Tip*
Trips to Kalibo is way cheaper than of Caticlan. However, Kalibo is 2 hours drive from Boracay Island unlike Caticlan which is around 10 minutes from the island.

If you are taking the Kalibo flight, several van and bus company offer a trip going to Jetty Port. You can find them just outside the airport. Fare is around 250 to 350, depending which transport you prefer riding. It comes with a free boat ticket. When you are already at Jetty Port, you will be needing to pay an environmental fee (75php) and terminal fee (100php). Boat ride is usually 10 to 15minutes.
