Bohol in March
Great time to visit
The last month of truly comfortable weather before summer heat arrives. March gives you excellent conditions for all outdoor activities, though you'll pay peak prices and deal with substantial crowds at major attractions.
Weather
March temperatures climb to 31°C during the day with nights staying pleasant at 24°C. Humidity starts increasing but remains tolerable, and rain becomes even more sporadic. Expect blazing sunshine most days with occasional late afternoon cloud buildup.

All Months
November through May gives you the best weather—dry, sunny, and perfect for island hopping. December and January are peak season, so book accommodations early and expect higher prices. March through May gets hot and humid, but the crowds thin out.
Avoid June through October. The southwest monsoon brings heavy rains, rough seas, and cancelled boat trips. Some resorts on Panglao close entirely during this period. If you do visit during rainy season, pack waterproof gear and have backup indoor plans.
Holy Week (March or April) sees massive domestic tourism. Prices spike, and finding accommodation becomes a nightmare. Chinese New Year also brings crowds, particularly to Chocolate Hills and tarsier sanctuaries.
For the best deals and weather, target February through March. You'll get post-holiday pricing with excellent conditions for diving and beach activities.
