Quick answer: Chuseok 2027 runs Tuesday, September 14 to Thursday, September 16. Taking Monday the 13th and Friday the 17th off gives a 9-day break from September 11 to 19. September is rainy season in Cebu with short heavy showers and a typhoon risk, so keep one flexible day. Whale sharks and canyoneering run on most days, and flights from Seoul and Busan fill 2 months ahead.
Chuseok 2027 dates
| Date | Day | Note |

| Sat Sep 11 to Sun Sep 12 | Weekend | Start of the 9-day break with 2 leave days |
| Tue Sep 14, 2027 | Chuseok Eve | Holiday |

September 14 to 16 are normal working days in the Philippines, so tour sites are calmer than on Philippine holidays.
September weather and typhoon planning
Expect warm days near 31 degrees Celsius, humid air and rain showers that come and go in an hour or two. Typhoon season peaks from July to October. Most storms pass north of the Visayas, but one in range will stop boats and ferries for a day or two.
Plan boat trips like island hopping and Bohol ferries for the middle of your stay, so there is room to move them. We watch PAGASA advisories and reschedule tours when the coast guard holds boats.
A 5-day Chuseok plan
| Day | Plan |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Fly in, rest at a Mactan resort |
| Day 2 | Oslob whale sharks and Kawasan canyoneering |
| Day 3 | Mactan island hopping, weather permitting |
| Day 4 | Bohol day trip or a spare day for weather |
| Day 5 | Cebu City sights and shopping, flight home |
