Moorea

Moorea is warm year-round, with a pronounced dry season from May through October and a wetter, more humid season from November through April. The dry months bring more consistent sunshine, lighter trade winds and generally clearer water for snorkeling and diving, while the wet season delivers brief tropical downpours, greener landscapes and calmer seas at times. High season coincides with the driest months and holiday periods, so expect higher rates and busier resorts and tours; booking in advance secures the best villas and charters. Traveling in shoulder months — late April or October — balances lower prices and fewer crowds with mostly favorable weather and good visibility. If avoiding rain is the priority, plan for the dry window; if lush scenery and quieter bays are more important, accept occasional showers in exchange for value and serenity. Regardless of season, pack lightweight rain protection and reef-safe sunscreen to make the most of Moorea’s outdoor attractions.
