What is a Banca boat?
Banca boats, also locally known as Bangka, pump boats, baroto, etc., are the primary water transportations of locals in the Philippines. Banca boats are commonly used for fishing, transporting goods, and island hopping tours. If farmers have carabaos for farming, fishers have banca boats for fishing.

Banca boats (or outrigger canoes in English) are built with outriggers on one side or both sides of the narrow main hull. Traditional banca boats are made of wood. The outriggers are made of bamboo to support and stabilize the boat. Unlike other canoes, banca boats travel faster and sail better even when paddled on rough waters.

In the Philippines, Banca boats have always been a staple for residents living in the coastal area. Early development of boat-building can be dated back to the pre-hispanic era. The archipelagic nature of the Philippines urged the locals to depend on Banca boats for navigating at sea, trading with other islands, and traveling from one community to the other.

The Paraw boat is an outrigger sailboat of the Visayan region. Paraw boats are distinguished by their big and triangular sails. Paraws were used for fishing and transporting people or goods, but now, Paraw boats are popular for boat rentals in Boracay. Paraw sailing is a must-do attraction in Boracay. In Ilo-Ilo city, the Paraw Regatta Festival is a well-known annual event for paraw boat racing.

Island Tours with a Banca Boat
Because of its large outriggers, the Banca boat glides smoothly on the water as you travel to your island destination. Touring with the Banca boat is also relaxing. You won't feel seasick because the outriggers provide stability. The Banca boat is open, spacious, and offers a 360° view of seascapes and the open water.

Banca boats used for tours also have retractable ladders on the side of the main hull, so it will be accessible for you to get down from the boat if you want to swim or snorkel. All banca boats can sail on shallow water which makes it convenient when you want to drop by on marine sanctuaries, beaches, or islands on your island tour.
