How to Get There
The boat ride is part of the experience.
1
If you are coming from Boracay, the usual route starts by heading back to the mainland through Caticlan.
2
From there, travel to Alegria, also known locally as Kalipayan, which serves as the jump-off point for a banca going to Ariel’s Point.
3
This is not the kind of place where most visitors simply drive up, park, and walk in. The boat ride is part of the experience, and as soon as you begin approaching the cliffs by sea, you already get a sense that this is not an ordinary day trip.

Step-by-step
From Boracay, travel back to Caticlan mainland. From Caticlan, go to Alegria or Kalipayan in Buruanga. Arrange a banca transfer to Ariel’s Point. Travel time by boat is around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on sea conditions.
5
If you are visiting for the first time, it is best to check the weather before going. Sea conditions can affect boat travel, and calm waters will make the whole experience much better.
