5 Things to Do on the South Shore of Kauai in the Winter

The Garden Isle of Kauai is lovely to visit during winter, especially the South Shore. If you are planning a winter escape to Kauai’s South Shore, there are many attractions and activities you can enjoy. If you need to start putting together your itinerary, Parrish Kauai has you covered. We have put together a list of the five best things to do on the South Shore of Kauai you can enjoy in the winter months.

The Top Things to Do on Kauai’s South Shore in the Winter

Kauai’s delightful climate makes it perfect for all sorts of activities, even in the winter. From relaxing sunrise strolls on the beach to thrilling whale watching tours and everything in between, there is something for everyone to enjoy on the South Shore of Kauai.

1. Check Out the Beach

No trip to Kauai is complete without checking out Kauai’s world-renowned beaches. You can expect highs in the mid-70s when you visit Kauai in the winter, so whether you want to go for a refreshing dip or soak up the sun, Kauai’s beaches can accommodate you. On the South Shore, we recommend visiting the famous Poipu Beach, an excellent spot for snorkeling, whale watching, and more.

2. Go Whale Watching

As water temperatures cool, humpback whales migrate into Kauai’s warm waters, making whale watching undoubtedly one of the best things to do during this time. As previously mentioned, you can take in the whales at some of the South Shore beaches, like Poipu Beach. However, if you want to get a closer look at these gentle giants, many whale watching tours are based out of Poipu.

3. Play a Round of Golf

Golfers from cold weather regions rejoice because you can play golf on Kauai even in the winter. Hawaii is a world-class destination for golf, and Kauai’s South Shore has some phenomenal courses for you to enjoy. Some of the highlights include Poipu Bay Golf Course, Kiahuna Golf Club, and Kukuiula Golf Course. No matter which course you choose, you can expect a memorable golf experience.

4. View the Spouting Horn

The South Shore is home to one of Kauai’s most popular natural attractions, the Spouting Horn, a blowhole. Watching the water shoot out of the Spouting Horn is really something special; the water normally sprays 50-60 feet high. While watching this brilliant display is certainly awe-inspiring, do not climb down on the coastline; the surf can rise unexpectedly, putting you in danger.

5. Visit the South Shore’s Beautiful Botanical Gardens

Located across from the Spouting Horn, National Tropical Garden has two tranquil botanical gardens, Allerton Garden and McBryde Garden. These gardens are beautiful, steeped in history, and entrenched in Holywood; you might recognize them from Pirates of the Caribbean and Jurassic Park.
