Not to be missed is the pumpboat trip from Caticlan to Boracay, which takes just 15 minutes and is very pretty. This is a great way to see Catliclan and there is plenty to do in Boracay for those who decide to stay there a while. There is lots of accommodation to choose from and restaurants selling cheap and tasty traditional cuisine.
Getting There & Away
Caticlan has its own airport, with regular flights from Manila (2 hours). There is also a regular pumpboat taking passengers to Caticlan from Boracay and back again in just 15 minutes.
