The climate in French Polynesia is tropical, warm and humid. There are hardly any seasonal fluctuations. The best time to visit is European spring, summer and autumn. The Tuamotu archipelago enjoys more sunshine than anywhere else in French Polynesia. Therefore, it is always a good time to travel there. The clarity of the water is at its best between October and May (ideal for diving), while the mildest weather can be enjoyed between June and September. Our top tip - try the low season (April - May and October - November) to enjoy the best combination of diving and sunshine. If whale watching is your main motivation, July to November is the best time to visit.
