20 Favorite Boat Shots: Philippine Travel Stories

The Philippines is an archipelago including 7,000+ islands. The main mode of transport in between islands is the boat. It can be called by various names: banca or paraw, and, to the less lucky, speedboat, ship or luxury yacht. However we’re not having this list to include the most costly boats. We looked at the pictures and observed that there’s so many charming VisitPinas-tagged shots of boats, with the stunning Philippine scenery

in complete display screen. 1. Paraw

Regatta We begin, of course, with the Grand Winner of the 2018 Paraw Regatta Picture Contest. The festival is held every year at the Villa de Arevalo district, Iloilo City.

According: “Tawi-Tawi is the southern most province in the Philippines with approximately 300 surrounding stunning islands in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. Although I was only able to go to a few of these islands, from what I saw, this is an almost unblemished paradise.”

Ability Photo by: Denmark Alejandro(examine his Instagram account, @thenmarked, for more images). Boracay Island, Aklan. Denmark captioned this “Artist’s Stroke “. There must be debate why this image, of an artist painting a group of colorful paraw, should be here.

Art imitates life, and, oftentimes, life imitates art. We began with six photos of boats in a Philippine setting. We could have stopped at our 10 most favorite shots, however we’re practically sure, as holds true in previous circumstances, that a small number is never adequate to accommodate the fantastic photos of anything immersed in Philippine scenery.

7. Lookout

This is freediving at Apo Reef Experience. 11. Blockade Picture by: Jhe Rizada (inspect his Instagram account,
