Most places in the Philippines have provincial museums and historical sites to visit.I bet you will enjoy the tour with the whole family whether the sun is shining or not. Visit the National Museum, Children’s museum, Manila Ocean Park and other Theme Parks. Today, museums are brilliant places to go with the whole family.
2. Surfing

Surfing in the beaches of Baler, Launion, Siargao, Bagasbas in Camarines Norte and Puraran Beach in Baras, Catanduanes. Kudos to those watersport advocates who strongly believe that the bigger and larger is better.

4. White water rafting
This particular activity and/or sport has become popularly growing and evolved into a major tourism spot in Cagayan De Oro. Locals in the province used inflated tire tubes and rafts made of bamboo to enjoy this water sport activity.
5. Beach Bumming
Enjoying the beach is also more fun in the Philippines. I swear, I love the beach and I really don’t mind when it rains. During the rainy season, it could rain continuously for several days. Last year, I had a trip with my travel buddies in Bantayan and Malapascua and it was raining. Celebrate life and get wet at the beach. Get your swim wear and buckets ready because it is going to be a lot of fun. It’s now the right time to use your waterproof cameras to capture the stormy weather. This gives you and your family an opportunity to shoot amazing images of nature. Water droplets, cloud formations and eventually a colorful rainbows.
6. Water Park at home
Set up and fill the inflatable pool to create a wet and wild theme park. Join the kids in the pool by initiating a water war. Enjoy the water balloons and play with the water guns. Allow those youngsters to have fun under the rain for a while then finish off in the shower then create another activity with some cookies and milk and watch your favorite movie. I am sure you will look back into that day with laughter and good memories.
7. Camping
Others are so extreme to hike and camp during rainy season. But you can still pitch a tent in your backyard with your friends or family. Enjoy the rhythm of the raindrops hitting your tent and talk about some ghost stories and use your flashlight to create images on the walls or perhaps play a board game like Monopoly and crosswords. Or just listen to the sound of Music.
8. Go to the SPA
Pamper yourself with a spa treatment. It is an ultimate way to spend time no matter what the weather is.
Some of the water activities mentioned are challenging which requires a high level of skill and a lot more dangerous for beginners. These water sports have dangerous reputation but despite its intimidating reputation there are several factors we have to consider.

And more often your trip comes with a bargain ( You’ll see a rainbow after the rain). Now that is a groovy kind of thing. But engaging in a water activities anywhere close to a thunderstorm is a different story. Thunderstorms are seriously dangerous.
