Warm, sunny days are commonplace, though, and it’s almost always 80ish degrees. Maui’s large size and rugged topography make the weather here a little bit more unpredictable than most places. The Valley Isle is also renowned for its romantic atmosphere, and the weather definitely helps contribute to that reputation. The traditional Hawaiian activities of surfing, snorkeling, and diving are also readily accessible and often complimented by windsurfing, parasailing, or scuba diving for the more adventurous travelers. There’s also Haleakala National Park on the island if you’ve ever wanted to hike across a dormant volcano. The island is also a premier whale-watching destination, with Humpback Whales wintering off the coast annually.
