Top Destinations in the Phillipines to Visit Even During the Rainy Season
The Philippines is known for its white sand beaches and hot summer weather. Unfortunately, it is also notorious for its heavy rains. Tourism in the country is booming in summer, but if you plan to visit from June to February, you might just get caught up in the rain. But fret not, there are still plenty of things to do and places you can visit in the Philippines even during the rainy season.
- Cebu
Cebu is one of the cities I know that rarely experience rain, and it’s also not visited by typhoons as often as others. - Palawan
Palawan is one of the hottest places in the country, and it has some of the best beaches in the world! No matter what season you decide to visit this beautiful group of islands, you’re bound to have lots of fun. You can still enjoy island hopping, delicious seafood and luxurious island experiences.
- Cagayan de Oro
Rivers come to life during rainy season, which makes it perfect for an exciting rafting adventure! Thrill-seekers get pumped up to try White Water Rafting in Cagayan River. Not only will you have an adrenaline rush, you will also get to see the scenery along the river. This is definitely not for the faint-of-heart. - Camarines Sur
If you cannot get enough of adventure, head to Camarines Sur’s (CamSur) Watersports Complex. There’s plenty of things to do there but the main attraction is wakeboarding. If that’s not your thing, you can ride a jet ski and even an ATV around Mayon Volcano which is two hours away from the complex. You can even spend more days there as they also offer accommodation.
- Siargao
The tides are usually more aggressive come rainy season. Just like river rafting, surfing would be an exciting activity in no less than the surfing capital of the Philippines — Siargao. The waves are much higher from October, and there are plenty of surf camps you can check out. The most popular one is Cloud 9, there’s also Jacking Horse and Stimpy’s. Eat. Sleep. Surf. Repeat.
