Compared to other Filipino destinations, Palawan is one of the safest places for tourists that are seeking a tropical holiday. There are few safety risks, but if you're vigilant and follow the instructions of your tour guide, it's very unlikely that you'll encounter danger.

Palawan's dry season starts in October and ends in May. For the best combination of agreeable temperatures of around 27°C and as little rain as possible, the best time to visit Palawan is between February and March.
