Here is the sentence:
By air or by land, you’ll have a great fun with these courageous
characters.
The sentence is from a game description. There is no reference to journey. I am assuming that this is a slang or idiom that I am not aware of.
The main characters are birds. They play on a beach. However, sometimes they fly too. Can the phrase "by air or by land" suggest that the action is in air or land?

There is not enough information here to say what was meant. It was likely not written by a native speaker and all bets are off as to what was intended.
