Any time of year is awesome on the island, but Spring 2024 has some unique qualities. Spring is considered Maui's low season,  April through mid-June. April and May are the quietest months, with the island being less crowded. With more space at the beach, a little less traffic and blooming flowers and trees, there typically seems to be a bit of light-heartedness in the air!

Even though we live here, we are amazed by Maui's beauty every day. Seeing the sun rise reflected on sculpted volcanic slopes. Watching boats head out on calm seas to nearby islands, snorkeling and dive sites.

Maalaea, Maui is small oceanfront village with a slow, easygoing feel. Yet, this gem is often overlooked as a tourist destination. Centrally located between Maui's sunny south and west shores, Maalaea condos are on the ocean within walking distance to the island's longest beach. Shops and restaurants anchor one end of Ma'alaea small boat harbor.

Before you jet off to Maui in the New Year, learn about creative ways to offset the carbon impact of your trip, immerse yourself in local culture, fall in love with the island and give back to the people, Aina (land) and Kai (sea) that make Maui one of the most amazing places to vacation in the world.

If escaping a cold climate for a winter vacation on Maui is on your mind, you won’t miss out on the spirit of the holidays while on the island. We might deck the halls a bit differently- like twinkling lights up towering palm trees or tropical red anthuriums artfully interspersed among lush green foliage, with a few traditional ornaments.

We look forward to "whale season" every year, the winter months when humpback whales migrate thousands of miles from summer feeding grounds in polar regions to winter breeding grounds in warmer waters closer to the equator, including Maui.

When disaster strikes on Maui, the community responds. This happened even before any “official” relief efforts were on site after the recent fires. The caring spirit of residents for each other, the land and sea, known in Hawaiian as Malama, is a positive force. As a visitor, you may want to join in, and make your visit to Maui not only unique, but also meaningful. Here are a few ways to get involved volunteering on an upcoming visit.

Aloha and welcome to Maui! Fewer people on the island this fall mean roads are less crowded too- a great time to take a few road trips!
