There are many reasons why Kauai is one of the most popular vacation destinations in the world - its lush landscape, soaring mountains, waterfalls, and the only navigable river in Hawaii. But it is also a tropical island that is known for its rainy weather - and with dozens of rainy days every year, it can feel like you might miss out on a lot of fun.
When it rains in Kauai, there are still plenty of things to do. Here are a few of our favorite things to do on a rainy day in Kauai:
When you’re on a tropical vacation, it’s hard not to want to eat some good food. This is especially true on a rainy day in Kauai when you can find restaurants that serve up traditional dishes, such as poke (raw tuna or octopus in cubes), lomilomi (smoked salmon with tomatoes and onions), poi (mashed taro root) and loco moco (burger patty with white rice and a choice of toppings).
If you’re looking for an activity that will keep you dry while learning about the history of Kauai, visit one of the many museums available. This includes the Kauai Museum, which will give you a comprehensive overview of the island.
If the rain has cleared up, you can take a tour of a coffee plantation to learn about how this unique and fragrant beverage is made. The ABC Store in Kapaa and Kilauea Bakery are great places to get a taste of this local delicacy.
