Maui is very casual. You might even be able to pick up a few nice things while you are there. If going to Haleakala - it is always colder and windy. My DH and I took blankets from the condo we stayed in. You will need jackets in March if you go to higher elevations (Haleakala or Hana)</p> <p>Hats, sunscreen, boogie boards, flotation devices (you can rent snorkeling gear), sand toys for the kids you can buy there Downtown Lahaina has both a mall and outlet center.</p> <p>Enjoy your trip!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-maui-in-early-march-what-to-pack#post-1889994 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 17:26:08 +0000 Angie 1889994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've received great guidance here, and now it's time to pull the items together.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-maui-in-early-march-what-to-pack#post-1889989 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 17:23:39 +0000 Thistle 1889989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will say Hawaii is MUCH more casual than the mainland.<br />My husband wore a Hawaiian shirt and khaki swim trunks, and he was considered dressed well enough for anything we did, even nice restaurants.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-maui-in-early-march-what-to-pack#post-1889987 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 17:21:57 +0000 Thistle 1889987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went to Maui for my honeymoon in late March.<br />I would bring:<br />-2 swimsuits. One to wear, the other to lay out drying<br />-2 Sarongs - see above<br />-Flip flops or other water safe sandals. I wore my Tevas<br />-Lots of sunscreen<br />- Light cover up if you are in AC. We ate a lot outside on patios, so this was less of an issue, but the AC can be arctic.</p> <p>I am so excited for you!

So wise. As it will be cold and snowy here, I think jeans and a coat will be my flight outfit. I like the idea of white jeans and will shop, if time, for a really comfortable pair.

It was near freezing (literally... in the 30s) when I was up there in March last year. 70-80 elsewhere on the island. Worth it, but it took a while to thaw out after. </p> <p>That should be just about peak whale season... keep an eye out any time you can see the ocean!</p> <p>I hope you have a wonderful time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-maui-in-early-march-what-to-pack#post-1889721 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 23:27:23 +0000 Anonymous 1889721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pack me, please. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-maui-in-early-march-what-to-pack#post-1889712 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 23:19:13 +0000 Angie 1889712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is your pool and beach capsule sorted? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-maui-in-early-march-what-to-pack#post-1889680 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 20:54:30 +0000 Anonymous 1889680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your help.&nbsp; You mention things I had not thought of.&nbsp; I don't wear shorts any more and am not allowed to wear sandals or flip flops.&nbsp; I will need to get some water shoes.&nbsp; I do have plastic Croc flats and a pair of silver "jelly" flats and was thinking silver sneakers for shoes.&nbsp; I think we have washing facilities and towels.&nbsp; If not, I will buy them rather than pack any.&nbsp; I have two swim suits and cover-ups.&nbsp; </p> <p>We will probably go for a nice dinner but still fairly casual as it will be DS's b-day while we are there, but with little ones along it will not to too dressy.&nbsp; DH and I will probably babysit so DS and DDIL can go for dinner.&nbsp; I have 2 rashguards I'll take, and a sun hat.&nbsp;The toddler has red hair and the skin to go with it.&nbsp; Need toddler rash guards.&nbsp;Good idea to get sun block there.&nbsp; All the stuff locally is probably left over from last year.</p> <p>We will be meeting adventurous DS from Japan who will want us all to dive or snorkel.&nbsp; I need to remember binoculars and some warm things for the top of Haleakala at sunrise.&nbsp; Yes, now&nbsp;I remember it being very cold and people wrapped in hotel blankets.&nbsp;</p> <p>I need to look for better swim suit cover-ups.&nbsp; They both have black, white and aqua blue in the patterns.&nbsp; It will be the rainy season yet, although I read that most rain happens at night.&nbsp; Should be whales and big waves.&nbsp; DS will want to surf.&nbsp; </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-maui-in-early-march-what-to-pack#post-1889666 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 20:21:11 +0000 Lynn 1889666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like SarahD8's list. If you have laundry available you could probably scale back the casual bottoms, tops, and sundresses.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have found I prefer wearing a loose dress (kaftan) &nbsp;vs a pareo as a coverup but I burn very easily so like to be more covered up.