Anybody know Carabao island?


There are trips from Caticlan to 2 points in Carabao Island (one is to Hambil, the other is to Lanas). Back then its 70 pesos, one way, and leave Caticlan Port at 9 am daily.





From Caticlan, it bring the local employees of Boracay, it continue to Hambil and Lanas.





I travelled to San Jose in May 2006 and the same boat will travel back to Boracay/Caticlan the next morning. Travel time is 40 minutes approx.

Rob








just rent the boat for 1/2 a day





..dont remember what we paid 1500 or 2000 pesos but we spent a day going around..it was fun





..we were also there in low season





Rob




depending on weather or currents, sometimes it can be very difficult and very rough getting there. so double check this before you and Gilligan head out, especially if you plan on bring youngsters.










...of course if it is rough or bad weather dont head out.





..remember that a lot of boatman on Boracay are from Carabao and go back and forth





..depending on your comfort level you might want to stick closer to Boracay..and just go around the island
