we went last year - last week in july- no wind and the first week of august - great wind. we went with 2 under 5s- first week to a resort which the kids loved and 2nd week to nananu -i- ra which they also loved- no swimming pool or kids club but wild beaches and mangroves to explore- crabs to chase etc- it was the best family holiday we have had and we got the most time out on the water we have had since the kids came on the scene.
