Best Time To Travel Philippines

The best time to travel to the Philippines depends on your idea of fun. It always helps therefore to have a basic understanding of the climate conditions and seasons in the Philippines before scheduling a trip to the nation with the 7,000 plus islands.

The Philippines has two seasons, the dry season and the wet season. The dry season often begins from November up to mid-May, while the wet season begins from mid-May to October. Heavy rainfalls characterize the wet season, as well as storms and typhoons. On the other hand, it can be very hot and humid during the middle part of the dry season, particularly between the months and March and April.

If you are a beach person, then the best time to travel to the Philippines is during the summer months, which is from March to May. Beach bums from around the world flock to the Philippine’s world-class beaches, like Boracay in Malay, Aklan, Mactan Island in Cebu, Panglao near Bohol, Dakak in Sulu, and Honda Bay in Palawan. There are many refreshing fruits in season during this time, too. If you want to go around Christmas time and Easter time, it’s best to book your accommodations earlier. It’s very difficult to get a seat from any airline around this time as everybody else seems to be going the same route.

The months between August and October are not ideal for tourists because of the storms and typhoons. If you choose to go during this time, you may not be able to experience and enjoy the great outdoors, where the Philippines is known for. However, there are many fun activities you can do, like visiting the old churches and museums, clubbing and shopping.

Looking forward to experience the Philippines’ colorful festivities? Then visit the country during the months of December, January and May. These months are very colorful.
