If you're going to Maui in July, you'll find plenty to delight in and enjoy. While it's peak summer tourism, the hot, dry weather is perfect for beach days and outdoor adventures. Plus, you'll find a variety of enjoyable festivities and events that only happen this month.
Here's everything you need to know if you're staying with VacaMaui this July!
Weather
The weather in July hovers in the mid-80s. It may get a bit hotter or cooler depending on where you are on the island, but the temperate weather is ideal for exploration. Rain is rare; you won't have to worry about it impeding your tan.
Plus, the summer days are longer, with the sun rising before six and setting after 7, giving you more time to enjoy the tropical paradise.
July Activities
Check out the best activities to enjoy in Maui during July, including the special events to mark July 4th for those of you lucky enough to be on island then.
Makawao Rodeo
Celebrate the 4th of July cowboy style! The Makawao Rodeo is an annual tradition that truly captures the spirit of the paniolos (Hawaiian cowboys). July 4-6, head to this quaint town and watch bull riding, steer roping, barrel racing, and sheep riding.
The largest paniolo competition in the state, this is not an event you'd want to miss! For more information about the July 4th weekend events, head to their official website here.
Wailea Fireworks Show
For a stunning display of color and light on July 4th, head to the Grand Wailea for an 8pm fireworks show.
Lasting 15 minutes, this professional fireworks show is fabulous. You'll want to head down early to get a comfy spot on the beach!
Enjoy a Sunset Cruise
Getting out on the water is an absolute must while on a trip to Maui, and what better way to do that than with a delightful sunset cruise? Settle into your catamaran, sip yummy cocktails, get serenaded by a live ukulele player, and see the sunset hues behind the West Maui mountains.
It's truly a wonderful experience, perfect for a step back to take in the stunning beauty of Maui.
While you're planning for your trip, you might be wondering what you should pack. It won't differ much from what you would take at any other time of year.
July is a hotter time of year, so pack plenty of light, airy clothes. Flip flops (known as "slippers") on the islands will be your best friend as you beach hop. Don't forget a warm pair of clothes for the summit of Haleakala and buy reef-safe sunscreen once you arrive.
Oh! And a camera. You'll definitely want one of those!
Maui in July is a wonderful experience. The long days are perfect for exploration and enjoying the stunning beauty of the island, and the weather is sunny and perfect. Plus, the July 4th activities are so fun!
