Paraw sailing is one of the most popular water sports in Boracay. The Paraw sail itself is a sight to behold. A Paraw or Parao is a small boat that is native to the Philippines.
Experience the quintessential Boracay vacation with a breathtaking paraw sailing trip. Aboard a traditional Filipino sailboat, you will glide across the crystal-clear waters of the Sulu Sea, surrounded by stunning tropical views. These unique boats, crafted from wood and bamboo with two outriggers, offer a smooth and tranquil ride without a motor, powered solely by the wind.
Its single shallow hull is usually made from wood and bamboo. On a Paraw’s sides are two floaters or logs that act as outriggers or katig to help balance the boat and prevent it from capsizing. An average Paraw can hold around 4 to 6 passengers.
A Visual and Sensory Delight
Whether you choose a morning excursion or a sunset cruise, paraw sailing is a feast for the senses. During the day, feel the fresh sea breeze on your skin as you marvel at the brilliant turquoise water and the island's white sandy coastline. For the most magical experience, time your sail for sunset. As the sun dips below the horizon, the sky explodes in vibrant hues of orange, pink, and crimson, creating a truly unforgettable vista.
Share the Experience
Paraw sailing is an activity for all ages and a perfect way to share a special moment with family or friends. Most paraws can accommodate up to 10 people, making it an intimate and memorable group adventure. For a more private experience, private charters are also available. The friendly and accommodating crew are often happy to snap photos so you can be fully present in the moment.
Tips for a Perfect Paraw Sail
Booking is easy: You can book through tour operators, but it's also easy to arrange a trip directly with boat operators on the beach to avoid commission fees.
Timing is key: To avoid crowds and get the best weather, the dry season from November to May is ideal.
Dress for the water: Wear light, comfortable clothing and remember to bring sunscreen, a hat, and a waterproof bag for your belongings.
Be spontaneous: Sunset trips are extremely popular, so if you're flexible, a daytime trip might be cheaper and less crowded.
Don't leave Boracay without experiencing this iconic sailing adventure. It's more than just a boat ride—it's a serene, culturally rich, and awe-inspiring experience that perfectly captures the spirit of the island paradise.
