Bohol in October
Not the best time
The wet season's tail end offers hope but little reliability. October works for risk-tolerant travelers who can handle frequent rain interruptions but want to catch the tail end of low-season pricing.
Weather
October begins the transition out of monsoon season with temperatures staying at 31°C but humidity starting to drop slightly. Rainfall decreases but remains significant, with storms becoming shorter but more intense. Sunny mornings become more reliable.

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.
