Kauai is a vacation destination that inevitably captures a traveler’s imagination no matter when you happen to arrive to enjoy time away from the hustle of life. This year, consider immersing yourself in island beauty over Memorial Day when the weather is warm, the sun is seemingly endless, and the options for fun abound! When you’re ready to turn those plans into reality, the following activities and attractions are well worth adding to your Kauai Memorial Day 2025 itinerary.
Enjoy Scenic Thrills from Above
Kauai comes with a long lineup of options for land-based fun for visitors, but when you’re heading this way over Memorial Day in 2025, you’ll want to be sure to consider sky high adventures too. Thrill seekers won’t want to miss out on a chance to enjoy an aerial tour of Kauai with the professional team over at Airborne Aviation headquartered in Lihue. Open year-round, this aerial tour company offers a Hughes 500 doors off helicopter excursion where everyone onboard gets a window seat. Two-way communication headsets are included for all passengers so you can learn more about the incredible island landmarks you’ll be flying over. At Airborne Aviation, pilots regularly provide rescue services for the Kauai Fire Department, so you can rest easy knowing you’re in good and certified hands.
Add a Great Performance to Your Memorial Day Lineup
If you’re someone who loves to infuse creative inspiration into every trip, your Memorial Day getaway to Kauai in 2025 can include time enjoying a production of the beloved stage performance Cabaret. This year, the Kauai Community Players will be performing Cabaret at the Puhi Theatrical Warehouse located at 4411-E Kikowaena in Lihue from May 16 through June 1, 2025. That makes your Memorial Day trip to Kauai a great time to purchase tickets and enjoy a one-of-a-kind performance you won’t soon forget.
Make the Most of Beach Hopping Fun
Your time in Kauai over Memorial Day will likely be marked by amazing weather, so there’s no reason not to spend as much time as possible on the gorgeous shorelines here! While Kauai has earned a reputation for excellence around its rainforests, sprawling canyons, and stunning cliffsides, it might just be the inviting beaches that end up bringing you back to the island time and again. In total, Kauai has more than 50 miles of sandy shorelines for locals and visitors alike to enjoy with certain areas iconic among surfing enthusiasts thanks to stellar waves year-round. Whether you’re looking to Hang 10, soak up the sun at a leisurely pace this Memorial Day, or enjoy building sandcastles with the kids, there’s a beach for everyone to love. Head over to Hanalei Bay in the North Shore for fantastic surfing adventures this time of year, then find time to explore scenic Poipu Beach Park in the south as well. On the island’s west side, you’ll find Salt Pond Beach Park which is a great place for a family day on the sand thanks to shallow tide pools paired with active lifeguard stations in just about every season.
Snorkel and Sail in Good Company
Getting out on the water is a must this Memorial Day in Kauai and a great way to pair fun on the waves with amazing sightseeing is to book your place on a snorkel and sailing experience. The team over at Blue Dolphin Charters has a great Deluxe NaPali Coast Snorkel and Sail Tour which begins at around $205 for adults and $190 for kids. This tour invites participants to step onboard a luxury 65-foot catamaran and enjoy sightseeing along the NaPali Coast with stops built in for snorkeling adventures too. There’s a good chance you’ll spot dolphins along the way, your snorkel gear is conveniently included, and breakfast is served onboard as well.
