Which time would you take? They are both on the edge of Whale watching, is one a better chance than the other for whales. I assume I have less chance or rain in May, right? Any other factors?

No bad choice, but I'd go with November.

Rainfall chart - shows half as much rain in May. That would be the deciding factor for me.

We love November on Maui (married there during early November) :) .

You really can't go wrong. Both are low season, lower crowds, lower airfare. I'd go twice ;) .

We spent the entire month of November on Maui once. It was lovely. We did see some rain, but never all day. It never ruined our plans.
