Best Time for the The Palawan Island Hop
Sweet spot: January, February, March — computed from NASA POWER climate normals across the route's overnight towns, balancing temperature, rainfall and daylight.
Dry season: lagoon tours run daily and the El Nido–Coron ferry keeps its schedule.
Typhoon-influenced months — island hopping gets cancelled at short notice; build buffer days.
