Fall on Maui Is a Special Time of Year

The roads are easier to navigate, the beaches aren’t as packed, and there isn’t a long wait to get into some of the attractions you’ve been eyeing. This slower vibe gives you the opportunity to explore the island without feeling rushed.

Maui Weather in the Fall
Fall temperatures on Maui are gorgeous. September, October, and November bring warm, balmy days with average daytime highs in the low to mid-80s. The evenings are comfortably coolers with temps in the 60s and 70s. Occasional rain showers may come along in the fall, but that’s part of the island’s charm. It’s so pretty after a rain shower. The foliage seems a bit greener and the rainbows shine brighter. The water temperatures are also perfect in fall. It’s still warm enough for swimming, snorkeling, or just lying on the sand and working on your fall tan.
Festivals and Seasonal Events
When visiting Maui in the fall, be sure to check out the Festivals of Aloha which starts in September. It’s a festival that celebrates the beautiful culture and heritage of Hawaii through parades, concerts, hula competitions, arts, and of course, food! Immerse yourself in the community and traditions of Maui this fall and experience the true meaning of aloha.
If you would like the experience of picking pumpkins during your Maui fall getaway, then head to the upcountry at Kula Farms Pumpkin Patch in October. Enjoy the season Hawaiian style as you wander through fields of pumpkins with beautiful island views. Find your perfect pumpkin and enjoy farm fresh treats unique to the season.
And if you’re in the mood to watch a little wildlife, November is the start of whale-watching season. During the fall, you might be able to spot any humpback whales who may have started their migration early! It’s always an exciting time of year when the whales make their way to Maui, so don’t miss it.
Outdoor Adventures
If you’re seeking some great opportunities to be in nature, fall on Maui is the perfect time of year to explore. With slightly cooler weather and slightly lower humidity, hiking trails become even more enjoyable. Take on the Kapalua Coastal Trail or the Iao Needle Lookout Trail without being baked in the sun.
Taking a drive on the Road to Hana will be less congested this time of year, so you can explore with ease. Stop at the many waterfalls, beaches, gardens and restaurants along the way. Be sure to grab a box of malasadas for the trip. You’ll be so glad you did.
