Sometimes it may be worth it to fly into California first. You may want to first check prices from your home airport directly to Maui, and then compare those with the flight prices to SFO/LAX and then onto Maui from there. Look out for those $200 round trip tickets from the west coast (they go fast so snag them up as soon as you see them)! And now that Southwest has routes from California to Hawaii, flight prices have gotten even more competitive.A great list of budget airlines can be found here. Always check budget airlines that may not be listed, especially if you are coming from other areas in the states with short flight times (think LAX and SFO).The option to watch prices and get email notifications are top notch and one of my favorite features of the two. I swear by Skyscanner and Google Flights, and always always always use these two sites when looking for airfare.I normally find flights from the West Coast to Hawaii for approximately $450, although I’ve seen them offered as low as in the $300’s roundtrip. Make sure to look out the window upon descent - the turquoise waters will blow you away before you even touch land.įlights from SFO (San Francisco) to Maui are roughly 5 hours, 20 minutes, with the flight from LAX (Los Angeles) being slightly longer at 5 hours, 40 minutes. When you fly into Maui, you’ll be heading into Kahululi Airport (code OGG). Maui’s by far our favorite island, just trust me on that! Unless you’re coming straight from the West Coast, most flights will have a layover in Honolulu (on Oahu), but don’t let that deter you. So here’s the thing: getting to Maui can be pretty expensive. Hoping to catch a glimpse of those majestic humpback whales migrating down the Pacific from Alaska? From January – March, Maui is the best spot in the states to observe this migration. You’ll likely be able to find deals on accommodation, as well as experience less crowds.
Looking to save a bit of money (aren’t we all)?! Visit Maui in either the spring (late March – May) or fall (September – early November).

And plus – that’s prime time for rainbow spotting! Thinking of visiting then? Don’t fret – rain showers are short, usually only lasting for a few minutes, and then bringing back the clear skies and sunshine. If you’re looking for dry weather, avoid visiting between November through March, as this is when Maui receives the majority of it’s rain. The warm tropical climate is consistent year round, and you’ll find daytime highs in the mid-80s in the summer, and daytime highs in the mid-70s during the “winter” months. Thankfully, there’s not really a bad time to visit Maui, as the weather is pretty much fantastic no matter the month.

🙂 We’ve recently spent a few days in Kauai, and I’m still telling everyone how I celebrated my 30th birthday by jumping out of a plane and eating everything in sight in Oahu. And with over 275 sunny days a year, Maui’s weather is truly hard to beat (okay, maybe it rivals that of Orange County or San Diego, but who’s counting)?Īnd thankfully, now that we live on the West Coast, Hawaii is like our new Caribbean, and we aim to visit at least once a year.
