Boracay Guide
Map of Boracay
This is the map we print and hand out on the island, free to zoom into here or download for the trip. One side is the island itself, from Station 1 down to Station 3 and across to Bulabog. The other side is the D'Mall directory, the bars and restaurants, and the emergency numbers worth having offline.

How to read the island
Boracay is about seven kilometres long and almost everything a visitor books sits on the west coast, along the four kilometre stretch of White Beach. The island is small enough that the difference between one area and the next is a walk, not a journey.
White Beach Station 1
The northern third of White Beach. The widest sand, the biggest resorts and the quietest stretch of the four kilometre beach path. Willy's Rock sits offshore here.

The middle of the beach and the busiest part of the island. D'Mall, most of the restaurants and the main boat landing are all here, which is why the back of the map is a D'Mall directory.
See where to stayWhite Beach Station 3
The southern end. Quieter, more budget stays and small local restaurants, still on the same continuous beach path.
See where to stayBulabog Beach
Directly across the island from Station 2, a ten minute walk east. This is the kitesurfing and windsurfing side, busiest from November to April when the Amihan wind blows.
See where to stayDiniwid Beach
Just north of Station 1, around the headland past the cliff path. A small cove with a handful of places to stay and none of the crowd.

The top of the island, marked on the map above Diniwid along with Ilig Iligan Beach and Mount Luho. Coarse shell sand, no beach path, reached by road.

There is no airport on Boracay itself. Both airports are on the mainland of Panay and the last leg is always a boat across to the island.
Caticlan Airport (MPH)
From Caticlan Airport (MPH), it is a short 5-minute ride to Caticlan Jetty Port. From there, you take a 10-minute boat ride across to Boracay's Cagban Port. Our guide meets you at the airport, handles all ticketing and fees, and accompanies you the entire way to your hotel. Total travel time is approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
Book an airport transferKalibo Airport (KLO)
From Kalibo International Airport (KLO), you take an air-conditioned bus or private van for approximately 1.5 hours to Caticlan Jetty Port. From there, it is a 10-minute boat ride to Boracay.

Where are Stations 1, 2 and 3 on the Boracay map?
They are the three sections of White Beach, running north to south. Station 1 is the northern end with the widest sand, Station 2 is the middle where D'Mall and most restaurants are, and Station 3 is the southern end. The whole beach is one continuous four kilometre stretch, so the stations are areas rather than places you arrive at.
How long does it take to walk from Station 1 to Station 3?
About 45 minutes to an hour along the beach path, which runs the full four kilometres without a break. Most guests walk it in stages rather than end to end.
Which port do boats to Boracay use?
Cagban Jetty Port, on the south east tip of the island, is the arrival point for boats from Caticlan Jetty Port. Tambisaan, further up the same coast, is the island's second jetty port and is also marked on the map.
How long does it take to get to Boracay from the airport?
From Caticlan Airport (MPH) it takes about 30 to 45 minutes door to door. From Kalibo Airport (KLO) allow 2 to 2.5 hours.
Can I download the Boracay map?
Yes. The full printed map is free to download as a PDF from this page, both the island side and the D'Mall directory on the back. It is the same map handed out on the island, so it is worth saving to your phone before you travel.
