Activities For Dogs In Hawaii On Rainy Days

Okay, so it's raining outside. You don't want to get too wet but you want something to do. Why not go for a drive? Out of most states, Hawaii has some of the most beautiful landscapes around, and what better way to take it all in than with a drive? Each of the chain's main islands have at least a few different routes to take and span everything from oceanside drives to crawls up nearby mountains and everything in between, leaving plenty of opportunities to grab your pooch and hit the road. Of course, you'll want to be safe since the roads will be a bit slicker, but if you're careful, you can get some great entertainment out of the experience with very little cost outside of gas. It's easy to do, takes little outside of a vehicle and a harness, and can last as long as your gas tank.

This may not apply as much to those who are just visiting, but it will most certainly apply to anyone who is a resident of one of the Hawaiian Islands. Many people feel trapped inside their own homes when it rains, mostly because going out almost guarantees that they'll get wet or that roads are less safe. But many also get bored because they are just plain bored of their living space, which is where renting a vacation spot, even just for a night, comes in handy. Although it's certainly not cheap, it can provide a nice change of pace, including access to amenities some may not have in their home, such as hot tubs, board games, and even covered patios, which are perfect havens on a rainy day. Many rentals like those on Airbnb are dog-friendly, and giving yourself and your pooch a new place to hang out could be the perfect remedy to the rainy day blues.

Just because it's raining outside doesn't mean you can't be out there as well. In fact, in Hawaii, even on rainy days, the temperature is still considerably higher than most other places in the United States, making it far more tolerable to be outside when wetness is just wetness and not also coldness. So why not also go for a swim? As long as there aren't menacing winds or lightning in the area, you're already going to be wet from swimming, which means the rain will bother you that much less. All you have to do is leave a towel in the car instead and as long as you have a dog that doesn't mind getting wet, you should be good to go. Most plastic-based dog toys are already water proof, which means you can transfer your games from the sand to the surf and be able to enjoy both equally, even without the sunshine. After all, it's as easy as can be, cheap, and chances are you won't have to fight off other beachgoers for prime real estate!
