When's the best time to visit the Philippines?

The dry season from November to April is really your sweet spot for exploring the Philippines - perfect weather for island hopping and outdoor adventures. If you're looking to dodge the crowds and maybe save a bit of money try visiting during May-June or September-October. You might catch some rain showers but honestly the weather's still pretty good and you'll have more space to yourself.

What cultural experiences can I join in on?

There's some amazing cultural stuff you can get involved with especially in Palawan where you can trek with the Batak Tribe and learn about their way of life. In El Nido you'll find these great cooking demos where you can learn to make proper adobo and eat kamayan-style which means using your hands - it's really fun! The Cuyonon artisans there do fascinating weaving demonstrations too. If you're after a full-on cultural experience the Philippines Classic 10 Day tour by One Life Adventures lets you try everything from stick fighting to coconut tree climbing and leaf weaving it's really hands-on.

Where can I find some off-the-beaten-path spots?

You've got to check out Port Barton in Palawan it's this lovely fishing village that's still pretty quiet with amazing beaches and snorkeling spots. The Banga-an Rice Terraces in Banaue are incredible too - you can actually meet local villagers and see how they produce rice traditionally. There's this great "Ifugao Villages Trek" tour that takes you to Cambulo and Batad villages where the rice terraces are just stunning.
