About Philippines
While it seems somewhat impossible to summarize 7,100+ islands, there are some signature characteristics that are consistent enough to highlight. The most perfectly manicured palm trees, countless coconuts, unseen blue hues, pristine beaches, delicate yet endless rainbow colored reefs, and the warmest eternal smiles of anywhere to be remembered. It’s a snorkeler’s paradise, an island-hopper’s heaven, an adventure addict’s bottomless escape, and home to some of the most genuine, raw and authentic experiences.
When to Go: December-April is the high season, as it is dry with pleasant temperatures. June-October is the low season when passing typhoons can cause days of torrential rain. The upside of the wet season are accommodation prices up to 30 percent lower in resort areas.
