Perched along the north shore of the stunning island of Kauai, Princeville is the perfect vacation getaway for anyone looking for beautiful beaches and breathtaking terrain. With its towering seaside cliffs and rugged, untamed landscape, visitors will find plenty of outdoor activities coupled with some of the best views on the island. Make your way to Princeville for your next vacation and experience all the fun and excitement that this vibrant jewel along the coast has to offer.



The north shore of Kauai is generally considered the quieter end of the island, meaning you can enjoy a Hawaiian vacation without the crowds and overwhelming tourist feeling that punctuates the south shore and the other popular islands. While the south shore has more hustle and bustle, the north shore allows you to experience the natural beauty of this former coffee plantation at your own pace and with your own adventurous spirit as your guide. Push away any familiar notions of a Hawaii vacation as you explore the picturesque terrain and hike gorgeous cliffs on one of the most beautiful Hawaiian Islands.

Let the ocean guide your vacation travels by making your way to one of the beautiful sandy beaches that line the shores of Princeville. Of the three beaches in the region, Puu Poa Beach is the most popular for catching some sun and participating in whatever water activity interests you. With 1,000 feet of soft sand and its easy access to the public, Princeville vacationers come here for the excellent snorkeling opportunities and the relaxing swimming conditions when the surf is low. During high surf, however, expert surfers venture here in droves for the Hanalei Break and the extreme conditions that allow for some serious action.

If watching some of the most amazing Hawaiian surfers at Puu Poa Beach does not suite your style, head over to Sea Lodge Beach to stroll along this lovely pocket of glistening white sand. While not ideal for swimming due to the shallow and rocky ocean bottom, this is the perfect place to relax along the shore and simply listen to the sound of the crashing waves. Pali Ke Kua Beach is a great alternative to Puu Poa Beach since it also has prime swimming and snorkeling conditions, but the occasional high surf also makes it dangerous for those not taken to surfing over the waves.

When you are ready to retreat slightly inland and relieve your stress with a round of golf, make your way to the Princeville Golf Course to play on the Prince course. This 18-hole wonder makes it way through jungles, over ravines, and across a rolling terrain that will challenge even the most experienced duffer. While golf may be your number one priority as you attempt to conquer the course, soak in the stunning scenery along the way and you certainly will not leave disappointed with your Kauai golf experience.

If everyone in your traveling party is not game for a round of golf, there are plenty of other ways to enjoy a Princeville vacation on land. Horseback riding and hiking are both perfect for those who want to explore the lay of the land and catch sight of the tropical plants and birds in their natural habitat. If you want to see the terrain as if you were one of the magnificent birds, however, book a helicopter tour and view the beauty of the entire island from above for a memorable and breathtaking adventure.

A vacation in Kauai is meant to be a relaxing experience where you get back to nature and let its soothing qualities take over. Staying in Princeville is no different as the slow pace of the area melts away your stress and invites you to spend your days playing near the shore and venturing across its terrain. Be close to all of its natural wonders with Princeville rentals that are surrounded by lush vegetation and provide some of the most amazing views of the ocean. You really can get it all from your Kauai vacation when you stay in a condo or home rental that makes it easy to appreciate all the natural beauty that abounds in Princeville.
