One of the reasons of our Boracay travel is to take my senior citizen parents on a getaway, having been confined at home due to Covid for such a long time.
We have decided on a Boracay land tour as it was easier for seniors than island hopping (hoping on and off a motorized banca).
I found a local tour guide ("Alex") in one of Boracay DIY groups, that I have joined online preparing for our Boracay trip. Alex is such a sweet heart. He is our driver, tour guide and photographer rolled into one. He is pleasure taking to and it was apparent that he really loves his job. We enjoyed our tour and did not feel rushed at all. A big plus, he also takes real good pictures! The only problem though is he has taken hundreds of them (all beautiful), it was so hard to edit and decide which ones make it to my social media pages.
You can contact him through FB Messenger>>> Alex Canindo
We started our tour at 8am, after a hearty buffet breakfast "Two Seasons". (Breakfast starts at 7am, so we have an hour to fill our tummies and dirty our feet with a short beach walk as we waited for Alex).

Our Itinerary included:
- Tambisaan Beach
- Mangrove
- Sinagpa Beach
- Diniwid Beach
- Keyhole - Boracay New Coast
- Puka Beach
We reserved two e-trikes (my parents, my sister and her family shares the other one). TIP: If you are travelling with seniors, request for lowered rides, so they can hop on easily.
So many pictures ~ can't decide which to post :D
Our first stop is the Tambisaan Beach
At the Mangrove Park
Sinagpa Beach is about 10-15 minutes picturesque stroll.
You can see Station 1-3 from here.
Note: It will be a bit difficult for seniors to walk as some of the steps were steep and will be slipper when wet.
Keyhole ~ New Coast Beach
Puka Beach
Our Tour Highlight... (hahaha)
This was a good way to end our day's tour.
Good service. Food fresh and delicious!
This restaurant is A++ approved by my family...
Part 2 of our Day 2 is a Sunset Cruise.
For this trip, we left the 60+ at the hotel to relax and recharge; and enjoy the white powdery sand of Boracay.
Now about our Sunset Cruise ~ for this tour we travelled via e-trike to Bulabog Beach where our cruise awaits.
I booked a sunset cruise, but unfortunately (yes, you read that right) got upgraded to a Party Cruise, with cocktails, beer, cheese and crackers to go. I was told it was a lot more expensive than our original planned tour, but it was also loud with lots of young party people on board... And we just wanted some quiet time ~ gazing at Boracay's beautiful sunset (which I think got scared of all the chaos on board, and did not show).
There is a market for this kind of tour, but it was obviously not ours. This tour left our eardrums numb :D
Alas, no Sunset too...
The tour ended 6pm and we took an e-trike back to our hotel. Ordered room service for Two Seasons' Four Cheese Pizza and Fruits shakes while we dipped and relaxed by the resort's pool.
