2GO Travel to Boracay, Batangas-Caticlan

2GO Travel to Boracay, the Batangas-Caticlan Route

Did you know that you can ride a boat to Boracay? Yes! Instead of taking an airplane ride, you can book a ride from 2GO Travel. We experienced this during the sudden holiday announcement and wanted to go somewhere far from our place. So, here is our experience riding 2GO Travel to Boracay and vice versa.

Batangas to Caticlan – 2GO Travel to Boracay

Here is our experience during our trip going to Boracay from Batangas Port. Our vessel for this trip is St. Anthony de Padua (SAP) which is one of the small ships of 2Go Travel.

Boarding

Our journey to Boracay started at the Batangas Port at 8:30 PM when the boarding is announced. We fall in line as soon as the announcement is made to board the ship, there are a lot of passengers because it was a Thursday and the next day is announced as a holiday. So, I think we were out of the boarding gates and near the ship around 9:30 PM.

Per batch, we were told to leave our things on the ground, so the bomb-sniffing dogs can check it out.

Sorry for the blurred picture, the dog is checking everything so fast, I can’t keep up! Haha

 

Tourist Class of SAP

As soon as we boarded, we settled down in our beds in the tourist class section of the boat.

This is an air-conditioned public area with lots of double-deck beds which were designed like this so guests can have a little bit of privacy. We were hoping to upgrade so we can experience the private rooms, but all of the private rooms were occupied already. So, we highly suggest that you book your target upgrade immediately as soon as you buy your tickets.

We were in the tourist class section, so our comfort rooms are also from the public area.

There are sinks, toilet bowls, and shower rooms so everybody can still take a shower if needed.

Our departure is at 9 PM, so the only included meal during our trip is breakfast. Good thing they also serve dinner so we can buy some because we were really starving.

Caticlan to Batangas – 2GO Trip to Boracay

It’s time to go home from a quick but enjoyable vacation in Boracay. This time our vessel is St. Ignatius of Loyola (SIL). On this trip, there are two stopovers, the first is in Odiongan, Romblon, and the other is in Batangas Port.

Boarding

After passing through the boarding gates, we were asked to place our bags down again so the bomb-sniffing dog can check it out. Then, we went straight to the ship. We were excited because this is a larger ship than SAP.

Cabin Room for 4

Also, this time we had a chance to upgrade to the Cabin room for 4. This is a better room because this is private for 4 people, and has its own amenities.

Oh yes just look at our excited faces! Haha

There is also a television and a desk. We were expecting that the signal of the television will be lost in the middle of the sea, but to our surprise, the signal is consistently good throughout our journey.

Toiletries are also provided like this soap and bath towel.
