Continue reading for top tips about when to visit Maui and top island attractions so you can get the most out of your next Hawaii vacation.
Marvel Over Maui, Our Top-Pick Hawaiian Island
The island of Maui truly has something for everyone. Beautiful beaches, charming towns, national parks, top snorkel and surfing spots, and more, it’s the perfect blend between the state’s more metropolitan and isolated islands. Stay at select Maui resorts and you’ll be able to visit the world’s largest dormant volcano at Haleakala National Park, take in the attractions along the famed Road to Hana such as the Twin Falls and Ohe’o Gulch, and make a trip to the Tedeschi Winery before you leave! Plus, Maui’s Ho’okipa Beach is one of the most famous surfing and windsurfing spots in the world and a number of state parks, farms, and beaches offer incredible views of the island.
If you are interested in visiting multiple islands all during one trip, consider a Hawaii cruise vacation that will allow you to explore other islands such as Honolulu and Kauai!
April & May, The Best Time to Visit Maui
Many travelers escape to Maui when they are in need of a warm-weather retreat, making November and December a very popular time for tourism on the island. While Maui does provide warm weather during these months – minus a few showers as November through March is considered to be Maui’s ‘wet season’ – you may come across large crowds and higher prices. Summer months bring in similar crowds and prices from June to October due to vacation season and the island experiencing the warmest temperatures and least precipitation during this time of the year. With weather, crowds, and prices considered, the months of April and May are likely to provide the best opportunity to get the most out of the Maui vacation experience in every sense!
Insider Tip! Rainfall during the ‘wet season’ usually does not last long and occurs in brief downpours. When the sun does begin to shine again the scenery is once again gorgeous. November through January can very well be a good fit for those escaping snowy hometowns!
