Boracay Island, Backpacking and Commuting Tips

This article focuses on how to get to Boracay. From the NAIA International Airport, take a flight bound for Kalibo International Airport; the travel time is about an hour. Besides Kalibo International Airport, there are different modes of transportation that you can choose to go to Boracay Island via the Jetty Port. Instead of booking private transport, I asked the guards or sales ladies at the airport about the public utility vehicles to the Jetty Port. As instructed, I rode in a van bound for Jetty Port for 200 pesos, and the travel time is about 2 hours. On the other hand, another option is via Batangas Port, where you can board with 2Go Ferry to Caticlan, travel time is within 7-9 hours.

My Solo-Backpacking in Capiz, Antique, Guimaras, and Ilo-Ilo

Day 1 - Itinerary: Manila to Roxas Airport:

• I rode in a tricycle from Roxas Airport to my first destination - Panay Church. Travel Time: 23 minutes. Fare: 200 pesos. ETA: 7:30 AM.
• Upon arrival, I easily felt the cool and fresh air blowing.
• I also noticed an event banner hanging by the side of the church; thus, with respect, I did not check the entire part of the Panay Church, including the largest bell on top. However, I stayed in the area for an hour and thirty minutes.
• Had my breakfast at 7-11, in front of the church, while starring on its gorgeous facade.
