The
best way to get to Boracay from the domestic airport is to fly to Caticlan
(the airport nearest Boracay.) Once at Caticlan, take a passenger boat
across to Boracay. Get off at Boat Station One and get
your feet wet. Walk north towards Willie’s Rock. Porters will help
you with your luggage and direct you to the Blue Lilly Villa.
Arriving by boat and wading ashore is a very refreshing way to arrive
anywhere. This is a very real “I’ve arrived on the beach”
feel and it’s very cool.
