June marks the official start of summer on Maui—a vibrant and exciting time as families arrive, beaches buzz with activity, and the island radiates energy and life. 

As you plan your upcoming travels, it’s important to keep a few key updates in mind. As of May 7, all domestic travelers are now required to present a REAL ID or another TSA-approved identification at airport security checkpoints. Looking ahead, starting January 1, 2026, Hawaiʻi will implement a new “green fee” by increasing the Transient Accommodations Tax (TAT) from 10.25% to 11% to fund essential climate and environmental resilience projects. These small adjustments help protect the paradise we all love, supporting initiatives like wildfire prevention, coastline preservation, and sustainable tourism.

Looking to make your trip as smooth and budget-friendly as possible? Book your flights 45 to 75 days in advance and opt for midweek departures—especially Tuesdays—to secure the best prices and availability! Delaying your bookings could lead to higher costs and fewer options, so early planning is key. We look forward to welcoming you to Maui, where your summer adventures await!

Safe Travels,
