For Isahaya in April, you'll want flexible clothing. It's wise to pack cotton shirts, comfortable shorts, and a pair of jeans for cooler evenings. A light sweater or jacket is useful for air-conditioned spaces (like buses) or unexpected cool moments. Also bring a poncho, it will rain a lot! Waterproof everything you can. Expect water temperatures of around 17°C (63°F), which is definitely too cold for comfortable swimming. Your luggage space is better used for other items.
