5 Exciting Things to Do in Winter in Maui
Winter on Maui
Maui’s winter, from November to February, offers an enchanting escape. Enjoy daytime temperatures in the mid-70s to low 80s and comfortable mid-60s evenings. While some elevated areas may start cool in the morning, it usually warms up to the 70s during the day.
Maui in the winter does bring more occasional rain showers, so make sure to account for that in your plans. Bringing several layers of clothing, a compact rain jacket, and sturdy hiking boots is highly recommended. This will make your vacation more comfortable!
Whale Watching
The winter season is the best time for whale watching in Maui. Humpback whales visit the warm waters of Maui during this time, and many whale-watching tours are available, like Sunrise Whale Watch and Kayak Whale Watch. Additionally, visit the National Marine Sanctuary to learn more about these magnificent creatures!