&nbsp;</p> <p>I &nbsp;also pack a swim shirt (rash guard) for sun protection for snorkeling, boating etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>Have fun. I love Hawaii.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-maui-in-early-march-what-to-pack#post-1889662 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 20:10:04 +0000 Christina F. 1889662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I have a packing suggestion - bring me!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-maui-in-early-march-what-to-pack#post-1889657 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 20:02:43 +0000 Bonnie 1889657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like a fun trip. There could be rain and it gets cool at night so a cardigan is a good idea. Maui is very casual. There is plenty of shopping centers if you forget anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-maui-in-early-march-what-to-pack#post-1889655 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 19:59:05 +0000 Anonymous 1889655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If going carry-on only, may I suggest just buying sunblock there. Ask your air b&amp;b if they have beach towels; that would save a lot of space in your bag as towels are so bulky. If you plan to go up to the top of Haleakala volcano (recommended!) definitely bring a jacket and layers. It has an elevation of around 10,000 ft and can be quite chilly.<br /> And a small pair of binoculars! Whales may still be around in March and could be visible from shore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-maui-in-early-march-what-to-pack#post-1889639 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 19:02:57 +0000 SarahD8 1889639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, will you have laundry facilities available?</p> <p>I would say:<br />2 bathing suits<br />2 coverups/pareos<br />3 pairs casual bottoms<br />4 casual tops<br />3 cotton sundresses<br />1 pair flip flops<br />1 pair sandals that are walkable but presentable<br />1 pair tennies/sneakers<br />1 pair water shoes&nbsp;<br />A cardigan or soft jacket for chilly evenings<br />A wrap and some low-key but nice jewelry to pair with one (or more) of your sundresses and the sandals in case of dinners out.<br />A packable sun hat </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-maui-in-early-march-what-to-pack#post-1889637 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 18:53:03 +0000 Jenni NZ 1889637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And, sunblock, sandals, light floaty dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-maui-in-early-march-what-to-pack#post-1889634 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 18:47:53 +0000 Jenni NZ 1889634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's called a sarong or pareu or lavalava or wrap. I have a beach wrap that matches my swimsuit. I also have a kaftan ( Angie calls hers a cover-up) and what I call aqua socks, also known as beach shoes, for any rocks. Would you snorkel? I would. We did in Oahu, it was amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-maui-in-early-march-what-to-pack#post-1889591 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 17:11:25 +0000 Barbara Diane 1889591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to the flip flops. What’s it called-the material called that you can wrap into a skirt, a coverup, sit on, use as a tablecloth? One of those.<br /> Will you go out for a nice dinner? Accessories.<br /> Have a wonderful time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-maui-in-early-march-what-to-pack#post-1889588 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 17:04:53 +0000 Barbara Diane 1889588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d certainly bring more. It depends on your preferences and activities. Sightseeing? Taking kids to the park?<br /> I loved breathable sundresses with sandals and a light wrap, Do you care if you get wet in a brief rain shower?<br /> Sun hat. Toddler and baby mean more clothes-I remember sticky hands and other messes. Unless your swimsuit dries very quickly I’d pack 2. Same with cover-up. Swim shoes-I can’t think of what they are called but if you will be swimming on a rocky beach they are useful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-maui-in-early-march-what-to-pack#post-1889579 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 16:41:05 +0000 JAileen 1889579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Swimsuit, coverup, flip flops, sun hat. I think that’s it. You might want two suits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/need-help-maui-in-early-march-what-to-pack#post-1889558 Wed, 14 Feb 2018 16:08:13 +0000 Anonymous 1889558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is time to think of what to pack for 2 weeks at an AirB&amp;B on the beach, early March, Maui. I need to pack in a carry-on and probably bring a regular sized backpack. Will have the family together so toddler and 5 month old baby. Ideas???? I am willing to shop. </p>
