Moorea in February
Not the best time
February is for rain lovers and budget travelers who don't mind getting drenched. Cheapest month but wettest too.
Weather
February doubles down on the wet season drama with the highest rainfall of the year. Cyclone season peaks now, though direct hits are rare. Humidity makes 29°C feel much hotter, and the air stays thick even after storms pass.

All Months
April through November gives you the sweet spot – less rain, fewer crowds, and slightly cooler temperatures. The trade winds keep things comfortable, and you'll see maybe three or four rainy days per month instead of the daily afternoon downpours that hit during summer.
July and August bring the most visitors and the highest prices. Hotels jack up rates by 30-40% during French vacation season, and good luck getting a dinner reservation at Bloody Mary's without booking weeks ahead.
March through May offers the best value. You'll catch the tail end of mango season, the water stays warm from summer, and hotel rates drop significantly. Just pack a light rain jacket – you'll get the occasional tropical shower, but they pass quickly and leave everything smelling like frangipani.
