Kalibo is a small town on Panay Island, and Aklan Province in the southern Visayas Region of the Philippines Archipelago.

Kalibo Airport is the larger airport funneling traffic to and from Boracay Island. The planes coming in and out of the Kalibo airport are larger Boeing 737 jumbo jets.

From Manila, you will leave from the Philippines Airlines Airport, this is there own airport and is separate from the domestic airport housing, SEAIR & Asian Spirit.

From Manila to Kalibo Airport on Panay Island flying by Philippines Airlines, the flight time from take off to the landing, is only 40 minutes, so by the time you arrive in Boracay you are fresh and not jet lagged.

Many foreign visitors traveling to Boracay from Manila choose this route because of its scenic beauty. Traveling through the Philippines countryside from Kalibo to Caticlan is an opportunity to see some of the local provinces and how the native Filipino people live.

If you are a Foreign tourist I do encourage you to take this route at least one time. The trip is very beautiful, relaxing and again, an opportunity to see the real culture of the Filipino people.

Southwest Travel & Tours will be your Boracay tour guide from the Kalibo Airport to Caticlan, where you will get on a Southwest banca boat at the jetty port and be taken to Cagban Beach, the arrival area for Boracay Island.
