Spring

Hot, dry weather and calm seas, ideal for island-hopping and beaches.

Summer

The start of the rainy season, with green landscapes and fewer visitors.

Autumn

The peak of typhoon season, so we plan carefully around the weather.

Winter

Dry, pleasant weather and the most popular time for travel to the islands.

Questions

Questions travelers ask about the Philippines

December to May is the dry season and the best time for most islands. June to November brings more rain and the risk of typhoons, so we plan routes and timing with care.

Nonstop flights from New York to Manila take about 16 to 17 hours. We arrange the onward domestic flights to Palawan, Boracay or Bohol.

Ten to fourteen days allows time for two or three regions, such as El Nido, Bohol and Boracay, with a night in Manila.

U.S. citizens can generally visit for up to 30 days without a visa and must complete a free online eTravel registration before arrival. Entry rules change, so we confirm the current requirements for your trip.

Short domestic flights connect Manila and Cebu with Palawan, Boracay and Bohol, and boats link the nearby islands. We arrange every flight, boat and transfer.
