Getting to Crystal Cove Island
Getting to the island requires a boat ride from either Boracay or Caticlan. As the boats, or bangka, are much less frequent from Caticlan Port, most visitors from Caticlan make the journey to Boracay first, before heading to the island. Boats leave from Cagban and Tambisaan ports regularly, usually as part of island-hopping packages. Shop around for the best deal to suit your needs.
