Glide across Boracay's famed sunset waters aboard a hand-crafted paraw — the iconic double-outrigger sailboat of the Visayas. Watching the sky ignite over White Beach from the water is one of the Philippines' most sublime travel moments.
What to expect
The paraw's hand-sewn sail catches the afternoon breeze as you push off from White Beach into open water. Within minutes the shore recedes and you're surrounded by nothing but sea and sky — Mount Luho rising in silhouette behind you. As the sun dips, the sky cycles through peach, amber, and deep crimson, perfectly reflected in the flat-calm water. Your helmsman shares stories of the paraw's centuries-old seafaring heritage while you sip chilled coconut water and watch the lights of White Beach flicker on.
Good to know
Sails depart roughly 90 minutes before sunset — check the exact time at booking as it shifts seasonally. A private paraw (4 pax max) is strongly recommended for the full luxury experience. Transfers from the port to White Beach take 15–20 minutes by tricycle.
