9 Things to Do in Boracay When it Rains
Read itThere’s a surprisingly good choice of things to do in Boracay when it rains. You might think that the island, being known as a tropical paradise, is all about its beaches and outdoor activities – and you'd be mostly right. Fortunately, with its tropical climate, you'll still be generally warm when it rains, so you can go out and have fun with just a light raincoat or a simple waterproof poncho. If the idea of getting soaked from the sky doesn't appeal in the slightest, there are also some indoor attractions to enjoy.
Boracay's wet season is called Habagat, and typically lasts from June to October. Many visitors pick that period despite the risks of rain, for several good reasons: hotel rates are lower, there are fewer people on the beaches than in high season, and it's rare to see uninterrupted rain for several days (except during typhoons, of course). Whatever the period you come to Boracay for holiday, the rainy-day activities displayed below may come handful.
