When is the best time to visit Bora Bora
14.12.2023 - 15:12 / lonelyplanet.com / Bora Bora
With its turquoise lagoon, blonde beaches and lush mountain backdrop, Bora Bora is the epitome of a tropical paradise. Typically pictured with clear blue, sunny skies or fiery sunsets, this is the luxury island escape that many travelers dream of – and thanks to year-round warm temperatures, there's no such thing as a bad time to visit.
From snorkeling alongside rays and reef sharks to hikes around ancient ceremonial sites, spending time in Bora Bora is truly a balm to the soul. However, the photos of cloudless blue skies that you see on social media don't paint the full picture – this is the South Pacific and the island has a tropical rainy season from December to March.
But don't let a little rain put you off – visiting during the rainy season has its advantages too! Here's what you need to know about the best times to visit Bora Bora.
As Bora Bora's dry season comes to an end, the days start to get cloudier and there's an increased chance of rain. The temperatures creep up a little higher and the humidity kicks in. This change in the weather marks the low season for tourism, but this can be advantageous to travelers who have a limited budget and don't mind some clouds in the sky. Cyclones (hurricanes) are rare but they can blow through at this time of year.
During the rainy season, many of the island’s top resorts drop their rates as demand falls. This makes a plush stay at an overwater bungalow resort, such as the luxurious Four Seasons Bora Bora, much more affordable. Another advantage to the low season is the lack of crowds; most visitors crave those iconic blue skies and you can end up with an entire beach to yourself when the weather is more unpredictable.
December is the most humid month in Bora Bora but the cloudy skies don't put a dampener on Christmas. Enthusiastic celebrations happen across the island as locals throw themselves into the holiday spirit; tourists are made to feel very welcome at local events. Visitor numbers are at their lowest in January but if you've decided to snap up a hotel deal, make time to experience the Taurua Varua festival – one of the most important religious occasions in the islands that's celebrated with traditional singing.
February sees less rain than January, though this month has the highest chance of a cyclone. As French Polynesia lies off the main cyclone belt, these are quite rare but the chance is still there (the last major cyclone was in 2010). Humidity is high, which can be uncomfortable during the day, but it also brings some of the most incredible sunsets you’ll ever see. Again, tourism is slow during this month so prices tend to be lower at resorts.
As March rolls in, the rain decreases further, though you'll likely still experience daily showers and

The Best Condé Nast Traveler Stories of the Year
Working at a travel publication can be dizzying—in a year, we go so many places, write so many stories, and publish a lot of content. At times, it can feel like we've run out of world to cover: If you've been there, we've probably done that. But that's of course not the case, and certain stories are an especially powerful reminder of the many stones that remain unturned; that there are many ways to take a trip, either to a familiar place or somewhere markedly overlooked, and tell a completely new story about it.

5 of the best Indigenous winter adventures in Sweden's Sámi country
Traditionally nomadic, Sámi people have been herding reindeer across Sápmi (Lapland) for 7,000 years, long before the region was divided into Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. Reindeer are integral to the Sámi way of life, yet the Indigenous people’s lifestyle is under threat from climate change, mines and cultural appropriation. Sweden is home to 20,000 Sámi, a fifth of whom roam with their herd around Laponia — a UNESCO World Heritage Site that stretches across Sweden’s Artic North. The others keep their customs alive by continuing age-old traditions and sharing stories about their heritage. Here are some exciting ways to explore their culture.
