Best Time of Year To Go To Bora Bora

While Bora Bora has a warm climate all year round, there is a variety of different seasons that may impact your choice of when to go.

May- October

This six-month period is the peak season and sees a lot of holiday-goers traveling to Bora Bora. European travelers are particularly fond of August. Temperatures in this season range from the upper 60s to the mid-80s. The climate is usually dry. Because it is peak season, hotel and accommodation prices are quite high. Keep in mind, Bora Bora is never really crowded since there are only so many hotel rooms and overwater bungalows.

November

Following the peak season, this is a suitable time for a trip to Bora Bora. Temperatures during this period range from the low 70s to the mid-80s and the accommodations are at an average price.

December-March

The climate can be quite irregular during this period. You never know what to expect. Sometimes, rain, and mosquitoes, of course, will characterize your day, while on other days, the sun will be bright and the sky clear. This characteristic keeps crowds away during this season. You might also consider this period if you are looking for a bargain. Temperatures are also comfortable, ranging between the mid-70s and mid-80s.

April

If you are big on snorkeling and scuba diving, then this is a great month to vacation in Bora Bora. The great weather during this month increases visibility in the water. The temperatures are between the lower 70s and upper 80s. Since it is right before the peak season, crowd numbers are low.

What people say about us

We worked with Mike to plan our perfect honeymoon in Greece — he was amazing the whole way through and put together a trip we will cherish for our lifetime.

He was thoughtful with our suggestions, and provided some of his own without every pushing us. He stayed within our budgetary means but made it feel like we had a budget twice the size.

Dan and Michelle were such a joy to work with! They really made our trip and cruise successful. Based on our needs they were able to help us identify and schedule what side trips and activities would best suit our interests.

After this trip I will be using a travel agent for future vacations…just can’t wait for the next one they help us plan!

Honeymoon Always has been fantastic- our trips were 1000% better because of their help. The first time we used them we wanted to have a fun trip with some cultural experiences, good food, not too packed, and for a good price. It was fantastic and now we've used them for several trips in Europe, Central America, and the Caribbean. Each trip was so different but they were able to make each one special and unique to our needs.
