June, July, and August are the driest months for the islands. Winter does get more rain and cloud cover. But, they are still quite intermittent and sunshine is frequent.

Average highs for Hawaii are in the high-80’s during summer low-80’s in winter. Temperatures rarely enter the 90’s or drop below the 70’s.

If you’re a fan of nature and of dinosaur movies, touring and exploring Hawaii’s beautiful island of Kauai may be a memorable experience.

The island served as “Isla Nublar” and many other locations in scenes for several of Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic series. With a little research, fans can enjoy visiting some of the many unique spots used. Some highlights include the Na Pali Coast and the Limahuli Garden. Certain spots can be seen by tour, while others can be experienced through a variety of ways such as hiking or a helicopter ride.

Even if you’re not a fan of the movie series, Kauai is absolutely still worth a visit. Visitors can experience helicopter tours, sailing, snorkeling, Zodiac tours, hiking, and more.

If you’re going to Hawaii, there are a few things you should make sure to pack. Don’t forget sunscreen to protect your skin from the strong sun. You should also bring some swimsuits because you’ll want to go to the beach. It’s hot in Hawaii, so pack lightweight clothes that are easy to breathe in. You’ll also want comfortable shoes for hiking and exploring.

A water-resistant bag is a good idea for all the water activities you’ll be doing, and insect repellent will help keep the bugs away. Bring a hat and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun, and a camera to take pictures of the beautiful scenery.

If you need any medication, bring that too, and be sure to have a positive attitude and open mind to enjoy your trip to the fullest.
