*Getting there from Caticlan (Boracay Island)

Sibuyan Island is the perfect Escape from Boracay. The easiest way to get to Sibuyan  from Boracay Island How to get there and how much it will cost you ???? :-?

After spending a few days in Boracay Island and you want to find an escape from the noise, crowds and the hedonism of Boracay, where you can actually feel "relaxed" without pretensions and stay away from the crowd of Tourist.The answer is Sibuyan Island, some tips how to get to another paradise.

Maybe some travelers already heard about this place but only a few dare to adventure there due to its inaccessibility. Some travelers think its difficult and takes a lot of time to travel there, so its usually overlooked. Well, there's easy ways, depend were you coming from, but let me concentrate on the route to take if you are coming from Boracay Island. Via Roxas City, Province of Capiz the best time to start your journey .

From Caticlan Jetty Port (Gateway to Boracay) you leave at around 7pm for the last trip (Van) going to Kalibo and its will cost you Php100 only. Looking for affordable and safe lodge to stay in Kalibo ? no worries about that there's a lot of affordable lodge or Hotel in Kalibo to stay for Over night but i would like to refer the place where i stayed before. The Carillo C9 Hotel, its quite affordable Hotel safe and clean as well.





 As how much it cost ????

Php 350 - for standard room with fan (No Tv) they have also another option if you want air conditioned rooms.

Waking up early in the morning is the way, because the van first trip to Roxas City is around 5am. Riding a tricycle can bring you to the Terminal where the van departing going to Roxas City.

From Kalibo proper to Roxas Terminal its cost Php 120 peso only (1hour/30min) to travel, you will expected to be in the City around 6:30am


From Pueblo Terminal Roxas City Capiz you can ride a tricycle going to Culasi Port one of the gateway going in and out from Sibuyan Island but before riding a tricycle you need to negotiate as well for the Transportation with the driver ... I pay 50peso to Manung Driver :-)

From Pueblo Terminal to Culasi port it takes 30min ride its depend if there is no heavy traffic.



The Culasi Port of Roxas City.

- From their you will ride a motor Banca, its takes 4 to 5 hours of travel before you can see the Virgin Island of Sibuyan.
Motor Banca fee its about 350 per person not Bad .....




After a long time of travel .. witness the majestic beauty of the island .. from the breath taking view of Mt. Guiting - Guiting Natural Part .. its truly called 'PARADISE"
