Season by season
Dry season (May–October)
Dry season (roughly May–October): sunny and dry — the hills turn brown — with generally calm mornings and good visibility.
Wet season (November–April)
Wet season (roughly November–April): greener landscapes and fewer visitors, but more chance of rough seas and rain cancelling boat trips.
Sea, surf & trail conditions
Winds often pick up in the afternoon; boat trips aim to be on the water early.
