Best Times to Visit Maui
The best time to visit Maui is between April and May and between September and November. Both seasons are pleasant on the island and you will find the lowest airfare and most agreeable room rates.

Families like to visit Maui in summer, which is also when the waters surrounding the island are the calmest.
