Best Time to Visit Philippines

The best time to visit Philippines is during the dry season which runs from December to May. The weather is consistently warm and sunny, perfect for spending time on the beautiful beaches and doing outdoor activities like hiking and sightseeing. The sea temperature is also ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and water sports during this time. It is worth noting that this is also peak tourist season and accommodation may be more expensive during this time. However, the stunning scenery and friendly locals make it worth the visit any time of year.
