What people love about Philippines Tours in August
This tour takes you through all the best bits of the Philippines by uniquely covering the East and West sides of the islands. The accomodation is backpacker style and offers you the opportunity to sleep on the beach under the stars in paradise, what's not to love.
16 Days Philippines Adventure with El Nido to Coron Island expedition (Independent Tour)
- 13 Days Best Philippines Island Hopping (private guide & driver）customizable
We’ve always booked our family trips through UME Travel’s private tours, and we always have the best experiences—whether it’s in China, Japan, or Southeast Asia.
- Philippines West
We had a wonderful time on The Philippines West tour. Our guides, Patrick and Amer were excellent in organizing transportation, accommodation and fun things to do. The highlight of the tour was the Castaway island adventure and island hopping with red carabao tours. My only complaints would be that the van drivers were driving too fast for the road conditions. We weren't on a tight schedule and an extra 30 minutes per trip would be a lot safer. I would certainly recommend Trutravels for value, itinerary and adventure. A big thanks to our great guides Patrick and Amer who clearly love their jobs!
What our customers ask about Philippines Tours in August 2026
What are the best places to visit in Philippines during August?
August opens up excellent opportunities to explore key Philippine destinations. The waters around Cebu welcome whale shark watchers while El Nido's lagoons and hidden beaches shine between rain showers. Bohol's Chocolate Hills take on a deeper green hue and the Banaue Rice Terraces showcase their most vibrant colors. A stay at Solea Coast Resort in Panglao or Hue Hotels in Boracay provides convenient access to these attractions. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "The island hopping in El Nido was absolutely spectacular especially visiting the Big Lagoon and Secret Beach."
Are there any special festivals in Philippines during August?
Cultural celebrations fill the Philippine calendar in August. The streets of Davao come alive during the Kadayawan Festival while Angono Rizal hosts the colorful Higantes Festival. Manila presents a month-long celebration of arts and culture. Visitors staying at The Henry Hotel Manila find themselves well-placed to join these local celebrations. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The timing of our trip coincided with the Kadayawan Festival which added an amazing cultural dimension to our Philippine experience with incredible street performances and local celebrations."

The monsoon season brings regular rainfall to Manila and Luzon during August. Yet destinations like Boracay and Palawan often see sunshine between brief showers. Guests at Four Points by Sheraton Palawan experience temperatures ranging from 26-32°C (79-90°F) with quick-clearing afternoon rains. According to a TourRadar traveler: "Despite visiting in rainy season we still got to enjoy most activities and the weather actually made the Chocolate Hills even more spectacular with the lush green vegetation."
How reliable are domestic flights in Philippines during August?
August's afternoon thunderstorms can affect flight schedules particularly in Manila and Cebu. Tour packages like Total Philippines include domestic flights with 20kg baggage allowance.

How crowded are tourist spots in Philippines during August?
The shoulder season of August brings lighter crowds to major attractions.
