Kahului (OGG) Airport
The sooner the better! Please keep in mind people who travel to Hawaii plan 1-2 yrs in advance. Most places are reserved & have limited availability. We found the closer it gets to the date, the higher rates will be.
We recommend staying on the south side of Maui in Kihei or Wailea. This part of the island guarantees good weather, beaches, turtles and whales! **We live in Kihei near Kalama Park Below is a site with special group rates in our area. The rates can fluctuate and sell out at any time, so you should book sooner than later! https://zola.hotelplanner.com/EventPage6012715 Air Bnb also has great options! https://www.airbnb.com/s/Kihei--HI/homes
It is not necessary if you plan on going to the beach daily. There are beaches, restaurants & food markets walking distance from Kihei and Makena. We do however highly recommend renting a car for at least a couple days to see other parts of the island! https://turo.com/us/en/car-rental/united-states/kahului-hi Also, please note transportation is provided to/from the wedding location.
Average temperature for Kihei in March is High 84 / Low 62 Beach clothes / Swimsuits / Towels- nothing is too casual for Hawaii. Dress comfortable and light; it’s hot! Hats & Sunglasses- Hats that can take some wind & polarized sunglasses highly recommended. Light jacket - Nights can be breezy and chilly, especially with a sunburn! Hiking shoes or good sandals with straps - even short easy hikes or look outs can be slippery and steep. Sturdy, comfortable shoes are a must! Tennis shoes can be tough with getting in a out of wet areas or water. Sunblock - Please bring only reef safe sunblock and no aerosol spray to keep from harming our reef and fish. Highly recommend 50 SPF - Hawaiian sunburns are no joke! Cash - Most places accept debit/credit however, some local places and everywhere on the road to Hana is cash only so it’s nice to have some handy. Warm clothes - ONLY If you’re planning on visiting the Haleakalā summit bring winter clothes.
Dressy Casual- Please no tennis shoes, jeans, shorts or t-shirts. Sandals and flip-flops welcome! Men- Aloha shirts or polo Women- Sundress, romper or slacks and blouse There could be a breeze and you may want a light jacket after sunset if you tend to get cold or are sunburnt. Bring sunglasses.
