This is great! I was just in the Philippines for 5 months I've been home for a few days now just saving until I can go back I already miss it, can't wait to return thanks for sharing!
Appreciate it mate, and you're a lucky man if you were in the Philippines for 5 months! I'd be so keen on going back some day, explore some of the other areas I didn't get to this time round
I have spent about 2 and 1/2 months in the Philippines and that wasn't even close to being long enough. Going back in 2 days I wish I could spend 1 year exploring all the islands. Such a beautiful and wonderful place and the girls don't look bad either, I took 1 home to the USA and changed her last name
Thanks for your video! Will be travelling to the Phillipines this August with a couple of friends and I was wondering about the rainy season!! this definitely help. Hopefully it won't rain a lot
I'm very jealous, 2 years on and I'm still dying to go back. You'll love it - even if you do have rainy spells, you'll still have a blast, especially if you're going with a group of mates!
The Philippines are running out of those giant turtles because Chinese fishermen are illegally harvesting them to feed 1.4 billion Chinese. [Figures!] That Terrier is having "the Life" more than I am having now! :)
Mostly of foreign tourist hate Philippines due to it's lack of good connection to the outside world but your point of view of travelling the Philippines is different and I like it.Godbless
Thank you sooo much for this! I’m going in early August and was kinda sad that it won’t be all sunshine and rainbows but seeing this makes me realize that no matter what I’m going to have fun!
I'm just glad this video is doing it's job and showing people that it's not all doom and gloom in the wet season! You'll have a blast, I'm very jealous - really want to go back some day
hahaha! Thanks man, appreciate it.And glad you found it useful - nobody seemed to have done a comprehensive review of the place during the wet season so thought if I was searching for it, others must be!
@@KennyC I'm going to Phillipines that why bruv! And I love the edition and your way of talking and breaking down every topic. Hahahha thanks ! I am in the bus now ahhaha I can't text aghhjamsms
Thank you for making this video. I was skeptical about traveling there during the rainy season, but through your video, it appears that I will still have a good time.
Thank you for your Video mate! One of not many videos giving you a real insight into spending time there as well as very useful and accurate comments. Thanks
thank you so much for the video :) it is exactly what i was looking for cause im going to the phillis this july for about 19days! Thanks the detailled information! Can you tell me how much you spent in total (except the international flight)? Would be awesome! We are planning to do Cebu und Palawan :)
YES! Glad it helped you mate, there just seemed to be a lack of videos focusing on this time of the year! I can't say exactly, but our accomodation in total came to somewhere between £600 and £650 I reckon...but that's because Tao cost us £80 a day. Usually (except from the first place we stayed) we were paying about £23 a night on accomodation. I'd the say maybe throw on another £15/20 a day for food, drinks, and activities (on the days we weren't on the Tao boat). SO, if you add all that up it comes to just over £800! You can definitely do it cheaper (or go bigger), but I sadly didn't keep a note of how much I was spending each day and then made this video longer after the trip than I intended so can't be 100% sure sorry!
KennyC you're so right! :)you're video definitly encouraged me to go at that time! do you have any other helpful tips to share? maybe about packing? how was the situation with the mosquitos at that time and what helped? glad i found you man :) cheers anyways!
Sorry I may be a bit late to reply to this! Mosquitos were absolutely fine, I didn't have any issues although it can be random as some people get bitten more than others. Something I have found really useful to have on my recent trips are these portable batteries, here is a link to the ones I buy - www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01GJFNQYG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They charge your phone up about 4 times as fast as normal and can recharge them fully from 0-100% about 4/5 times before you have to recharge the battery itself - super handy to have! I'm sure if you just pack your normal stuff though you'll be fine :) a lot of the stuff you'll realise you'll need (like reef shoes) you can buy out there. Enjoy!
I really enjoyed your video, very informative! I'm thinking about going in July next year and i was a bit on the fence about travelling in rainy season. Definitely subscribing to your channel for more travel videos :)
Thanks so much for the useful info. I’m going to Palawan in a months time and didn’t know what to expect. Not to mention I didn’t know what they had in Coron.
This is awesome man. We’re headed to the Philippines in a few weeks! I’ve been looking for a video like this, you hit some questions I had spot on. Thank you!
Honestly this makes me so happy - it's the exact reason I made this video, because I was in that position and thought other must have been as well! Glad I could have helped mate, hope you have an awesome trip
If I'll visit Philippines in end of June or in start of July it's a really good weather there? No rains on Cebu? I keen on visiting that place, but I won't have any opportunities besides this months
The tropical weather in the Philippines makes it ideal to plant many variety of fruits and vegetables. That's why in the Philippines, theres so many fruits to choose from in the market and it is so cheap because you can easily plant those in your home using pots even in the city. I love it so much! Rainy starts from June to November still hot when not raining. The last half of rainy season is usually stormy. Dry and cooler is Dec to end of February then super hot is March- End of May
Awesome video, I’m planning a trip in late August early September with my girlfriend and neither of us have ever been to the Philippines. Please let me know what you suggest, only going to be there 14 days as well
cheers mate! Obviously I can only go off my own experience, but there's more than enough to do in Palawan alone. i just thought it was good sticking to that one island because we weren't having to hop on a plane every 4 days to go to one of the other islands. We didn't get to swim with the whale sharks, or visit the Chocolate Hills (two of the things I would have loved to do), but the Philippines isn't going anywhere! Whatever you choose to do, I think you'd be crazy not to visit Palawan in one way or another, from what I've read it's the most famous island for the whole 'tropical paradise' kinda vibe.
Nice voice... Nice narration... Try Caramoan next time - a place where survivors series are filmed. 14 days is very short exploring the Philippines. I really love nature, and it made me realize how wonderful the world is. See you Palawan on September❤️
Thank you for your video! When I went to Vietnam during the raining season it poured for about 1h per day only which did not bother me at all. Is it the same in the Philipines or do you have full on days of rain?
Benedicte thanks for watching! And no it sounds similar to what you experienced. We had days in Coron that were cloudy all day, but it would usually rain heavily for like an hour or two a day, so it’s really not that bad!
Thank you! There wasn't a tour company name involved with Tao, I just booked in directly through them. If you type 'Tao Experience Philippines' into Google it'll come up.
hello! i have enjoyed a lot your video! great experience!!! i’m planing to go the hole month in july. which transport did you take to travel from one point to the other of the island? thank you!
Thanks so much! I'm very jealous you're going for the entire month! We just got small coaches/buses to get to different points of Palawan. If you speak to anyone at any hotel/hostel you stay at they'll be able to arrange something for you, and they're extremely cheap :)
No worries! The peak season (or dry season) is between November and April. I think the absolute best 2 months to go are January and February. Then the wettest months are July, August and September.
Completely know the feeling mate! I stupidly booked my flights and then checked what the weather would be like...saw it was wet season and realised what an idiot I'd been...but it's all good, it's still paradise!
I was thinking of going to Philippines in July but wasn’t sure if I’ll go because I found out it rains a lot during that time but after seeing this video, I think I might just go😂🙌🏽 This video was very informative and yet entertaining. 👌🏽
That's exactly why I made it! I had the exact same thoughts, just I had already booked my plane ticket when I was having them 😅glad it helped you out though!
KennyC I have a question. I was thinking of going early June for two weeks and stay in Palawan. Do you think the weather would be like in your video? I don’t mind rain here and there but would prefer more sunny days.
I think it'll be slightly better - looking at monthly breakdowns of the weather, June tends to be drier than July (when we went). So I think it'll be similar in a lot of ways but you should have more sun and less rain on the whole!
Hi, I booked a one way ticket to Manila and planning to go island hopping and buying a ticket later to Phuket, as I'm unsure how long I will be staying in the Philippines. Do u know if u need a return ticket to enter the country?
Thank you so much for the great video and insight, I really struggled to find much about travelling in rainy season! Do you know if the weather affected many tours/travel options?
No problem, thanks for watching it! We didn't struggle to find tours when we were over there, so while I can't compare it to what it's like in high season (because I've never been), you're definitely not short on options. If anything, it may be easier because it's quieter!
Hi nice video :). We are planning to travel Philippines in September but I am a little worried about the weather. Do you know how many days of rain did you actually have? Or was it raining every day/night for 1-2 hours and then it stopped? Thank you!
Thank you! So I'd say out of the 14 days we were there, we had about 5 overcast days where we didn't see much of the sun (still very warm though). This doesn't mean it's raining 12 hours straight...it tended to come down in HUGE batches for about 20 minutes at a time, to the point it's actually quite exciting as it's an experience in itself. So long as you set yourself the expectation that it won't be clear blue skies and sun all day, everyday, then you'll be fine! Hope that helps
This is great! I was just in the Philippines for 5 months I've been home for a few days now just saving until I can go back I already miss it, can't wait to return thanks for sharing!

