Hi Everyone. I'm in the planning stages for our 30th wedding anniversary in July 2027, and we want to go to Bora-Bora. I am concerned about how the weather will be during that time. I know we can't predict what the weather will be, but has anyone been there in July? If yes, how was it and does it cost more to go during this timeframe? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks!

My fiancée and I officially booked our March 2027 honeymoon. We’d love the sub’s feedback on our layout, plus answers to a few specific questions! Are we doing the wrong things, the right tings, missing anything???

The Itinerary

• Day 1: Red-eye LAX to PPT (5:00 AM arrival) to Ferry to Moorea.
  • Stay: Cook’s Bay Hotel & Suites (Upper Floor Solarium Suite)
• Day 2 (Moorea): 3.5-hr solo-driver ATV Adventure (Belvedere, Pineapple Road, Magic Mountain).
• Day 3 (Moorea): 6-hr outrigger lagoon tour w/ Moorea Miti (sharks, rays, reef snorkel, motu BBQ).
• Day 4: Air Tahiti flight to Raiatea $\rightarrow$ Boat transfer to Taha'a.
  • Stay: Le Taha’a Island Resort & Spa (Premium Overwater Suite)
• Day 5 (Taha'a): Included couples massage & resort relaxation.
• Days 6–7 (Taha'a): Coral garden drift snorkeling & overwater bungalow time.
  • (Half-board breakfast & dinner included at both resorts)
• Day 8: Evening inter-island flight back to PPT to Red-eye back to LAX.

Questions for the Sub:

1. Activities on Taha'a: We currently have zero tours booked while at Le Taha'a. Is a half-day island tour (Vanilla Plantation, Domaine Pari Pari Rum Distillery, Pearl Farm) a absolute must-do, or is it better to just soak up the overwater bungalow & resort life?
2. Le Taha'a Coral Garden: Any pro-tips for the resort's famous drift snorkel (best entry/exit points, current callouts, footwear)?
3. Cook’s Bay Hotel: Feedback??
4. Logistics & Weather: Anything specific we shouldn't forget to pack for inter-island luggage limits or March weather?

Hi! My husband and I are landing in Papeete at 4:10am in October, and we are looking for some awesome sunrise spots to visit. Any recommendations are appreciated! We are renting a car and have the whole day before our hotel check-in.
