When you planned your Kauai vacation and booked your flight and accommodations, you no doubt had visions of beautiful blue skies, sand and sunshine galore. The fact is, it rains here just like it does everywhere else in the world. It may last for 15 minutes, it could last for a day or two. Don’t let a little rain spoil your Kauai fun, there’s still plenty to enjoy and experience! Our Kauai zipline tours operate whether it’s sunshine or rain, so at least there’s that if you’re looking for something on the adventurous side. What else? Here you go.
Pamper yourself. What better to do on a rainy day than experience a rejuvenating treatment at one of the local spas? From scrubs and facials to wraps and massage, indulge yourself in a pampering experience that’s truly Hawaiian.
Shop! This is something that’s highly popular among tourists whether it’s raining or the sun’s shining. Relax and shop for yourself, for souvenirs, and to enjoy fashions created by local artisans. From jewelry, clothing and accessories to Hawaiian shirts and other goodies for the men, you’ll want to check out Old Koloa Town, Po’ipu Shopping Village, Kikui Grove Shopping Center and Coconut Marketplace, to name a few. Lots to eat along the way!
Speaking of food, eating is another great rainy-day experience. Enjoy local favorites you may never have eaten before, fresh seafood, locally sourced fruits and veggies and more at Hamura Saimin, Postcards Cafe, Hanalei Dolphin Restaurant and Fish Market, Porky’s Kauai, or Bar Acuda Tapas & Wine. From urban-chic to nautical themes and charming, nostalgic atmospheres, you’ll find so many options for unleashing your inner foodie!
Learn about the Garden Isle’s history and explore! The Grove Farm Museum, Kokee State Park Museum and Kiohana plantation era home are just a handful of the many locations and museums you’ll find in Kauai that offer education and fun for the entire family. The Kauai Museum is where you will enjoy tours, Haku Lei making, live music, coconut weaving workshops, hula classes and lots more depending on date and time.
There is always something fun to do in Kauai, regardless of the weather! Some like to just stay inside and enjoy the beauty of their surroundings while listening to the pitter-patter on the roof. If you want some excitement and fun on a rainy day, check out our Kauai zipline adventures!!
