Kalibo International Airport - What to Expect

Kalibo International Airport is the budget gateway to Boracay, the Philippines' most famous beach island. While the Caticlan airport is closer, Kalibo offers cheaper flights and handles 3 million passengers per year. The airport is 70 km from the Caticlan ferry jetty - about 1.5 hours by road - then a short boat ride to Boracay. A pre-booked combined van-and-boat transfer is the most convenient option, taking you door-to-door from the airport to your resort on White Beach.

Kalibo Airport primarily serves budget airlines heading to Boracay. The terminal has been expanded to handle international flights. The journey to Boracay includes a van ride and a boat crossing.

Getting from KLO to Kalibo

Ground transport from Kalibo International Airport depends on your group size, luggage and what time you land. Here are the realistic options at KLO:

  • Pre-booked private transfer - fixed price from $8, driver meets you at arrivals with a name sign, flight tracked automatically, free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.
  • Airport taxi - available at the taxi rank outside arrivals. Insist on the meter if metered taxis operate here.
  • Ride-hailing apps - Grab operates in Kalibo but airport pickup zones may be away from arrivals.
  • Public transport - may include local buses or shuttles, but service can be infrequent and confusing for first-time visitors.
