Whether you’re visiting from another part of the island or from across the globe, we warmly welcome you! Before you arrive to explore the magical paradise that Maui has to offer, here are a few important tips to keep in mind.
5 Essential Tips for Your Visit:
1) Respect Local Culture: In Hawai’i, respecting the Hawaiian people and their heritage—both past and present—is paramount. As you explore, take the time to appreciate the deep connection locals have with the land and sea. Travel thoughtfully and honor our culture and traditions.
2) Understanding Maui’s Weather: Maui is blessed with sunny and warm weather year-round, offering seasonal variations that are perfect for various activities. In the winter, expect spectacular big-wave surfing on the North Shore, with waves reaching 40-50 feet. Summer brings calmer seas, ideal for paddleboarding and snorkeling, and is also the prime time to enjoy fresh mangos, lychee, and guava.
3) Know Your Ocean Ability: Whether you’re snorkeling, learning to surf, or trying stand-up paddleboarding, consider taking a lesson first. Make sure you are fit for the activities you plan to undertake and always consult local lifeguards about the conditions and the best spots for your skill level.
4) Leave Your Valuables at Home: To reduce the risk of theft, it’s wise to leave your valuables at home, especially when heading to the beach or leaving items in your car. A useful tip is to make your rental car less noticeable by adding a couple of surf stickers.
5) Beach Etiquette: Show respect and patience by keeping a reasonable distance from others on the beach. Always remove your trash and consider picking up any litter you might see. Avoid swimming near local fishermen’s lines and do not trespass on private properties to access beaches.
