6 Hidden Gems Things to do in Princeville That You Shouldn't Miss

Princeville Ranch stands alone as one of the most pristine locations for horseback riding in all of Hawaii. We've been offering one-of-a-kind horseback rides on the north shore of Kaua'i for over 40 years. We are nestled on Kauai's iconic north shore with the Hanalei mountains surrounding us. Ride horses across the ranch lands and then take a short steep hike to our 80 foot waterfall where you can swim and cool off. A short hike up and back on the horses to ride the range completes this epic adventure. We also offer private rides for an exclusive experience.

Princeville Botanical Gardens is a family owned and operated garden paradise located in the Princeville area on the magnificent north shore of Kauai.

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.
