If you’re planning a trip to Boracay and want to see the island’s highlights without hopping on a boat, the Boracay E-trike Land Tour offers a charming, convenient way to explore. Priced at around $24 per person, this three-hour adventure combines scenic views, interesting stops, and local insights—all from the comfort of a fun electric tricycle. While it might not replace a full day of island hopping, it’s a solid choice for those wanting a quick yet rich snapshot of Boracay’s best land-based sights.
Two things we particularly like about this tour are the stunning panoramic views from the highest peak—giving you a sense of the island’s scale—and the friendly, knowledgeable guides who help make each stop informative and personable. That said, one thing to consider is the tour’s focus on land; if you’re eager for the crystal-clear waters and snorkeling, you’ll want to supplement this experience. It’s best suited for travelers who prefer scenic land exploration, limited mobility, or shorter sightseeing windows.
