Are you considering what to do on Maui in April?
One of Maui’s best-kept vacation secrets is spring. While winter months are the busiest (and most expensive) on the island, spring ushers in Maui’s “shoulder season.” This translates to cheaper airfares, rental cars, camper rentals, hotel rooms, as well as the pleasure of arranging sightseeing trips that are just half full. If you’re wondering about what to do on Maui in April, you’ll be glad to know that there are lots of amazing things you can do on the island.
What to do on Maui in April
Check out this list of what to do on Maui in April to get started.
Whale-watching season
The whale season on Maui comes to an end in April. Whales can still be observed in Maui waters, but in much smaller numbers than during peak season. The majority of tour companies only guarantee whale sightings until April 15th. After that, shore-based whale viewing places such as the Pali Overlook or the Wailea Beach Marriott Resort Ocean Path are your best bets. This means you can still get the chance to watch some whales in April if you’re an early bird. Whale watching is one of the best things to do on Maui in April.
Celebration of the Arts
This wonderful annual event in Kapalua provides an opportunity for locals and visitors to experience authentic Hawaiian culture. You’ll get the chance to experience hula and chant demonstrations, hands-on workshops in Hawaiian arts, and genuine one-on-one interaction with local cultural leaders and artists for those interested in delving deeper into Hawaiian ways. If you love arts and culture, April can be the perfect time to explore Mau’s art heritage.
Experience Camping on Maui
April is one of the best months for camping on Maui. The island isn’t overcrowded in April, almost everything you have to pay for is less expensive and you can have as much fun as you want. The best part is that you can easily get the best vehicle you need for the most amazing camping experience on Maui. Zazu Jeep rentals feature Tepui Rooftop Tents that can sleep 3-4 people. These are the toughest rooftop tents on the market, and hold up in all of Maui’s varying climates. Camping is one of the best things to do on Maui in April.
Lahaina Banyan Tree Birthday Celebration
The renowned Banyan Tree in Lahaina celebrates its birth in April! Every year, Maui locals and visitors gather under its shade boughs to commemorate this historic tree. The tree, which was planted in 1873 and stands more than sixty feet tall today, was eight feet tall when it was planted and is now a truly amazing sight. The tree has dozens of gigantic trunks stretched over about an acre of land under a canopy of green leaves! The festivities, which take place every year on the third weekend in April, feature a birthday cake, live music, Maui arts and crafts, and more.
Easter On Maui
There are plenty of fantastic Maui restaurants that serve a delicious Easter Sunday brunch. Check with the concierge staff to see whether your resort offers a brunch/Easter egg hunt combo. If your kids are itching to see the Easter Bunny, take them to Kahului’s Queen Ka’ahumanu Center. Both Kula Country Farms and Lahaina Animal Farm usually have annual Easter egg hunts.
