Moorea-Maiao in March
Not the best time
March sits in that awkward shoulder season where weather is unpredictable. Some days feel like paradise, others like a tropical storm waiting to happen.
Weather
March marks the tail end of wet season with rain patterns becoming less predictable. You might get three sunny days followed by two washouts. Trade winds start picking up again, bringing some relief from the oppressive humidity of earlier months.

March Tips
- •Perfect month for visiting Tiki Village - fewer crowds and rain doesn't stop cultural shows
- •Book reef tours for early morning when seas are calmest
- •Bring layers since temperature swings are bigger this month
All Months
April through November brings trade winds that keep temperatures bearable and rain to a minimum. July and August see crowds from French school holidays - book accommodation early or pay premium prices. The shoulder months of April, May, October, and November offer the sweet spot of good weather and reasonable crowds. December through March brings cyclone season and humidity that makes you question life choices. But here's the thing - even wet season has its charms. Waterfalls rage, vegetation explodes in impossible greens, and you might have entire islands to yourself. Just pack good rain gear and flexible plans.
