Seven thousand islands, which means the flight in is rarely the last leg. The dry season is the whole ballgame here, and the typhoon belt sits over the east.
Planning a trip to Philippines?
One dry season, one wet, and a surf season that deliberately overlaps the storms. Domestic flights and bangka boats both stop for weather, so build in a spare day.
The reliable window. Calm seas for the Palawan crossings, clear water for El Nido and Coron, and ferries that actually run. December to February is the coolest and the busiest.
The coolest months, and the ones stacked with festivals. Sinulog fills Cebu in January and Ati-Atihan runs in Kalibo the same month. Manila is at its most bearable.
Rain and typhoons through the east, and the exact reason Siargao surfs best from around September to November. Prices fall away everywhere else.
