Maui's Tourist Off‑Season: April Through September

When to Visit for Fewer Crowds & Lower Prices

Maui's low (off) season runs from April to September.

What to Expect

• Weather: Still warm—average highs 70–85°F (21–29°C). Slightly more rain on windward (north/east) slopes; leeward (Wailea, Kihei, Lahaina) stays dry.
• Crowds: Significantly thinner than winter (Dec–Mar) or summer (Jun–Aug) peaks.
• Prices: Hotels, flights, car rentals often 20–40% cheaper.
• Ocean: Calmer on south/west shores; north shore swells diminish after winter.

Trade‑offs

• Some seasonal tours (whale watching peaks Jan–Mar) limited.
• Hurricane season officially Jun–Nov, but direct hits rare.
• School holidays (Jun–Aug) bring a mini‑peak within the off‑season.

Sweet Spots

Late April–May and September–October often offer the best balance of weather, price, and availability.
