When to visit

The best time to visit Busuanga Island is during the dry season from November to May when the weather is sunny and perfect for beach activities. The wet season from June to October brings heavy rainfall and rough seas, making it less ideal for outdoor excursions.

Getting around

Getting around Busuanga Island is mainly done by tricycle, motorcycle, or rented car. Tricycles are the most common mode of transportation for short distances, while motorcycles and cars are ideal for exploring the island at your own pace. Boat tours are also popular for visiting nearby islands and snorkeling spots.

Traveller tips

Make sure to bring sunscreen and insect repellent as the sun can be strong and mosquitoes are prevalent. It's recommended to book tours and activities in advance to secure your spot, especially during peak tourist seasons. Respect the local culture and customs, and always ask for permission before taking photos of the locals. Be mindful of the marine life and coral reefs while snorkeling or diving to help preserve the ecosystem. Lastly, try the local cuisine and street food to experience the authentic flavors of Busuanga Island.
