Best Time to Go

Maui vacations are excellent anytime of the year. Temperatures range from the mid 70s to the high 80s throughout the year. Spring and winter seasons are excellent times to visit Maui to enjoy the gorgeous beaches and sunny weather. Winter temperatures are usually in the mid to high 70s. However, if you want to avoid big crowds and expensive Maui travel packages, and then plan your trip after the Christmas and New Year’s holiday season. Those that want to take advantage of great vacation rates to Maui should make their travel arrangements in the fall or spring.

Popular Maui experiences

Iao Valley State Park

Once the scene of an epic and bloody battle for control of Maui in 1790, Iao Valley is now the epitome of serenity. With lush rainforests and majestic valleys, the park is home to the Iao Needle, a 1200-foot rocky outcrop that's perfect for hiking on your Maui vacation.

Lahaina

Sun and mai tais aren't the only things you can indulge in on your Maui travels; there's also plenty of culture and history on hand. The historic town of Lahaina was once a whaling village, and its main street, Front Street, has been named one of the "Top 10 Greatest Streets" in the country.

Makena Beach

One of the least-developed beaches in Maui, Makena offers the kind of romantic idyll travel brochures trade in. Some surf tunes on your playlist and fresh pineapple to munch on will leave you blissed out and mellow -- your only concern will be when to flip over to get an even tan.

Pipiwai Trail

If you're looking to take in the spectacular Waimoku Falls, the best way to get there is via the stunning Pipiwai Trail, a fairly easy four-mile loop though lush rainforest and groves of bamboo that climaxes at the falls themselves. A must-see for nature-lovers on a Maui vacation.

Upcountry Maui

Hawaii cowboy meets New-Age guru in the rustic and spring-fresh Upcountry. Discover delicious farm-to-table eateries, go windsurfing in Paia or spend an afternoon in Haleakala National Park. Wax lyrical in your Maui travel diary after exploring the charming, tiny town of Makawao.
