With the winter months slowly coming to an end and the cold spring showers arriving across the continental US– it’s the best time to escape to the tropical paradise of Kauai. The month of March is a magical time for the Hawaiian Islands; humpback whales are traversing back to the colder Alaskan waters, the rain feeds the botanical life while still clearing to reveal warm sunny days, and overall traffic to the island decreases in preparation for the Spring Break rush.
Here are some fun things to do for the whole family when vacationing in Kauai this March.
Go on a Helicopter Tour Over the Island
An estimated 80% of Kauai island is inaccessible by automobile or foot. This means that if you opt for any land or boat tour you could be missing out on the majority of the beauty and adventure that Kauai has to offer!
This is why we recommend booking an air tour of Kauai. The accredited companies who operate these air tours not only have seasoned pilots but individuals who are experts in taking groups along these sights and going into the history and lore of these hidden gems.
If you want to see something than less than a fraction of all the visitors (and locals) are able to see on Kauai– make sure to book your Kauai air tour with a trusted company like Ali’i Kauau Air Tours & Charters.
The best part– a doors off experience ups the ante and adventure, bringing you right into the environment.
Adventure on a Kauai Hike
While, as mentioned, the majority of the island is inaccessible by foot or automobile– that does not mean that there aren’t some amazing sights to see from the ground. Kauai is unique among the Hawaiian islands as it is not only the oldest but the most lush with botanical life. Waterfalls dot the coastlines and inner island and there are some unbeatable trails that lead right to them.
If you are looking for an adventure while keeping both feet on the ground make sure that you check out some of the Waimea Canyon trails like Waimea Canyon Lookout (just 0.1 miles and good for the whole family) or the more expert 5 mile hike through the canyon– the Kukui Trail.
No matter what you are looking for, Kauai has hikes for all skill levels and interests and March is a great time to do it as that is when the weather is cooler and there is less traffic along the path.
Go to a Luau in Kauai
Arguably the most popular thing to do when vacationing on the Hawaiian islands is going to a luau. These traditional Hawaiian “parties” consist of entertainment like fire dancing and hula alongside a huge array of family style food including the piece-de-resistance– a whole pig (Kalua) that has been roasted in a large underground pit.
If you are looking to learn about the cultural history of the islands, enjoy some of the most amazing local food, and go before the sweltering temperatures of the summer– be sure to book your luau experience for march!
Visit Hanalei Bay
Arguably one of the most popular spots on the entire island of Kauai, Hanalei Bay is a must see! It is not only the most photographed area on the island but it has been a cornerstone attraction since Hawaii tourism rose to prominence in the 20th century– featured in the classic film, “South Pacific.”
Hanalei Bay is home to diverse marine life, beautiful topography, and some amazing places to stay. March is a wonderful time to visit this landmark as the waters are still warm for those looking to swim while the land surrounding the bay is a vibrant green from the rain in the early months of Spring.
There are SO Many Amazing Kauai Activities in March
Overall, March is an amazing time to visit Kauai, there is something fit for everyone with any interest. From swimming in Hanalei Bay to going on a doors off helicopter tour adventure. Be sure to book your tickets and plan your next adventure!
