Things to do in Princeville, Hawaii (HI): The Best Nature & Parks
Originally planned as a barony of the young Prince Albert, who would never live to see its fruition, the present resort community of Princeville is nothing less than regal with its emerald cliffs overlooking magnificent Hanalei Bay. Two championship golf courses offer challenging fairways and unsurpassed views over the ocean. The coastline is a magical mixture of natural beauty and careful landscaping, with pristine beaches, lush vegetation, crystalline waterfalls and sapphire waters.

Princeville Botanical Gardens is a family owned and operated garden paradise located in the Princeville area on the magnificent north shore of Kauai. Established by The Robertson Family with the help of their close gardening friend Michael in 2001, this 9-acre property has been transformed into a breathtaking garden with dramatic landscaping in two steep valleys. The tour includes homegrown honey and fruit samples, as well as a chocolate tasting that teaches you the history of chocolate making. You'll have fun learning about the uses and folklore of native Hawaiian plants and exotic species from around the world. RESERVATIONS REQUIRED. Visitors can experience the garden on pre-scheduled tours on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Tours are not recommended for children under 6 years. Moderate mobility is needed to go on our nature walk. Please be sure to call us before visiting. Thank you!

Expecting a typical botanical garden, I knew I would enjoy browsing through the flowers, but this is MUCH MORE. There is a little natural medicine, unexpected and very unusual plants, delightful grounds, a chocolate tasting and instructing, knowledgeable guide (Sara) and definitely worth the price. I would recommend this tour to ANYONE looking for something a bit unusual and entertaining on Kauai. Michelle K

If your up for a hike down a crazy trail this is for you. Great little waterfall, amazing ocean views. Be prepared wear gym shoes the trail is challenging and can be difficult for some. The areas of the shore are amazing and have several areas where the water will cascade across tide pools and if you get to close soak you!! Be careful it’s a long drop to the ocean!

Did not expect this stay of 5 days to be so beautiful.. it was and way more.. The condos are located by the sea, overlooking imposing cliffs, and has a path down to Hideaways Beach- so amazing and private, with rocks, waves lashing on them.. a good sandy stretch too! The condos were so clean, with full kitchen, 2 full baths, 2 bedrooms sleeping 4, and very comfortable.. The Hideaways Pizza pub served delicious food too! The condos are so close to spectacular northern shore points- The Lighthouse in Kīlauea, Hanalei beach and town with restaurants, Haena beach, Tunnels beach, Ke’e beach , The Hanakapai trail, LIMAHULI Gardens and more! LOVED IT!! Will go back there next time in Kauai!

This is a public beach to the west of the St Regis beach and Hanalei Bay Resort beach access trail. Nice views all day long especially sunsets. Great privacy the farther west you go. Eventually you will run into an outcropping of rocks. Before this you will be on the opposite side of the Hanalei River and the Hanalei Pier.
