Search Anilao hotels

The best time to go to Anilao is during the dry season, which typically runs from November to May.


This period offers consistently sunny weather and calm seas, which are ideal for water-based activities like diving and snorkelling. The visibility underwater is generally at its best during these months, allowing for excellent viewing of Anilao's rich marine life and colourful coral reefs. The air temperature is warm but comfortable, typically ranging from 25°C to 32°C.


For avid divers, the months of December to April are particularly good. During this time, the waters are usually clearest and the chances of spotting rare macro creatures, for which Anilao is famous, are higher. Many dive resorts and operators are fully operational, offering a wide range of courses and guided dives.


Families travelling with children might find May to be a good option. While it's the end of the dry season, the weather is still very pleasant, and the water temperatures are warm, superb for swimming and beginner-friendly snorkelling.
