Best Things to Do, What to Pack & Tours to Book Early
Maui in spring is the perfect mix of tropical weather, vibrant scenery, and fewer crowds than peak winter months. From waterfalls to sea turtles, spring is a great time to explore the island’s natural beauty while enjoying milder conditions and better availability for tours and activities.
Whether it’s your first visit or your fifth, here’s your guide to making the most of Maui in the spring — including what to do, what to pack, and which tours you’ll want to book in advance.
Why Visit Maui in Spring?
• Ideal Weather: Highs in the upper 70s to low 80s°F and less humidity make for perfect beach and hiking days.
• Whale Watching Season: You can still catch humpback whales through early April!
• Lush Landscapes: Spring rains mean blooming tropical flowers and flowing waterfalls, especially on the Road to Hana.
• Smaller Crowds: Late spring (after Easter) offers great deals and a more relaxed vibe.
