It's a great way to enjoy a sunset. You spend days and evenings watching boats go up and down the island. This wasn't originally one of the activities on our radar but then we checked with our contact on the beach and it was so cheap that we decided that one of the sunsets would be out on the water. I don't know how it would be in the middle of the day but splashing on the water in the heat would be welcomed. In the evening, there was a nice breeze and the warmth of the sun on the face made it perfect. Both guides were great about taking pictures for us. We didn't even ask; They know people want some shots :-). The only thing to be aware of is the 'net' that you sit on. They aren't nets. More like zip ties. You can manage when you're in a comfortable position but it's not somewhere to sit or lay however you want. You only have a few choices. It's a must activity to do while in Boracay. On the next visit, it'll be something we do again. read more

One of the things that stand out once you get to the beach on Boracay are these small sailing boats with blues sails on the water from dawn to past sunset. They are called Paraw and are described as a double outrigger, which a framework projecting over the side of the boat to stabilized it. .You don't sit is the haul which is vary narrow but on the the nets that is stretched on the outriggers The ride on the water is smooth and brizzy with a few splashes of water you will travel from one end of the island to the other, My guide told us about the key points you can see from the boat while we sailed. The boats are also popular as a romantic or photo taking ride during sunset. You can book online or just get some tickets on the beach at many stores that sell tourist activities, Cost was 750 pesos per person, that is $15 for a one hour ride. The nets can be uncomfortable so I do not recommend it if your body is sensitive to how or what you sit on. read more
