Vaitape in February
Not the best time
February offers a slight improvement over January but still plenty of rain to contend with. It's the shoulder of wet season, so you might catch some decent weather windows between storms.
Weather
February continues the rainy season but with slightly less intensity than January. You'll still get frequent tropical downpours, but they tend to be shorter and more predictable in the afternoon. Humidity remains high at around 80-85%.

February Tips
- •Take advantage of lower hotel rates - some resorts offer 30-40% discounts during rainy season
- •Morning activities work better as afternoon storms are more common
- •Bring mosquito repellent as standing water increases bug activity
All Months
April through October gives you the best weather, but here's what the brochures won't tell you: even the 'dry' season gets 10 inches of rain monthly. November through March brings cyclone season and humidity that makes you question life choices. But those months also bring 30% lower hotel rates and fewer crowds. The sweet spot? May and September. You get warm lagoon temperatures, minimal rain, and trade winds that keep the bugs away. Avoid July and August unless you enjoy sharing paradise with every honeymooner in the Northern Hemisphere. Water temperature stays around 80°F year-round, so that's never a concern. Just know that 'partly cloudy' in Bora Bora means dramatic cloud formations that actually make the photos better.
