Hawaii in February
Whale season peak, Presidents Day crowds, and consistently warm weather across all islands.

Weather
Highs around 80°F (27°C), lows 65°F. Rain is heavier on the windward (east) sides — 3.5 inches average — but leeward resort areas (Wailea, Kaanapali, Ko Olina, Poipu) see under half that.
The advisor angle
February is Maui's biggest whale-watching month — humpbacks are calving in the Auau Channel. Sell whale-watch add-ons at booking; on-island availability tightens fast. Presidents Day week (typically week 3) commands Christmas-level pricing.
Preferred hotel picks
Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea
FSPP perks; direct whale sightings from Wailea rooms.
Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria
Best for families — Virtuoso amenities include daily breakfast.
Montage Kapalua Bay
West Maui, adults-oriented, strong preferred rates.
Booking window
Book 6–9 months out; 9–12 for Presidents Day week.
Commission notes
Interisland flights (Hawaiian, Southwest) are not commissionable — build all lodging + activities through your host. Rental car via preferred (Hertz, Enterprise) is.
