Excellent weather, fewer crowds than July/August
Bora Bora in September offers pleasant temperatures, with highs around 83°F and comfortable lows near 72°F. Rain is uncommon, with only about 5 rainy days expected across the month, ideal for beach days and shore excursions. Excellent weather, fewer crowds than July/August.
This is one of the most popular months to visit Bora Bora, so book shore excursions early. The top snorkeling spots and tours sell out fast. Lightweight layers work well: a light cardigan for evenings on deck and breathable tops for port days cover most conditions.

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.
The average high temperature in Bora Bora during September is 83°F, with a low of 72°F.
Bora Bora typically sees 5 days of rain in September. Excellent weather, fewer crowds than July/August.
For a September cruise to Bora Bora, you should pack lightweight, breathable clothing, swimwear, and sun protection.
