Dry season
November to April is the dry season in the Philippines. It's also the most popular time of year to buy flights Sydney to Boracay. Tourists flock to the island paradise, and hotels and airlines tend to increase their prices as demand skyrockets. If you don't mind paying a little bit extra, you'll have idyllic weather for your time on the island.

What should I pack for Boracay?
Shoes
It's easy to get around Boracay on foot, but you'll be walking on uneven streets or the beach.
