Good to Know
- December–March is peak season with the best conditions: dry, sunny, and warm. Crowds and accommodation prices are highest during this window.
- May–September brings heavy monsoon rains and rough seas, especially in June–July. Many beach activities become limited, though prices drop significantly and the landscape becomes lush.
- October–November marks the transition between monsoons with scattered showers but improving conditions by late November.
- Despite the 'dry season' label, there is no true dry month—rain occurs year-round due to the tropical rainforest climate.
