How to get there

You can get to Carabao Island from Tablas Island, Caticlan and Boracay Island. Instructions can be found here.

Where to stay

Upon our arrival at Brgy. Poblacion, Carabao Island we asked the people near our docking area on where we can stay. We met Ma’am Laura Bandala, a local of Carabao Island, she pointed us to a house made of nipa located at the beach front (my type of lodging). It has 2 floors and 2 CR inside. It was surprising when she told us that it was only 500 Pesos/night. We stayed there overnight. The downside of this lodging though is the water in the CR was a bit salty. It was somehow salty and because of that it was hard to take a bath. You can look for Ma’am Laura Bandala if you want to stay here.
