Dry season runs roughly November to May. The clearest water and most reliable boat days are March to early May. Rainy season (June to October) has its own quiet beauty — fewer crowds, lower rates, and the gardens at their greenest. Tours can be cancelled by sea closures, so build a buffer day if you're travelling in the wet months. We've written more in the journal.
