The Philippines has 7,641 islands — and Memphis Tours knows exactly which ones to put on your itinerary.
Our Philippines tour packages for 2026 and 2027 cover the destinations that define this archipelago at its most extraordinary: the hidden lagoons and limestone karsts of El Nido and Coron in Palawan, explored by sea kayak and island-hopping banca; the perfectly symmetrical Chocolate Hills of Bohol, where tarsiers — the world's smallest primates — live in the mahogany trees below; the powder-white sands of White Beach in Boracay, consistently ranked among the world's finest; the centuries-old Spanish walls of Intramuros in Manila; the volcanic dive sites and heritage churches of Cebu; the mystical waterfalls and caves of Siquijor; the protected coral reefs of Apo Island near Dumaguete; and the ancient rice terraces of Batad in the Ifugao Cordillera, carved by hand over two thousand years ago and still actively farmed today.
Every Philippines trip package is private, tailor-made to your travel dates and interests, and available every day of the year — with expert English-speaking guides, seamless inter-island logistics, and Memphis Tours' full ground operation managing every transfer, hotel, and experience from arrival to departure.

View TripWith more than 7,000 islands stretching across the western Pacific, the Philippines is warm and welcoming all year round. The cool, dry months from December to February are perfect for island hopping in Palawan and exploring Manila and Cebu, while March to May brings the hottest, sunniest beach days of the year. The green season from June to October paints the Banaue Rice Terraces and the Chocolate Hills of Bohol in vivid colour, with fewer crowds and better value. Whenever you travel, there is always a corner of the archipelago at its best, from the beaches of Boracay to the dive sites of Cebu and the lagoons of El Nido.
Spring is the height of the dry season in the Philippines and the sunniest time of the year. From March through May, calm turquoise seas, clear skies and long golden afternoons make it the perfect moment for island hopping in El Nido and Coron, relaxing on the white sands of Boracay or snorkelling over the reefs of Cebu and Bohol. Temperatures climb to between 30°C and 34°C, so smart travellers start early, spend the hottest hours in the water and save city sightseeing in Manila for the cooler mornings and evenings. Visibility under the water is excellent, which makes this a favourite season for divers. Spring is also festival time. Holy Week brings moving processions across the country, and May is filled with colourful fiestas such as the Pahiyas Festival in Lucban and the Flores de Mayo celebrations in towns and villages. With reliable sunshine, warm water and a lively atmosphere, spring is one of the best times to enjoy the islands at their most vibrant. Book early, as Easter and the local summer holidays are busy.
From June to August the southwest monsoon, known locally as habagat, brings the rainy season to much of the Philippines. Showers usually arrive as short afternoon downpours, leaving the rest of the day warm and bright, and the countryside turns a lush, brilliant green. This is when the Banaue Rice Terraces and the Chocolate Hills of Bohol look their most beautiful, and waterfalls across Luzon and the Visayas are at full flow. The eastern side of the country, including Siargao, is often drier, making it a great choice for surfing and island escapes. Smart travellers keep their plans flexible, mixing island days with cultural visits to Manila, Intramuros and Cebu City, and allowing a spare day for ferries or flights in case of bad weather. Summer in the Philippines rewards travellers with quieter beaches, greener landscapes and some of the best hotel and tour prices of the year.
Autumn is a season of change across the islands. September and October are still part of the wet season and the peak of the typhoon period, so it pays to travel with flexible plans and good travel insurance. In return, you will find quiet resorts, empty viewpoints and excellent value. By November the rains ease, the seas calm down and the first dry, breezy days return. It is a wonderful time to explore the lagoons of Palawan, visit the Chocolate Hills of Bohol or enjoy the beaches of Cebu before the high-season crowds arrive. Autumn is also when the festivities begin. Filipinos start celebrating Christmas as early as September, streets glow with parols (star-shaped lanterns), and in October the MassKara Festival fills Bacolod with music, smiling masks and street dancing. For travellers who want fewer crowds, lower prices and a warm local welcome, late autumn is one of the most rewarding times to visit the Philippines.
While much of the northern hemisphere is wrapped up in coats, the Philippines enjoys its most comfortable weather of the year. From December to February, the northeast monsoon (amihan) brings cooler breezes, lower humidity and plenty of sunshine, with temperatures around 23–31°C (73–88°F). This is peak season for good reason: calm seas for island hopping in El Nido and Coron, perfect beach days in Boracay and Bohol, and clear skies for exploring Manila, Cebu and the cool mountain towns of Baguio and Sagada. Winter is also the most festive time to visit. The Filipino Christmas season is one of the longest and liveliest in the world, and January brings spectacular celebrations such as the Sinulog Festival in Cebu and the Ati-Atihan Festival in Kalibo. Because this is the busiest season, flights, island resorts and boat tours fill up fast, so it is best to book your Philippines tour well in advance.
More than 7,000 tropical islands in one country: the lagoons of Palawan, the beaches of Boracay, the Chocolate Hills of Bohol, the rice terraces of Banaue and the lively streets of Manila. Here is what to know before you go.
