 
Boracay‘s two faces: Lean and peak seasons
Boracay Island is a picture of water-centred adventures, active people, and lively activities. But those totally adventurous travelers who have gone to this world-famous beach during its uptime and downtime can attest that this scenario is not always the case. During the lean season in Boracay, energy tends to subside, and this is mainly caused by the wet weather prevalent in the islands from May to October.
A Boracay experience should not be limited to the peak season; any true beach lover must also have a taste and feel of what it is like in the island during the lean season. Hence, make a comparison of . . .
Boracay peak season
Weather. Visitors to Boracay want the splash because they feel hot, which is the weather from October to May, the Amihan season. During this time, sultry north-easterly winds sweep off rain-carrying clouds off the island, making it wide open for the scorching sun. Summer temperature ranges from 28 to 32 degrees Celsius.
Scene. With many people looking for relief from the heat, the typical Boracay scene during these peak months is throngs of suit-and-trunks-wearing locals and tourists laving themselves in the crystal-clear beach waters. Expect the dizzying movement of beach-goers to and from the shore during the day; at night, the dark is lit by restaurants and bars offering drinks and foods (alcohol and pulutan included) to night owls.
Reservation. The wisest travel plan for both foreigners and locals is to secure their accommodation months prior to their arrival. Given the huge flock of tourists, getting the best hotel or resort in terms of price and amenities is one guarantee of a great Boracay vacation.
Pros and cons. Visiting Boracay during these busy months means that water-related activities can be taken advantage of to the fullest because of the perfectly dry weather. The other side of the coin is having to pay more for accommodation, activities, and food, given that business owners capitalize on this season to earn more. Some sensitive travelers may find the daytime heat overwhelming.
Boracay lean season
Weather. Boracay is subject to cool southwesterly winds called Habagat during the lean season. This creates frequent rain showers throughout the island, and sometimes, the weather can be harsh if tropical storms and depressions have formed. Rainy temperature ranges from 25 to 28 degrees Celsius. This season is perfect for those who enjoy the watersport of kiteboarding.
Scene. During the lean season, the island is still frequented by tourists, but lesser so. But if ever a trip to the island is fancied during this time, expect to see a thinner crowd often biking around or walking about for solitary self-searching. This time is good for regaining peace of mind since there is less noise and movement. Depending on how far deep the season has gone, weather can be unpredictable, so scheduling water-related activities may be challenging.
Reservation. Lean season is best for people looking for cheaper accommodations, for resort and hotel owners offer discounts or drop their regular rates. Everything is as good as the peak-season offerings. Since the weather may be mostly rainy, booking a room with views to the beach is better for relaxation.
Pros and cons. Boracay seems to tone down its energies during the lean season. Although visitors still come and go, the fidgety and frisky scenario is not full on. Water activities can be enjoyed only when the sky spares some sun. Visitors benefit from this Boracay repose by getting lower prices in everything. This time is perfect for quiet revitalization of the body and spirit, for visitors are more undisturbed to tour the entire island and see its beauty.
Tips and advice
Whatever the season, Boracay Island remains a good place for vacation. Rain or heat must never deter people from continuing with their plans, especially if the goal is enjoyment and relaxation. If less trouble is desired, get a good accommodation first, and then embark on a no-plan adventure in the islands, since that is what infuses thrill to a Boracay vacation.
