What you gain in February
- ↑February averages just 20mm of rainfall — statistically the driest month in Palawan's calendar; sea conditions are reliable and boat tours almost never cancel
- ↑Water visibility in the lagoons and dive sites around Coron reaches its annual best; the limestone-filtered turquoise colour that defines Palawan photos is at its most intense
- ↑Valentine's season brings couples to the island, adding a festive atmosphere to the resorts and restaurants of El Nido town
What you sacrifice
- ↓Prices are at or near their annual peak — comparable to January; budget options book out completely and mid-range properties charge a premium
- ↓The most popular attractions (Big Lagoon, Kayangan Lake in Coron, Nacpan Beach) are as busy as they will be all year
- ↓Temperatures start climbing toward 30°C — still manageable, but the heat on exposed limestone boat decks is noticeable by midday
