Island Life: Paraw Sunset, Cliffs & Puka

Traditional Paraw sunset sailing, Ariel’s Point cliff diving, Puka Beach shells.

What to Do When You Aren’t on the Water

Paraw Sail: ~1,500 PHP (€25) for private boat | Puka E-Trike: 250 PHP

• Paraw Sunset Cruise: Sail on traditional bamboo outriggers as the sky turns fiery crimson.
• Puka Shell Beach: Untamed northern beach with wild waves, driftwood bars and zero high-rises.
• Ariel’s Point Day Trip: 5m, 8m, and 15m cliff jumping platforms with BBQ and open bar boat ride.
• Mt. Luho Viewpoint: Hike or take an e-bike to the highest peak for a 360-degree island vista.

Even though Boracay is legendary for wind, the island offers endless adventures for rest days or non-kiting partners. The calm waters of White Beach in the winter months are like a swimming pool, perfect for stand-up paddleboarding, freediving, or simply lounging with a coconut.

For panoramic photography, visit Mount Luho to see the kite lagoon on one side and the white sand expanse on the other. In the afternoon, hire a boat to Crocodile Island for pristine scuba diving.

Insider tip: Sunset Secret: Skip the noisy motorboat tours and book a silent wind-powered Paraw sailboat right around 5:15 PM for pure magic.
