The best time to visit Mauke is during the drier months, from April to November. This period generally offers pleasant weather for exploring the island.
During these months, you'll experience less rainfall and comfortable temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor activities like exploring the caves, swimming in the freshwater pools, and relaxing on the beaches. The sunnier days are superb for enjoying the island's natural beauty.
For those planning to attend local cultural events, particularly the harvest festival known as "Te Maire Nui" (though dates can vary), visiting in late spring to early autumn often coincides with these celebrations.
