Questions, answered.
How much are the Boracay fees for a foreign visitor?
About ₱500 on the way in: a ₱150 terminal fee, a ₱300 environmental fee and a ₱50 boat fare. On the way out, the terminal fee and boat fare again, about ₱200. On a Private Boracay transfer they are already in your price.
Do children pay the fees?
Children aged five and under do not need a terminal pass when proof of age is shown or uploaded to Boracay iPass. Tell us their ages in the notes and we price it correctly.
Can I pay the fees by card?
At the jetty counters, plan on cash in pesos. You can also prepay all three online through the province's Boracay iPass and show a QR code at the gate. On our transfers you do not pay anything at the jetty.
Is the environmental fee paid every time I cross?
No. It is paid once per stay, on arrival. The terminal fee and the boat fare are paid each way.
Do I need a hotel booking to enter Boracay?
You may be asked for proof of a confirmed booking at an accredited hotel at the jetty, so keep your confirmation on your phone.
