What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors find Lugutan Mangrove Park a refreshing and peaceful escape from Boracay's busy beaches, appreciating its unique mangrove ecosystem and the tranquil boardwalk. It's praised as a free, beautiful spot for photography and a chance to see a different side of the island, though some note it's small and could benefit from more information.
"Visiting Lugutan Mangrove Park was a refreshing experience, different from the usual beach spots in Boracay. The place is peaceful and surrounded by lush mangroves, giving you a closer look at the islandโs natural beauty and ecosystem. Itโs a nice spot if you want a quiet escape from the busy areas and a chance to appreciate nature. The wooden pathways make it easy to explore, and itโs also a great place to take photos. Definitely worth a visit if youโd like to see another side of Boracay beyond the white sand beaches."

"A strip of mangrove forest is very rare in the Boracay coastline and the Lugutan Mangrove Park is such a rarity. It's just a small strip of coastal forest but is enough to make one wonder how these stands of mangrove survive in what I suspect of an environment not conducive for such growth.
The boardwalk affords a few minutes of walk past this marvelous forest, all the while allowing a vantage of the scenic coast.
One wouldn't appreciate the experience of being there, what with the beautiful background for picture-taking, unless one gets there.
I do recommend that anyone planning for a Boracay Land Tour must include this mangrove park. For one, a Boracay experience is not complete if it is all about white sand beaches."

"No entrance!
Good place to take picture / selfie!
You can see fish and Mangroves of course.
Please do not litter to maintain the ecosystem and the place it self."
