Maui: Whale & Winter Magic

Witness the Humpback breach and palms wrapped in Christmas lights.

🐋 Humpback Season

December is the peak arrival month for Humpback whales. Book a catamaran from Ma'alaea for the best viewing.

🌋 Haleakalā Sunrises

Start your holiday at 10,000 feet. The winter clouds at the summit create the most dramatic sunrises on Earth.

🏄‍♂️ Winter Swell

Head to the North Shore (Ho'okipa) to watch world-class surfers tackle massive winter waves—a holiday thrill!

Whale Watching Tip: If you're on a budget, the McGregor Point Lookout offers free shore-based whale watching during December.
Haleakalā Reservations: Vehicle passes for sunrise are released 60 days in advance and sell out in minutes. Set an alarm!
Road to Hana: Winter rains make the waterfalls spectacular, but the roads slippery. Start your drive by 7:00 AM to avoid the holiday traffic.
