4 Boracay Adventures Away from the Sea
When you think of Boracay, you picture powdery white sands and warm azure waters. But there’s more to this island paradise than sand, sea, and surf. Far from its pristine shorelines, right in the heart of the island lie lush tropical flora and fauna pulsating with life.
Take a walk on the wild side and discover another side of Boracay through the following activities:
Ecotours

Go on a different kind of adventure in Boracay with the Indiana Jones Ecotour, or the VIP Eco Tour. The Indiana Jones tour takes you to Nabas, where you can find the country’s longest cave. Marvel at the crystalized stalactites and stalagmites (watch out for dwarves while you’re at it), and reward yourself with a refreshing dip in the Hurom-Hurom Cold Springs after your trek in the cave. The mainland tour caps off with a scrumptious BBQ lunch complete with ice cold drinks.
The VIP Eco Tour, on the other hand, promises an exciting day of kayaking, trekking through the jungles of Antique, and braving the bamboo suspension bridge. The tour also gives you a chance to experience the soothing KAWA hot tub, and a gastronomic feast of local cuisines, coffee and liqueurs.
ATV and Buggy cars

- A visit to Happy Dreamland where you can get an adrenaline fix on the Sky Cycle with a group

Alternatively, you can also explore Boracay’s rugged paths on mountain bikes. You might opt to join the Cyclone MTB Club on their Sunday Bike Tours, tour the island solo, or with family and friends.
Electric Chariot Tours

Hop on a unique and eco-friendly electric chariot tour and explore off-the-beaten-path wonders the Boracay Island can offer. Shorter tours take you around the island’s vegetation on in-house tracks. The longer ones, on the other hand, take you to Boracay’s remote beaches and the Wildlife Expo where you can come face to face with one of the country’s largest saltwater crocodiles! This is one eco-trip you do not want to miss.
