This is an updated travel guide on how to get from Batangas to Caticlan by ferry via 2Go and Starlite Ferries with the latest bus schedule and fare. Last updated on 24 April 2023.
Located in the municipality of Malay in Aklan, Caticlan is the closest port to Boracay and the most popular gateway to the island. For those who prefer air travel, Caticlan has an airport that serves many flights to and from Manila. However, if you are closer to the southern end of Luzon or prefer the scenic route, taking the ferry from Batangas Port to Caticlan is highly recommended. You can even take the same ferry, Starlite or 2Go, from Caticlan to Batangas to complete your journey.

Passengers can board the ferry at the Batangas Port and expect a travel time of approximately 9 to 11 hours before arriving at the Caticlan Jetty Port. A short boat ride from the jetty port will then take them to Boracay Island. Departures are scheduled daily, with convenient morning and evening options available.
With its iconic white sand beach, crystal-clear waters, and colorful sails, Boracay is just a ferry ride away from the Batangas to Caticlan route.
