Best Time to Visit Boracay, Philippines

When to go to Boracay

Boracay has two seasons that flip its character entirely. Amihan (November to May) gives you the postcard: glass-flat White Beach, paraw sailing at sunset, kitesurfing on the Bulabog side. Habagat (June to October) flips the winds: White Beach gets choppy and many activities move offshore or shut.