Oh wow congrats! That you love the Phils and bring one the filipina back home 😃👍👍
Glad that there are two or more "Rogers" now! :)
I guess you love Adobo and Lumpia so much, that you took one home for you to have someone that can cook that. I don't blame you.
Ilove loud tropical rain ,it's so conducive for relaxing and sleeping. lol

Funny as this is one if the reasonns i was interested in going to Philippines
I ddont do well in crowded places..

@helllena3851 did you find sunny days in august?

prefer the wet season, no crowds!
007thematrix007 but my question is, does it rain the whole day everyday during the wet season? Or are we talking on and off with sunshine aswell?
@@nsr5961 it only rains during the afternoon, about 2 pm, it pours for about 20 minutes, then stops. Full sun shine in the morning. 🙂
Great watch thanks. Very informative about when and where you went and not a blog about yourself which makes a nice change.
thanks so much, really appreciate it! And yes, that should always be the focus!

where is that falls? can't understand what name of the Water Falls
Can’t wait for out trip on August! Did it rain a lot during wet season?
Wet season is June to October. Longer than you expect.
I can't wait to go to the Philippines in July. God willing.
Very Excellent video🙏🏻👍🏻

Make sure you have drone already when you visit again to catch all the beautiful panoramic view at the air....
I got a drone 3 months after I got back! So gutted I didn't have one out there...o well just another excuse to go back ;)
Great Video mate, my endless searching of Philippines inspiration and I find Kent's guide! :)
Hahaha no way! Love that, and thanks mate - you should definitely go, amazing place. And hope you're well!
Really good video thanks for sharing !
Thanks for the sharing. Just curious what months are considered the rainy season? What are the high peak season for tourist?
No worries! The peak season (or dry season) is between November and April. I think the absolute best 2 months to go are January and February. Then the wettest months are July, August and September.
Really was worried about going in July but this video has made me happy
Completely know the feeling mate! I stupidly booked my flights and then checked what the weather would be like...saw it was wet season and realised what an idiot I'd been...but it's all good, it's still paradise!
Congratulation on a amazing TAO EXPEDITION. !!!
Thanks Jose - have you been as well?
Welcome to our country
How does the wet season of the Philippines compare to other tropical places in your experience?
I've not had the chance to experience many other tropical places yet, but planning on doing 3 months in Asia next year...so I'll let you know then!
