Clark International Airport, located in Pampanga, is a significant gateway for tourists travelling to and within the Philippines. It offers a convenient alternative to Manila’s bustling Ninoy Aquino International Airport for those in or near Central Luzon. Clark is well-equipped with modern facilities and provides a variety of domestic and international flights, making it a great starting point for your Boracay adventure.

Getting to Boracay from Clark involves a combination of land and air travel, but don’t worry —I’ve broken down your options for a hassle-free trip.

The fastest and most straightforward way to reach Boracay is by hopping on a direct flight. Several flights operate between Clark International Airport (CRK), Caticlan (Boracay Airport) or Kalibo Airport. Here's what you should know:

Caticlan Airport (Godofredo P. Ramos Airport) is the most convenient entry point to Boracay. It is just a short boat ride from the island, and flights typically take 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Estimated Cost: PHP 3,500 to 6,000 one way (depending on the season and availability).

Kalibo International Airport is another option. It’s about two hours away from Boracay by land and ferry, but flights to Kalibo are often more affordable.

Estimated Cost: PHP 2,500 to 5,000 one way.

If there are no direct flights from Clark to Caticlan or Kalibo, you can travel to Manila first and then catch a flight to Boracay.

Several bus operators connect Clark to Manila. The trip takes approximately two hours (traffic permitting) and costs PHP 300 to 450.

Travel more comfortably by booking a private vehicle to Manila, which costs roughly PHP 2,000 to 3,000.

Once in Manila, you can fly to Caticlan or Kalibo following the directions above.

An alternative for adventurous travellers on a budget is to travel entirely by land and sea. Here’s how it works:

While this route is significantly cheaper, it’s more time-consuming and less comfortable than flying.

To make your trip even more enjoyable, follow these insider tips:

Pack only what you need. Summer atti, swimwear, sunscreen, and flip-flops are essentials. Leave heavy boots and coats behind.

The dry season (November to May) is the ideal time to visit Boracay, with sunny skies and calm waters. Avoid the monsoon season if possible.

Flights and accommodations can fill up quickly, especially during peak travel months. Use Traveloka's platform to find and reserve your preferred travel options ahead of time.

Boracay isn’t just about lounging on sun-kissed beaches (though we wouldn’t blame you if that’s your top priority). Here are some activities and attractions to add to your itinerary:

Stretching for four kilometres, White Beach is Boracay’s crown jewel. D dip in its refreshing waters, enjoy a sunset catamaran ride or unwind at one of its many beachfront cafés.
