Boracay travel guides

Station-by-station planning for Boracay: airports, ferry routes, costs, nightlife, and where to stay on White Beach.

Boracay is a small island off Malay, Aklan, with a long west-facing beach and three informal stations that behave like different towns. Station 1 is quieter and closer to Diniwid, Station 2 is the commercial middle, and Station 3 spreads toward the wet market and Angol.

Most visitors arrive via Caticlan jetty or a longer land transfer from Kalibo. Read the Caticlan or Kalibo note before you book the cheaper fare, then use the vacation cost guide so environmental fees, boats, and meals are in the budget.

The Department of Tourism publishes national visitor guidance at tourism.gov.ph. Local jetty rules still come from Malay. This hub keeps the original Boracay paths from mytourguide.ph as rewritten planning notes, not live hotel inventory.
