Flight from Manila or Cebu to Kalibo or Caticlan.
From Manila, take the 50-minute Philippine Airlines flight to Kalibo in
the province of Aklan; from where you travel another two hours inland (
via bus or jeepney ) to Caticlan, visitors are asked to fill up forms
regarding travel details. Then, it's off to Boracay via outrigger boats.
STAYING IN.
There are around 200 establishments for every whim and budget. From
airconditioned rooms to quiet cottages trimmed with greens and flowers. A
number of these have airconditioned rooms and television sets, others are
blissfully powerless--just the way nature wants it.
GETTING AROUND.
The mood is very casual. Dress light. Walking is great for exploring the
island's numerous white sand beaches, freshwater lagoons, coconut
plantations and fishponds. Low-powered motorcycles are also available. Or
go on horseback. Peso is the medium of exchange. The U.S. Dollar and major
credit cards are widely accepted. Peak season is from November to May.
