Scenic Bohol casts an enigmatic charm drawn from the many archaic mementos spread throughout the oval-shaped island - from unique rock formations to a 45-million-year-old mammal species, from massive stone watchtowers built by the Spaniards in the 18th century. Serpentine coastal highways wind along unsullied beaches and rustic rivers where the tourist can stop at any point and jump in for a dip.

By Boat: A fleet of pumpboats shuttle people back and forth between Caticlan and Boracay every 15 minutes from 6am and 6pm (P19.50, 15 minutes), and then as the need arises between 7pm and 10pm. A special trip costs around P300 to P400.
The boats arrive on White Beach, stopping at one or more of the three boat stations. During the southwestern monsoons (June to November), the sea on the White Beach side can get too rough for outriggers. During this period they dock on the east coast, at or near Bulabog, a P20 tricycle ride from White Beach. Be prepared to get your feet wet upon arrival in Boracay.
By Plane: The swiftest way to Boracay from Manila is by air to Caticlan - but you won't be alone trying to book this flight during the high season. Good alternatives are the airports of Kalibo and Roxas, from where it's an easy two to four hours by road to Caticlan. |

By Boat: Travelers can reach Cebu by boat from nearby locations. Boats travel to Cebu regularly from Butuan, Cagayan de Oro, Davao, Iligan, Manila, and Ozamis. Boats come in through the Port of Cebu which is on the east coast, approximately halfway between north and south, in the straight which separates Cebu from Mactan.
By Plane: The airport serving Cebu is the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (http://www.mactan-cebuairport.com.ph/). This airport is served by major international airlines such as Singapore Airlines and Air Philippines. There are no direct international flights from North America so North American travelers will need to transfer in one of the major world cities which flies to the area. This is standard travel fare and should not concern travelers. |
