Bora Bora in March
Not the best time
March offers the best deals of the year as wet season winds down. But you're gambling with weather - some years are gorgeous, others see lingering storms.
Weather
March marks the tail end of wet season with temperatures reaching 31°C and humidity that's suffocating. Rain becomes less frequent but more intense when it hits. Expect about 12 rainy days with cyclone risk still present.

March Tips
- •Last chance for wet season discounts before prices jump
- •Cyclone season isn't over - check weather forecasts religiously
- •Snorkeling visibility can be poor after heavy rains
All Months
May through October gives you the sweet spot — dry season with trade winds keeping things comfortable. July and August see the most crowds and highest prices, but also the most reliable weather. The wet season from November to April brings humidity, occasional cyclones, and afternoon downpours that can last for days. But here's the upside: hotel rates drop by 30-40% and you'll have beaches mostly to yourself. September hits that perfect balance of good weather and slightly lower crowds. Just avoid March entirely — it's cyclone season and many tour operators shut down. Water temperature stays around 80°F year-round, so swimming is always perfect.
