Kauai is the perfect destination for a tropical escape. However, choosing the right time to book your rental from Kauai Exclusive Management can make all the difference in your experience. While there is no bad time to plan your getaway, is there a time of year that’s best to visit Kauai? According to some, the answer is yes. Keep reading to learn more about when you should plan your stay at one of our luxury rentals on Kauai.
What Are the Ideal Months for Visiting Kauai?
The best time to visit Kauai is generally April to June or September to November. These months are considered the shoulder season because they fall between peak summer and winter travel periods. These two times of year are ideal for a number of reasons.
- Visiting during these shoulder seasons means fewer tourists at popular sites like Hanalei Bay, Waimea Canyon, and the Na Pali Coast. Smaller crowds give you a more peaceful and private experience.
- April to June and September to November are known for the mild, pleasant weather. Often, temperatures range from the mid-70s to mid-80s with lower humidity than in the summer months.
- Because it’s not peak season, airfare and accommodations are often lower.
Overall, visiting in the shoulder season means you get the perfect balance of sunny skies, idyllic conditions, and endless adventure without the heavy crowds or prices.
