Seasonal pricing
Peak & Off-Peak
Peak season is December to March, corresponding with the dry season on the south and west coasts, leading to higher fares. Shoulder seasons (April, September-November) offer a good balance of weather and value. Fares may be lower during the Yala monsoon (May-August), but expect rain in the south-west.
