About the Bulalacao – Caticlan crossing
Two departures a day from Bulalacao in Oriental Mindoro to Caticlan, at 10:00 and 22:00, arriving 13:30 and 01:30. Three and a half hours across the Sibuyan Sea.
Mindoro's southern exit
Most Mindoro traffic funnels north through Calapan to Batangas and Manila. This route goes the other way — south to Panay and the Visayas — which makes it the shortcut for anyone travelling between Mindoro and Boracay without doubling back through Luzon.
The night sailing lands after midnight
The 22:00 arrives at Caticlan at 01:30. Worth planning for: onward transport from the jetty port at that hour is limited, and the Boracay boats do not run through the night.
