There has been talk about Carabao Island being developed as a world class tourist destination. Rumor has it that the Air Transportation Office under DOTC has already greenlighted a multi-billion project which includes the construction of an international airport on the island. They say that such an airport will feature state-of-the-art facilities which promise to accommodate even big aircraft doing international flights. If all these were true, then thousands of tourists will flock this small island that's close to Boracay.

For the mean time, Carabao Island remains to be an off-the-beaten-path destination and an unexplored territory. It is bounded by the famous island of Boracay in the south, and Tablas in the north. The only way to get to San Jose (the town's official name), at least for now, is to take an outrigger boat that plies to the island on a daily basis. Gifted with a diverse landscape (rolling pastures, powdery white sand beaches), Carabao Island can be a perfect destination for backpackers and travelers seeking a quaint island experience. For those looking for some peace and quiet, it's a complete antidote to the wild atmosphere of its neighboring island, Boracay. This is a guide on how to get to Carabao Island.
