Maui is widely known for its beautiful beaches, stunning sunsets, and incredible weather. It’s no wonder that so many flock here to experience the island’s wonder for themselves. If you’re planning a vacation and want to book your hotel room, you might be curious about the best time to visit. Here’s some information to keep in mind to make an informed choice.

Fall

The island life tends to be slower in the fall, with easier access to accommodations and smaller crowds. The holiday season gets busier, but booking around those dates is a safe bet if you want to avoid the masses while still experiencing the best of the island.

It’s also an excellent time of year to enjoy Maui’s festivals. The Maui County Fair held early in the season is an annual event that offers fun for the entire family, from carnival rides to live entertainment. If you’re a foodie, visit during Restaurant Week Wailea, when many of the area’s best restaurants offer curated pre-fixe menus.

Winter

The winter months between November and March are slightly cooler than average. Rain is also more common at this time of the year. Don’t be surprised if you encounter a storm or two that drives the waves into a frenzy. If you plan to visit in the winter, keep a windbreaker handy to ward off the chill.

You can also expect lighter crowds at this time of the year, except when you’re watching for humpback whales—this is when they migrate to the area to mate and give birth.

Spring

This time of year offers pleasant weather conditions, relatively light crowds, and reasonable hotel room costs. Closer to summer, you’ll notice it gets busier.

This time of year offers a variety of activities, from outdoor festivals to food markets. Make your way to the brilliant Jacaranda trees in upcountry Maui to see their transformation into flowering, vibrant purple beauties. If you’re visiting in April, explore Haleakalā National Park during National Park Week. You can enjoy free admission on select days.

Summer

Summer is officially tourist season in Maui. If you don’t mind the crowds and want to spend plenty of time soaking up the sunshine, this is a great time to visit.

If your visit coincides with June 11, you’ll be on Maui for Kamehameha Day. Designated in honor of King Kamehameha I, who was responsible for uniting the Hawaiian Islands, the holiday’s festivities include parades and entertainment.

Don’t leave your athletic gear in your hotel room if you have an active streak—make your way to the legendary Cycle to the Sun event that takes you over more than 36 miles and higher than 10,000 feet!
