Best Time to Visit Driftwood Village #

Visit during the November-April dry season for calm seas, lower humidity and the best diving conditions. The wet and hurricane seasons bring lush landscapes but more rain, potential cancellations and higher insurance concerns.

Dry Season

November - April · 24-29°C (75-84°F)

Sunny, low humidity days are perfect for snorkeling, sunbathing, and cycling along the shore; this is peak season, so expect higher prices and more crowds.

Wet Season

May - October · 26-31°C (79-88°F)

Warm, humid conditions with frequent afternoon showers; scenery is lush and underwater visibility varies-plan flexible water activities around weather windows.

Hurricane Season

June - November · 25-31°C (77-88°F)

Increased tropical storm risk from August through October; itineraries can change suddenly, so travel insurance and flexible plans are smart choices.
