When Is the Best Time To Visit Wallis and Futuna?
The answer to the question of what is the best month to visit Wallis and Futuna depends on what you are interested in doing during your stay. Here you can see an overview of each month and its typical weather conditions.
Tourist Season in Wallis and Futuna
The islands of Wallis and Futuna are best visited during the months of the dry season from May to October, although rainfall is not avoided, as it occurs all year round, but during this period it is not so intense and frequent. The rains, which most often occur in the late afternoons and evenings, do not significantly hinder your rest. This is a very good time for beachcombing, snorkeling, enjoying the charms of the sea and organizing treks and hikes.
During the rainy months from November to April, there are also sunny and bright days, however, the increased rains can be a bit of a nuisance.
