There are numerous reasons why the Caribbean islands are incredibly popular, with the most popular reason being that they are the nearest tropical destinations for hundreds of millions of people who live in the eastern United States, Canada, and western Europe. Though the Caribbean weather is reliably warm every day of the year, there are some months that are far more popular than others.
In the article found below, we’ll discuss each of the different time periods with the reasons you might want to visit alongside reasons you might want to choose another time.
Now that you’ve decided you’d like to visit Tahiti or Moorea, most likely you’re trying to figure when the best time to visit is. This isn’t exactly an easy question to answer, but the good news is that this is because there really isn’t a bad time to visit. In other words, the best time to visit Tahiti or Moorea is simply when you’re available.
As with any destination, each time of year has both its positives and negatives, so each visitor will have to weigh their options themselves to find what’s best for them.
Luckily, for those planning a trip, you’ll find that daytime and evening temperatures in Tahiti, as well as throughout the entirety of French Polynesia, are incredibly stable from month to month. You’ll see on the temperature chart below that each day of the year is almost identical to the other days. Moorea Island is only 9 miles (17 km) away, so the climate and weather are basically identical, and there are better Moorea overwater bungalow resorts to consider as well.
Serving as an incredibly popular island for honeymoons and the romantically inclined among North Americans, Bora Bora has both its high season and the largest crowds during the months of June and July. However, for those with a choice of when to go there are probably better times of year, depending on your goals. We’ll discuss this all, below.
Due to the location, daytime and evening temperatures in Bora Bora, as well as throughout the rest of French Polynesia, are generally stable from month to month. Since Bora Bora is even closer to the equator compared to nearby islands, it tends to be even more consistent than Tahiti and Moorea, which are about 140 miles (230 kilometers) to the southwest.
Most people would describe the climate to be nearly (if not) perfect in Bora Bora, at least for a week or two at a time.
With an amazingly pleasant and consistent climate throughout the entire year, the best time to visit the Maldives is whenever you choose to visit. With that said, there are however, some subtle differences from one season to the next.

In spite of its tiny population, the Maldives is spread out over a very large section of the Indian Ocean.
As you’ll see by the chart down below, the weather within the Maldives tends to be nearly identical throughout, regardless of the month. The days tend to be quite warm and at least somewhat humid. The nights are known for being reasonably warm and a bit balmy.
Unlike most other tropical destinations, the Maldives is unique in that it has two different “monsoon” periods each year. Luckily, neither are known for any dramatic weather or flooding, so the differences are rather subtle.
want to stay in an overwater bungalow or a water villa, you most likely are going to want to head to either the South Pacific (Bora Bora, Moorea, Tahiti etc) or the Maldives, which is just southwest of India. There are nearly 30 resorts with overwater bungalows in the South Pacific , and over 75 with water villas (as they are usually called there) in the Maldives.
Unfortunately for many of us, overwater bungalows and water villas are expensive, sometimes shockingly expensive. So it’s a common question about how to book one of these beautiful rooms at a discount, and there’s some good news about that below.
If you are booking a honeymoon trip and, for example, you want to stay at the same resort where the Kardashians stayed in Bora Bora, then you might have to pay full price.
