If you can brave cooler temperatures and sometimes rainy weather, you'll likely be rewarded with fewer crowds and lower travel rates in the following popular destinations.
Maui
Although March falls within Maui's peak season, its excellent weather and conditions for water sports and wildlife viewing make it a superb time to visit. Experienced surfers can head to popular surf spots like Ho'okipa Beach and Kaanapali Beach to catch waves, while animal lovers can look for migrating whales during a whale watching cruise（乘船游览）. To save some coin, book your Maui hotel and airfare at least a few months in advance.
Whitehorse
Whitehorse is the capital of Canada's Yukon region. You can visit the SS Klondike National Historic Site and the MacBride Museum to learn about Whitehorse's ties to the Klondike Gold Rush and the First Nations people who settled here during the ice age. Then,travel outside of Whitehorse to check out some of the Yukon's breathtaking natural attractions, such as Kluane National Park and Reserve and see the northern lights in March.
