While people on the Mainland are enjoying leaves changing to fall colors and pumpkin spice, Maui is still enjoying warm, tropical weather. One of the two “shoulder seasons,” the fall months are in between the busy summer and winter seasons. Fall in Maui has a little more room since it’s less crowded—and less expensive—than the busier “tourist seasons.”
During Maui’s fall, temperatures remain in the 80’s, but stronger currents prevail on beaches. If you’re not a surfer, or you’re traveling with children, you’ll need to be very cautious when out on the water. October is the end of Maui’s “dry season,” when temperatures dip a little and the tradewinds begin to ease off. Even though the weather is generally mild, larger waves and winter storms begin arriving.
The temperature does start to drop at higher elevations. If you’re planning to make a Haleakala Sunrise (or Sunset), you’ll need to pack some warm gear. But having “winter storms” doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a Maui vacation like you can during the summer. There’s always something going on in Maui, and many ways to enjoy your stay.
Maui Fall Happenings
One of the best reasons to visit Maui in the fall is the Road to Hana. With fewer crowds, traveling here to Hana and around Maui is a little easier. Whether you drive yourself or take a guided tour, just take your time, and yield to locals who take the road to work or other daily activities.
Local produce and freshly baked banana bread are available right past mile marker 31. Visit the Hana Farms Local Marketplace for delicious local cuisine, pizzas, coffee, and more. It’s open daily from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm and offers Maui’s finest produce and other foods for your Hana Kai Maui kitchen.
The prime whale-watching season runs from December to the end of March when they are most active. But the younger scout males begin arriving in November.
Are you considering spending Thanksgiving in Maui? It’s not unheard of, but you’ll need to plan ahead to make sure you know where you’ll be having dinner or stock up your condo kitchen to make it yourself with Aloha.
