🛬 Arrival at Kalibo Airport
Upon arrival, you’ll likely notice the Ati-Atihan costume displays in the terminal — a warm cultural welcome to Aklan!
Just outside the airport terminal, you’ll find vans ready to take passengers to Caticlan Jetty Port. If you want a more adventurous route, you can also catch buses from Kalibo town proper to Caticlan.

🚤 Boat Ride from Caticlan Jetty Port to Boracay
At Caticlan Jetty Port, you will board a banca (pump boat) to Boracay Island. The port you arrive at depends on the season and weather conditions:
- Tambisaan Port is used during Habagat (Monsoon season) and low season
- Cagban Port is used during summer and peak tourist season
When we visited in July 2014, we arrived at Tambisaan Port. The boat ride takes about 15 minutes.
Note: Tambisaan Port has no pier or bridge — you’ll step off the boat directly onto the sand, so expect your feet to get wet.
