Sentry Tournament of Champions

In January, the PGA golf tour returns to Maui for the 25th year at Kapalua Golf. This famous Maui golf tournament brings the most elite players and avid fans to the legendary Plantation Course, surrounded by panoramic views of the Pacific and West Maui Mountains. The money brought in from the tournament helps support Maui communities and non-profits on the island. Purchase the daily grounds tickets or upgrade your experience with one of these ticket options:

  • Banyan Club: Take in the Sentry tournament from the Banyan tent, offering excellent views of the 8th hole. 
  • Lanai on 18: Enjoy the best vantage point of the finishing hole with Lanai on 18 tickets. You will also have access to the covered venue, restrooms, and beverages.
  • Aloha Club: For the ultimate luxury during the tournament, buy an Aloha Club ticket. The covered venue sits on the 18th hole offering unmatched views and unlimited food and drinks.

Several of our Epic Realty vacation rentals are located minutes away from the Kapalua Bay Golf Course!

Art of Aloha

The Art of Aloha festival returns to the Lahaina art galleries at the end of January. Nine artists from around the world will showcase their work at The Shops at Wailea. From abstract art to bronze sculptures and metalwork, witness stunning art this winter on Maui.

You can also visit us during the Maui Open Studios event in February for an up-close look at artists’ studios and exhibition spaces.

Maui Whale Festival

The Maui Whale Festival is held throughout February to commemorate the migration of humpback whales to our waters during the winter. The event is hosted by the Pacific Whale Foundation, an organization dedicated to whale conservation for over 40 years! You can expect a film festival, craft fairs, a walk for whales, and the great whale count. 

You can find an influx of events during the weekend of World Whale Day, including parades, live music, and local food.
