Averaged from the last five years of November readings — a guide to what to expect, not a forecast for a particular sailing.
Bora Bora's volcanic peak, Mount Otemanu, rises over a lagoon ringed by a barrier reef that keeps the water calm, shallow, and bright turquoise. Small-ship lines like Paul Gauguin and Windstar usually overnight here instead of making a single day call. That extra time is what makes room for snorkeling, an overwater-bungalow day pass, and a sunset sail, which the big Caribbean ships rarely have time for.
Bora Bora in November is warm and sunny, with average highs around 85°F and lows that rarely dip below 74°F. Expect around 9 rainy days, typically brief afternoon showers rather than all-day rain. Morning excursions are usually the safest bet. Wet season returns
Crowds are moderate in November, making it a good balance between availability and weather. Pack reef-safe SPF 50+ sunscreen, a hat, and breathable fabrics. The sun at 85°F is intense, especially near the water.
