Travel health for Philippines
Hot and humid all year across 7,000 islands, with a typhoon season roughly June to November affecting the east most.
Before you travel
Hot and humid all year across 7,000 islands, with a typhoon season roughly June to November affecting the east most.
During your flight
On long flights, prolonged sitting and dry cabin air are the two most common complaints. Compression socks, regular hydration and short walks along the aisle are the usual measures.
Mosquito protection
Evening and night-time mosquito activity is common, particularly in rural and coastal areas away from air-conditioned resorts.
Sun & heat
Island hopping means whole days on boats with no shade. Water-resistant high SPF and a cooling towel earn their place.
Food & water
Bottled or filtered water is standard. On remote islands, purification tablets remove the dependency on supply boats.
First aid
A compact set covers the basics: minor wounds, blisters, disinfection and a thermometer. Add your own prescription medicines in their original packaging.
