The outrigger creaks, the sail fills and Boracay’s western horizon turns molten orange—this is Paraw sailing at sunset. Riders board a low wooden double-outrigger, the Paraw, push off from White Beach and glide across shallow turquoise water while a steady trade wind lifts the triangular sail. The craft heels gently; the outriggers steady each roll so passengers can focus on the light and the water’s hush.
