What You Should Know About Maui in February

☀️ Sunrise 7am / Sunset: 6:30pm

🌊 Waves + weather

When we went in February we had the most gorgeous weather imaginable—sunny and 72°F everyday!

The days were perfect for hiking, exploring, and hitting the beach. The nights were perfect for beachside strolls and dining. You may want to bring a light cardigan to layer on at night, but most nights, I just went out in a sundress and was completely comfortable the entire time.

Ocean temperatures average 75°F in February.

In the winter, strong winds are common.

The windward (north shore) side of the island gets hit with large swells in the winter—can be very unsafe for swimming and snorkeling on this side of the island at this time of year. Best left to expert surfers.

But the good news is the waters on the leeward side (from South Maui to West Maui in Kāʻanapali) will be calm, and trust me—they’ll be calling your name 😎

From the mountains to the sea, beautiful beaches and island explorations, build your perfect 12 day Maui itinerary (for February)

Covering three days (each) in four different regions—South Maui, Upcountry, Windward Maui, and West Maui—this itinerary will take you on an adventure of a lifetime from beachside, up into the mountains, through the jungle, and along rugged, exposed seaside cliffs.

This itinerary covers upwards of nine different beaches; several snorkeling excursions; traditional Hawaiian vacation staples like getting lei’d at a luau and sunset beachside dining; hikes ranging from the coast to the jungle to volcanic craters; whale watching; three scenic drives; food truck parks and coffee shops; and so much more

Memories of walking under the Banyan Tree

The iconic Lāhainā Banyan tree (planted in 1873)—which was badly damaged in the wildfire—is showing signs of new growth and recovery, thanks to a team of arborists working to save the 150 year old tree!

Lāhainā—the ancestral home of Hawaiian royalty

Lāhainā—the ancestral home of Hawaiian royalty—was just pure Maui magic to me. A place of history and contradiction and juxtaposition and whimsy.

A place where the old, the ancient, and the sacred mixed and intermingled with the new, the retro, the throwback and charm of the plantation era heyday.

And then it was gone.

So, here’s to Lāhainā Town, to all the roosters and all its residents, to the Feast of Lele luau, to Front Street and Fleetwood’s, Down the Hatch, and the Pioneer Inn. To the grand green expanse of the Bayan Tree and the warm breezes off Lāhainā harbor.

To remembering and rebuilding.

May we walk your streets once again.
