 Located on the western edge of Maui, Kihei is a popular destination for visitors who want to spend time on Maui without exhausting their savings. The town is bordered by beaches and South Kihei Road on one side, and the newer Piilani Highway on the other.
Kihei’s weather is ideal almost year round. Temperatures average between 75 and 85 degrees, and while other areas of Maui tend to have a rainy season from November to March, Kihei averages less than 12 inches per year.
Kihei’s largest draw is its fine beaches. In fact, the Kihei coast consists of one wide, sandy, sunny beach after another. Under the attentive watch of lifeguards, these beaches are also considered some of the safest areas in Hawaii.
Regular visitors to Kihei learn some of the town’s beaches are renowned for swimming, while others for scuba diving, body surfing, or board surfing. The water remains warm year round, often climbing to 80 degrees in the summer.
Nature lovers find plenty to treasure about Kihei as well. The national Wildlife Conservation District, Kealia Pond, sits at the north end of Kihei. Here, endangered waterbirds – Hawaiian stilts and coots – benefit from a protected natural salt-water marsh environment.
Visitors interested in learning more about nature and the Hawaiian Islands will have a field day at Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary, one of 13 national marine sanctuaries created under the U.S. Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act. The sanctuary's goal is to promote comprehensive and coordinated management, research, education and long-term monitoring for the endangered humpback whale and its habitat.
Whale watching opportunities are plentiful in Kihei as well. According to scientists at the National Marine Sanctuary, the best time of year for sightings is during the winter when nearly two-thirds of the entire North Pacific population of humpback whales migrates to Hawaii.

 Now Available - Vacation in Paradise! - Property 81601
- It's truly hard to pinpoint the greatest thing to do on Maui. We always recommend a trip to Haleakala (of course, you can see it from our lanai, but up-close-and-personal is even better), the winery, a day in Lahaina or Paia, or a visit to the Lao Needle.
- Our personal favorites include:
- Luau - Old Lahaina - authentic and beautiful.
- Snorkeling - Kanaio Coast from Blue Water Rafting. They take you to see a lava arch, dolphin, turtles, various fish – all sans crowds.
- For whale watching, there's nothing better than the Pacific Whale Foundation tours!
