Kaua'i has long been renowned as one of the most beautiful of the Hawaiian islands, with its green valleys, towering waterfalls, and sparkling beaches. While it makes for an idyllic tropical vacation any time of year, there's something truly special about experiencing the Garden Island during the summer months.
The Weather is Perfect
With average highs in the 80s and plenty of sunshine, Kaua'i summers are made for spending long, lazy days at the beach or exploring the island's incredible natural scenery. The relatively dry climate means you don't have to worry much about rainy day blues disrupting your vacation plans. Just don't forget to slather on plenty of sunscreen!
The Ocean is Warm and Inviting
One of the biggest draws of a Kaua'i summer is the dazzlingly blue and gloriously warm ocean waters. Snorkeling, swimming, surfing, stand-up paddleboarding - there's no shortage of water activities to keep you happily immersed all summer long. The unusually calm winds during summertime also make for excellent conditions for sailing, kayaking, and ocean fishing adventures.
Summer Festivals and Events
Summer marks the peak of festival season on Kaua'i, with aloha celebrations taking place across the island. Some of the most popular include the Kaua'i Polynesian Festival, Koloa Plantation Days, and the islandwide Hawaiiana cultural showcases. You'll find amazing food, music, dance and crafts at these lively events honoring Hawaii's indigenous traditions.
Endless Family Fun
With schools out for the summer, Kaua'i becomes a prime family vacation destination during the summer months. In addition to the beaches, there are kid-friendly activities like hiking to waterfalls, touring historic sites like the Grove Farm Homestead, riding the vintage trains at the Kaua'i Plantation Railway, and exploring the mini Grand Canyon of Waimea. Many resorts and hotels offer summer day camps and activities tailored to keep keiki (children) endlessly entertained.
Whether you're looking for a laid-back beach escape or an active adventure under the Hawaiian sun, Kaua'i has it all during the summer season. Just don't be surprised if one visit simply isn't enough - many travelers find themselves returning year after year to recapture the magic of a Kaua'i summer.
