Winter Time in Maui

It is now February and we are enjoying a beautiful winter. I talk to travelers from the cold country and they mention how we don’t have the four seasons. That may be, but we do have a change from winter to summer. This time of year the winds blow sometimes from the north bringing cold winds. You might even put on a sweater or dress a little warmer at night.
Winter this time of year you have the sugar cane flowering. This to me is also a sign of winter. Recently my daughter Meili and my wife went on an 8 mile hike into Olinda forest. Tempatures were cool and feeling very much like the mountains, being at 2700 elevation. This is a fun thing to do with the family. In the forest you will experience different vegetation, plant growth, and native trees, like Sandalwood and Koa trees.

Another sign of winter is when the southerly winds blow. This affects the weather in Wailea with rain, and the north shore with great conditions for surf. In the winter you might want to head out to the north shore and check the surf. This is my home; I surf and windsurf on Maui’s north shore.

You always see people coming to watch the kite boarder and surfers just ripping it up. Paia Town is worth a visit. You have Mana’ Fish House, an island favorite. I bet you have not been to Flatbread for organic open fire baked Kalua Pig pizza. This is a fun place for the family. Another favorite is the Fish Market, a favorite of world travelers. Here you will dine next to people from all over the world. I have been invited to France from a French doctor/kiteboarder while dining. You even get a few Celbs cruising through.

So winter time on Maui is a great choice for an island get away. Wailea beaches have been amazingly beautiful; I see a lot of really tan and happy Maui travelers. So stay warm and see you again on Maui.
