As the weather starts to cool in the United States and Canada many folks start thinking of a vacation or holiday in a warmer climate.
With year round weather in Hawaii averaging 75 degrees it is no wonder a Hawaiian vacation is most people’s first choice.
One of the benefits of booking your travel early is you get the best travel promotions.
It also allows you time to plan what you are going to see and do when you are in Hawaii.
As a Hawaii travel agent and resident of the island of Maui I like to promote events that may not be in any guide book or online website.
Listed here for your convenience are a few of my favorite events upcoming in Hawaii for 2011.
Starting in December the humpback whales start arriving from the cooler waters in Alaska. Whale watch tours are done on all of the islands, but I find that Maui has the calmest waters and best conditions for viewing whales.
In addition to our seasonal whale watching tours you can also enjoy a festive luau, a beautiful snorkel sail, romantic dinner cruises or just hop in your car and drive around the island checking out the local events.
