View allFrequently asked questions
Do I need a visa?
Many nationalities enter visa-free for 30 days for tourism, provided you hold a return ticket.
When is typhoon season?
July to October, mostly affecting the east and north. Palawan is the least exposed and is the safer choice in that window.
How do I move between islands?
Mostly domestic flights plus boat transfers. Build in buffer time, as domestic schedules shift; we always leave a safety margin.
Is English widely spoken?
Very — the Philippines is among Asia’s most English-fluent countries, so communication is rarely an issue.
