What fees need to be paid when entering Boracay in 2025 and 2026?

When entering Boracay Island in 2025/2026, all tourists are required to pay two fees: environmental and port. The total amount is 450 Philippine pesos.

• Environmental Fee: 300 pesos. This is a one-time payment for the entire duration of your stay on the island. It is paid only upon first entry.
• Terminal Fee: 150 pesos. This is a fee for using port infrastructure. It must be paid both upon entry and exit from the island (totaling 300 pesos for a round trip).

Where and how to pay? Both fees are paid at the Caticlan Jetty Port building before boarding the boat to Boracay. First, you fill out a small form with passport details, then pay the fees at different windows. After that, you will be issued tickets/receipts that need to be presented when boarding at the pier.

Important: If you purchase a ready-made transfer from Caticlan or Kalibo airport "to the hotel door," these fees are usually already included in the total cost. Clarify this point when purchasing.

Thus, the minimum budget for entry and exit (only mandatory payments) will be: 300 (environmental fee) + 150 (port entry) + 150 (port exit) = 600 pesos.
