There are many private vans for hire available right outside Kalibo City Airport which can take you to Caticlan town in 1.5-2 hours. Rate is US$5.00/person. These air-conditioned vans can fit 8-10 people. We highly recommend though that you book with either of the two airlines that fly directly to Caticlan town as this will save you the 1.5-hour road trip.
