Philippine Flights to Boracay: Best Times to Be There

There always are Philippine flights that can help take you to this world-famous beach paradise called Boracay. Whether you are from continental US or Hawaii, Philippine Flights can either take you to Manila or the much “closer-to-Boracay” Cebu - Mactan International Airport. If you already are in the Philippines, domestic flights can fly you to Caticlan airport or Kalibo airport which are both in the province of Aklan, where Boracay is found.

The beach paradise called Boracay is voted by many reputable travel magazines and publications around the world as one of the best. In fact, the Sun Herald of Australia (which is incidentally also known for its beaches) and Harper’s voted Boracay as the world’s best beach. No wonder a lot of tourists take Philippine flights – they are captivated by the beauty of this tiny island in the Visayas. Think of it warm crystal blue waters, powdery fine white sand, world-class accommodations, great food, and an ever exciting nightlife.

Best time to be there

Ask anyone who have been there when to best time your trip to Boracay and one of the answers would be, “anytime.” There always is something for you in Boracay anytime of the year.

Tourist peak season, the time when a lot of Philippine domestic flights are agog with backpackers, surfers, scuba divers, nature lovers, and … lovers, is from December to April. You may also favour going there from May to June but these months could sometimes be very hot – and there always is the tendency for the rainy season (which is June) to arrive early. This can ruin any beach party or activity that you have in mind.

Going to Boracay from December to April is more favoured by those who love the nightlife this tiny island paradise offers – and there’s no lovelier party than one with more people. As they say, the more, the merrier.

Christmas and New Year’s eve are the most popular dates for visitors here. Nature lovers and the romantics prefer October and November for the island’s best sunsets during these months. Halloween is also a very popular date for tourists here. November is also a low season here so the romantic ones favour this time of the year to visit. Also, “low season” means cheaper rates.

January offers a big plus for the visitors: it is the month when the world-famous colourful Ati-atihan street dancing festival is held in nearby Kalibo. January is “party time” for most of the tourist destinations in the Visayas. It is a good time to book earlier if you plan on getting on one of those Philippine flights for the Visayas at this time of the month.

Early summer, the Lenten Season, or the months of march and April are also the exciting months for those who love beach activities. Local celebrities, movie and television personalities, international beach sporting organizations literally flock to Boracay for a summer in the sun.
