Moorea-Maiao in September
Great time to visit

Weather
September maintains the dry season's excellence while crowds thin out. Trade winds continue their reliable pattern, though they're slightly less intense than mid-winter months. Humidity creeps up just a touch but remains comfortable around 75%.

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.
