March on Maui brings that sweet spot between winter and spring, with longer days, bright mornings, and a little more breathing room after the busy season. Whale season is still going strong too, so keep your eyes on the horizon anytime you are near the water.

Maui’s visitor industry continued to show real recovery in 2025, with total arrivals for the year of 2025 up 7% to more than 2.5 million, outpacing statewide growth according to statistics released by the state Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism. Canadian travel has been softer, but the same report notes improving sentiment and fewer cancellations, which is a hopeful sign looking ahead!

At the same time, a new UHERO report is a good reminder of what many local families already feel day to day. When adjusted for Hawaiʻi’s high local prices, long term wage, productivity, and income growth have lagged the rest of the country for decades, which is why supporting local businesses matters so much.

Let’s dive into this month’s Maui tips, updates, and places to stay!

Safe Travels,
