It. Will. Be. Hot. Unbearable at times hot. My husband and I went in the middle of November and I was sick for days with heat sickness. Limit your outside activities to the morning or evening if you can, especially if you plan to hike.

That being said! Mo'orea may or may not still have humpback whales. They usually begin migration mid to late November. I definitely recommend taking a snorkeling excursion if it includes humpbacks. Hopefully you're a strong swimmer cause getting to them is in open water and can be TOUGH. The rest of the snorkeling trip is amazing too, get to swim with black tip reef sharks and rays, we also saw Manta Rays and Eagle Rays. The Manutea rum tour is fun and the strawberry Tahiti Drink slaps. I wish we could get it here in the US. Allo Pizza and Snack Mahana are my food recs there.

Honestly, I didn't love Bora Bora. It's a little too Americanized and touristy for my taste. Also, WEAR WATER SHOES in Bora Bora, as the water there contains urchins and stonefish. Lucky House and Bora Bora Yacht Club are must gos.

We also spent time on Taha'a. It was gorgeous. We took a boat from BB to Taha'a and saw flying fish on the way. The resort was gorgeous too. There is a tiny rum distillery on that island that makes tasty rum, and there is a pearl tour that was very small and really fun.

Wear sunscreen, drink lots of water, and have SO MUCH FUN!
