Now that you've decided you're interested in visiting Tahiti or Moorea, you've most likely run into the issue of trying to figure when the best time to visit really is. This really isn't the easiest question to answer, but the good news is this is simply because there really isn't a bad time to visit. In other words, the best time to visit Tahiti or Moorea is when you're able.
As with any destination, each time of year has both its positives and negatives, so each visitor will have to weigh their options to find what time is best for them. During some parts of the year, you'll find budget friendly prices alongside a small chance of rain, while other times you'll find higher prices and an even lesser chance of rain. We'll go over all the details for each time of the year, down below.
Looking for one in Zanzibar for two? Any recommendations? Or Capetown?
Brian,
Sorry, but I’m not aware of any overwater resorts in Zanzibar or South Africa. Hopefully they will be planned in the coming years. -Roger
There are 4 of us that would like to depart Seattle and get to Sunshine in January. We were thinking Bora Bora but are wide open. I was wondering if there are any water bungalows that accommodate 4 people but are still affordable?
Theresa,
Most of the Bora Bora resort hotels allow 3 guests per room, but I’ve only heard about a couple that allow 4, and those are the super expensive ones that go for close to US$2,000 per night.
The option that might work are the so-called Brando overwater bungalows, which are privately run and not part of a resort. A couple of them have two bedrooms and they are actually more reasonably priced. Good luck! -Roger
Hi, there is 5 of us wanting to stay closest to Jacksonville Florida (Mom not doing well). That has the bungalows over the water, but HAS to be clear water? Can you help me? I am a disabled vet, and they wanted to do this for me. Thank you, Lisa🌞
Lisa,
The closest real overwater bungalows to Florida are in Jamaica at two different Sandals resorts, but the water isn’t turquoise like it is in Bora Bora and the Maldives. Unfortunately Florida is pretty much half a world away from the ones with clear water. The closest are probably in Tahiti, but if you go there you might as well go to Moorea, which is right next door. -Roger
