Getting to Broacay
To get to Boracay from Manila, take a short one-hour flight to Caticlan Airport (Godofredo P. Ramos Airport).
From there, it’s a quick 10-15 minute ride to the ferry terminal, followed by a short ferry trip to Boracay.
Once you arrive, local transport like tricycles or private shuttles can take you to your accommodation.
You will be able to book these transfers in advance through your hotel or with private companies. Options can be found HERE.
PLEASE NOTE: Upon entering Boracay you will be required to pay a terminal and environmental fee, totalling at 300 PHP ($8 AUD).
Where to Stay
Most of the action happens around White Beach, and for the best experience, we recommend staying in Station 1, where the sand is soft, the vibe is peaceful, and the views are unbeatable.
Our wedding celebrations will take place at The Lind Boracay, a gorgeous beachfront resort in Station 1.
If you’d like to stay close to the festivities, The Lind is an excellent choice.
We have organised for our guests to receive a discounted rate through the Lind.

FAQs
How do I get to my hotel from the airport?
The Lind and other large resort chains offer return transfers from the airport, including sea transport.
These transers can be purchased at the time of your accomodation booking.
Who should I fly with? (Arriving in Boracay)
Cebu Pacific offers direct bookings from Sydney to Caticlan, stopping over in Manila.
However, if you would like to book your domestic flight from Manila to Caticlan separately, we also recommend AirAsia and Philippine Airlines.
Should we extend our stay to explore Boracay?
Absolutely! Boracay is a stunning destination with beautiful beaches, water sports, and nightlife. Consider extending your trip to make the most of it and go island hopping!
When should I book flights?
We recommend booking flights at least 3-6 months in advance. Keep in mind that the Philippines experiences a peak tourist season from December to May so booking early will get you the best deal.
Don’t forget to keep an eye out for sales!
Do we need to arrange our own transportation from the airport to the resort?
Most resorts in Boracay offer airport transfer packages that include the ferry. Alternatively, you can book these services upon arrival at Caticlan Airport.
Who should I fly with? (Arriving in Manila)
From Sydney, your main options are Qantas, Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific. Each of these airlines offer direct flights to Manila.
What’s the best part of the island to stay on?
Most people stay along White Beach, divided into three stations:
The Lind is located in Station 1 so we recommend staying in either Station 1 or 2.
