Summary: Our local travel guide set it up for us. The usual process is having to line up (or looking for someone to do it for you) then you are assigned a paraw. Most paraws have a place within the boat to leave your bags but you might get wet as you board the boat. We sat along the sides on nets and sailed to the sunset. One of the more memorable moments in our Boracay trip. Definitely an unplug moment.
