Frequently Asked Questions

It does not dock. Ships anchor off Caticlan, on the neighbouring island of Panay: tender to Caticlan terminal, then a ten-minute ferry to Cagban jetty on Boracay itself.
Allow a good hour door to door: tender, ferry, then a motorised tricycle over the hill. Depending on conditions, some lines land passengers closer to White Beach.
By motorised tricycle, often electric. Just name your destination; regulars talk in stations, the sectors that mark out the west shore.
About four kilometres of white sand, fine as flour, along translucent water, backed by a pedestrian path of restaurants, shops and activity counters.
Yes, even near the jetties, where mask and snorkel are enough to meet colourful fish. The many dive centres serve reefs a few minutes away by boat.
An outrigger sailboat typical of the Visayas, with a triangular sail, gliding engineless across the lagoon. One or two-hour trips are arranged right on the beach: sitting on the netting between the floats gives the best view of the island.
The Philippine peso, in small notes for tricycles and stalls. English is spoken across the island, alongside Filipino and the local language, Aklanon.
Rarely: ships usually weigh anchor before then. The west coast sunsets are famous across the country, but the golden late-afternoon light is ample consolation.
Absolutely. Tricycle, ferry and tender all depend on the sea and the crowds. Crews post cut-off times that are worth taking seriously.
