Things To Do if it Rains on Your Hawaii Vacation

Things To Do if it Rains on Your Hawaii Vacation

You’ve dreamt of your Hawaiian vacation for years and can picture the sunny blue skies, swaying palm trees, you best Hawaiian shirt or dress, and a cool tropical drink in your hand… But unfortunately, being an island, Oahu does experience inclement weather from time to time. So what do you do when beach-weather goes bad?

Some “Plan B” options:

  • Book a massage, manicure or pedicure, at your hotel or a nearby spa. After all, all vacations should include some relaxation and pampering!
  • Go shopping – Kahala Mall, Pearlridge Center and Windward Mall are three covered malls with a variety of shops and restaurants to choose from.
  • Aiea Bowl, karaoke and art museums are a few other ideas to pass the time indoors (or, just sleep in!).  

If you have kids…

  • Take them to the Children’s Discovery Center! Open Tuesday through Sunday, there’s lots of rooms to explore with educational and interactive activities.
  • Bishop Museum will keep them busy. There’s floors and floors of history, science and art to take in. Check out the planetarium and fun rotating exhibits!
  • Dave & Busters is always a blast – for kids and adults! Two floors of food, games and prizes. Then watch a movie next door at Ward Theatres!

Whatever you do, don’t despair – You’re still in Hawaii and not at work. And, as Hawaii weather goes, it will probably clear up soon, so don’t give up on your tan just yet!
