What to do on Maui in March?
Since you’re wondering what to do on Maui in March, we’ve made a list of the best things to do on the island during that period. This will give you an idea of what to expect.
Whale watching is a must!
The winter whale-watching season on Maui runs from December through March. For the winter months, humpback whales travel to Hawaii’s warm waters, and the official Maui whale-watching season runs from mid-December to mid-May, with January, February, and March being the busiest months for whale sightings.
Cruises to see whales are a fantastic way to see these majestic creatures. (It’s worth noting that, as the number of whales falls, most whale-watching expeditions end in April).
Best places to see whales from land:
- Papawai Point (West Maui)
- Olowalu Reef (West Maui)
- Pu’u Olai (South Maui)
- Honolua Bay (West Maui)
Whale watching is one of the best things to do on Maui in March.
Maui Marathon
The Annual Maui Marathon, a Boston Marathon qualifier, runs a 26.2-mile course across the island from Kahului to Kaanapali and is regarded as one of the top ten most scenic marathons in the United States. Even if you aren’t participating in the marathon that day, you may still join in the festivities by cheering on the runners along the course. Stay at one of the following hotels or resorts in Kaanapali!
Prince Kuhio Festival
Hawaii used to be ruled by a monarchy, and it still pays homage to its former great royalty. On March 26, Prince Kuhio Day, a State holiday honoring Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole, is commemorated (1871-1922). With Hawaiian music, hula, and locally manufactured arts and crafts, this yearly event in Lahaina commemorates Prince Kuhio. In the spring, this is one of Maui’s most popular activities.
