The ideal time to visit the Philippines is between December and February, when the weather is cooler and dry. March to May brings hotter temperatures and high humidity, making sightseeing less comfortable. During this period, consider spending more time in the water or visiting higher elevation areas like the Banaue rice terraces.
From June to October, the rainy season can disrupt travel plans due to heavy rains and the risk of cyclones. Small group tours are usually not available during these months, but you can still plan a tailor-made holiday at any time of the year.
