01 · Overview
The best time to visit the Philippines is between November and April, when dry days bring Palawan’s lagoons and Banaue’s rice terraces to life. With 25°C to 30°C weather, it’s great for island-hopping in Cebu, diving Tubbataha, or exploring Manila. For lower rates, try October or May.
