If you’re dreaming of swaying palm trees and crystal clear waters, look no further than a tropical vacation to Maui. This laid-back Hawaiian island is truly a beach lover’s dream. And even though it’s January, Maui is a great escape from the harsh winter weather.
The best beaches can be found along the western coast. Kihei, Lahaina, and Kaanapali are typically very sunny during this time of the year. That means you can spend the day working on your tan and frolicking in the ocean waves.
January is also the best time to see humpback whales. It’s estimated that over 10,000 whales migrate to Maui from Alaska each year during this time. You can take a guided boat tour or spot them from land at either Papawai Point or at the top of Pu‘u Ola‘i.
If you’re planning a vacation for the New Year, there’s no better time to travel than January. Whether you’re hiking the lush volcanoes in Guatemala or snorkeling off the sandy shores in Tonga, you should have no problem finding the right adventure for your trip.
So, make it your goal to travel more in 2020! Which part of the world would you like to explore this year?
