Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

The weather in Kauai is surprisingly stable, with pleasant temperatures year-round. The winter months (November through March) see heavier rain, but winter is also the time when humpback whales migrate to Hawaii and can often be seen not far from shore. All things considered (weather, crowds, prices, etc.), the best times to visit are during the shoulder seasons of April–May and September–October. But the truth is there is no wrong time to visit the beautiful 'Garden Isle' of Kauai.

Sending parcels and letters in the US is a relatively straightforward process. The most common method is through the United States Postal Service (USPS). The USPS offers a variety of services for sending mail, including First-Class Mail for letters and postcards, Priority Mail for packages, and Priority Mail Express for overnight delivery. To send a parcel or letter, you will need to take it to a USPS post office or use a USPS blue collection box. Use the USPS website to find the nearest post office or collection box to your location. Additionally, you can also use private couriers such as FedEx and UPS, which often provide a wider range of services and faster delivery times, but generally at a higher cost.
