What it means for your trip
Book outdoor plans for the morning in any month. In the green season the rain usually arrives after lunch; the park tour at 7:00 a.m. normally finishes dry. Rain does not cancel the park or the night tour, and frogs and snakes are more active when it is wet.
Whales: humpbacks pass the Central Pacific from December to March. Whale season details.
