What you gain in November
- ↑El Nido island-hopping tours are fully back in operation — November is when the defining Palawan experience becomes reliably available again after five months of disruption
- ↑Rainfall drops to just 50mm and sunshine returns to 7.2 hours daily — conditions approach the quality of the peak dry season without the peak-season prices or crowds
- ↑Nacpan Beach, the Secret Beach, and the inland lagoons are accessible and uncrowded compared to January-February; this is underrated Palawan
What you sacrifice
- ↓Prices are rising quickly as the dry season establishes itself — November is no longer a budget month, particularly in the second half
- ↓Early November can still see some residual typhoon weather; the season officially ends in November but tail events do occur
- ↓The rush of bookings from travellers who waited out the monsoon means popular resorts fill faster than in October
