Vaitape in March
Not the best time
March shows the first real signs of improvement from the wet season. You'll still get rain, but it's more manageable and the sunny periods start to feel genuinely tropical again.
Weather
March marks the transition out of wet season, with rainfall starting to decrease but still frequent. The air begins to feel less oppressive as humidity drops slightly, and you'll get more sunny breaks between rain showers. Trade winds start picking up again.

March Tips
- •This is when weather starts improving - good time to book if you want fewer crowds
- •Lagoon activities become more reliable as rain patterns become less intense
- •Pack layers as temperature variations increase with changing weather patterns
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.
