High season on Kauai is around Christmas time and early spring – when the weather on the US mainland is poor and people need a seasonal escape. However, the weather may be better from April to June and September to December. The crowds will also be lighter and accommodations will also be cheaper, a winning combination. Travel in May to combine great weather with a chance to head out whale-watching.
Lihue isn’t very large, and the harbor and downtown area are walkable (or you can rent a bike). However, to see the island’s attractions renting a car is essential, and see if your hotel offers a package deal as you can make significant savings. The coast of Kauai is also great cycling territory.
