Why opted for this?? The ferry not only saves you money on flights but also accommodation for one night.

^UNO^. If your arriving from Naia Airport
From Naia Airport you can take cab/taxi or uber to Gil Puyat Avenue (Buendia), Pasay City Bus Station (near LRT Station), taxi rate should not be higher than ₱300 / $5.98. Taxi ride will took you 6 to 15 minutes. Bus choices are DLTB, JAM, CERES. I always prefer Ceres Bus it has wifi on board so you will never get bored. Take bus with sign board Batangas Pier (Port).
Bus fare to Batangas Port is around ₱200.00 / $ 3.98. The bus ride will took you 2 to 3 hours.

^TRES^. Caticlan Jetty Port to Boracay Cagban Port
Once in Caticlan Jetty Port, there are booths where you pay your terminal fee, environmental fee and boat ticket which all sum up to ₱200 / $3.98.
The boat crossing from Caticlan to Boracay takes only about 20 mins.
And from the port in Boracay, just hire a tricycle to your destination (Station 1, Station2 or Station3).
Tricycle fare is from ₱25/ $0.50 per head. If you have luggage, the standard fare is ₱100/ $1.99 minimum.

I prefer station 3, it has budget friendly accommodation rate and the vibe is chill. A lot of foreigners stay here for days, even weeks.
