We used My Boracay Guide for our trip and couldn't have asked for a smoother ride. The booking process was easy, the vehicles were clean and comfortable, and best of all, the staff are all really friendly. Highly recommend this service if you're heading to or from the airport in Boracay.
Excellent service and very reliable. Our transfer went smoothly and worries free. Contacted the operator to confirm the pick-up. Arrived in our hotel 15 min. earlier. Strongly recommended
Booked round-trip transfers from Caticlan airport to Boracay Island hotel. Everything was organised really well and we received emails and text messages ahead of transfers. Staff were courteous and friendly. Recommended and will definitely use again.
MyBoracayGuide is highly recommended for their services. They are very responsive to my inquiries, their staff are very courteous and helpful. They are all punctual. Facilities (vans) are all clean. They've made our journey more relaxing and enjoyable.
Used them for transport from airport to hotel and back. They did a great job as it's a pain to get to and from airport to hotels yourself.

From a private hangar near the Domestic Terminal at Manila's Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA). A MyBoracayGuide representative meets you outside the terminal and escorts you directly to the helicopter.

Is the Manila to Boracay helicopter flight weather-dependent?
Yes, for passenger safety. MyBoracayGuide will coordinate rescheduling if needed. The dry season (November to April) offers the most reliable flying conditions.
