****I don’t necessarily agree with Ms. Hone’s list.
- We typically suggest that our clients not go to Bali in December- March because it’s the peak wet season.
- We personally feel that May is the best month to honeymoon in Hawaii but a huge number of our honeymooners travel to Hawaii in July and August and we will typically travel to Hawaii in later October, November or even early December.
- We feel that the best season for the Tahitian Islands (French Polynesia) and Fiji are April-later October since it can be rainier in the winter months.
