Many people prefer traveling during the summer season because most places in the world are covered with snow in the winter, and their beaches aren’t exactly the most comfortable places to visit in such cold weather. However, there are some places that are ideal to visit all year round. Kauai is certainly one of those vacation destinations that you can easily visit even in the winter.
Kauai in winters is like paradise on earth with its plush water-kissed trees and flowers, gorgeous waterfalls, and enormous moistened landscapes. Also, Kauai has a quite stable climate all year round, and the weather doesn’t really fluctuate much.
This means that there are many winter-friendly activities in Kauai that you can do if you ever plan a trip to this beautiful island. Let’s have a look at them.
Whale Watching Boat Tour
One of the most stunning sights of Kauai in winters is large groups of humpback whales that migrate to the waters of this island during the cold weather. These whales come back from the chilly Alaska waters to give birth, which is truly heart-warming to see with your own eyes.
One of the best spots to experience this phenomenon is the Kapaa bike path, where you can also book a boat tour. The tour takes you all the way to the gently flowing waters, where you get to see these majestic mammals up close.
Snorkeling at the Beach
One way to make the most of Kauai’s cold weather is winter snorkeling! Kauai’s north shore may display dangerous waters during the high winter surf, but its south side is surely a lot calmer during the winter months. One of its must-visit south shore beaches is Poipu Beach, a beach that is famous for its gentle flowing water.
This creates the perfect opportunity for snorkeling and exploring the magnificent life underwater! The best snorkeling spot on the beach is towards the right where there are fewer people and deeper water.
Surf Away
If you’re one of those daring and adventurous surfers who wait for the winter season, Kauai is the place for you! The north-side of this island experiences erratic ocean currents and gigantic splashing waves during this season that often rise to a height of more than 20 ft.!
This presents you with an ideal chance to display your excellent surfing skills amid the violent waves!
Watch the Surfers
If you don’t know how to surf, you can engage yourself in surf-watching, which is one of Kauai’s most popular winter activities. All you need to do is grab some of your favorite local snacks and relax on the shore as the brave surfers ride the huge waves and pull off some impressive tricks.
Sip Your Coffee
Nothing says winter like a delicious, steaming mug of coffee, and that’s exactly what Kauai in winters is all about. Visit the Kauai Coffee Company, where you don’t just get to indulge in a cup of hot, rich coffee, but you also get to learn all about the island’s coffee plantations.
This coffee company takes vacationers and tourists on amazing walking tours with a guide by your side that tells you all about their coffee-making. All this happens as you walk past the island’s extraordinary coffee trees!
There’s absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t visit Kauai during the winter season. If you do, you’ll definitely have an experience of a lifetime!
