Vacation in Kaua'i, Day 3, Princeville Botanical Gardens & Chocolate Tour
My wife and I are in Princeville on the island of Kauai. Today we went to a place called Princeville Botantanical Gardens & Chocolate Tour. Fascinating and unique place. It's a private residence on 8.75 acres. They hired a few people to lead organized tours of the property. They also used to make chocolate, and they still have a lot of cacao trees on the property. So they know a lot about chocolate. Part of the tour was to give us an education about chocolate, including free samples from around the world. Here's a video I made for this amazing property.
Then we went out to dinner at the very fancy St. Regis resort. The shots at the end are the view from our table.

Kauai Luxury Vacation Villa in Princeville at Hanalei Bay
From the moment you arrive, you immediately sense the Aloha spirit and the otherworldliness of Kauai's North Shore; Hanalei Bay Villas' surroundings are stunning and beyond beautiful. The unique charm, ideal location, dramatic beauty, and peaceful serenity provide an island experience to be treasured.
Hanalei Bay Villas #29, a private free standing home, is ideally situated above a tree top canopy revealing expansive views of the awe-inspiring North Shore Mountains adorned with waterfalls and often rainbows. The home also opens onto an ocean bluff, within sight and smell of the sea.
Just beyond the front door is a grassy overlook considered the best location on the island to view the Bali Hi sunset; provides an ideal vantage point to witness humpback whales breaching and world class surfers in the breaks just off the coastline. Of course, the sparkling Pacific colors are always spectacular and, at times, you are likely to see dolphins, sea turtles, and an occasional monk seal.
There are three beautiful public beaches within close walking distance. A hiking trail leads to Pali Ke Kua Beach which is a long, beautiful stretch of beach divided by a rock outcropping. During calm seas you can swim around the outcropping to what is known as Hideaways (seen on the aerial photo directly below the villa); a great snorkeling cove. Puu Poa Beach on Hanalei Bay, a picturesque white sand beach located in front of the St Regis Hotel, can be accessed by a 191 step staircase or via resort elevator. During low tide you can wade across the Hanalie River to Hanalei Pier & Beach Pavilion. Here you can rent kayaks, boogie boards, surf boards, and standup paddle boards.
Within the Princeville community you will also find a jogging path, Queen's Bath trailhead, Sea Lodge Beach, The Prince and Makai golf courses, healthy club and spa, tennis and basketball courts, restaurants, library, playground, shave ice and ice cream stand, boutiques, post office, and grocery store.
Truly, all the wonders of the North Shore are within two-twelve scenic miles of the villa; including many more fabulous beaches, Kalalau Trailhead, the quaint town of Hanalei, Tunnels, Limahuli National Tropical Botanical Garden, 'Anini Beach Park, Secret Beach, Kilauea Lighthouse...
This completely remodeled home includes state of the art kitchen, contemporary baths, new flooring, tasteful high-end furnishings, and luxurious bedding. It is sophisticated, comfortable, and laid-back. Numerous windows, cooling trade winds, ceiling fans, and cathedral ceilings keep the home light, fresh, and comfortable throughout the day.
Traditional Hawaiian Two Story Floor Plan:
Upper/Entry level - kitchen, dining, and living opens to a covered lanai with outdoor dining and grill; 1/2 bath and storage closet off foyer.
Lower Level - 2nd full bath and laundry room;

Queen's Bath Kauai
Queen's Bath, Princeville, Kauai. For detailed information including safety tips visit the following website:
The video contrasts the Queen's Bath area during stormy and calmer seas (Mar 22 and Mar 26, 2010). Forecast surf heights were 4-6ft vs 12-15ft.
Ke'e Beach Sunset, Kauai Hawaii
Incredible sunsets are synonymous with Ke'e Beach Park. Located literally at the end of the road on Kauai's North Shore between the dramatic Na Pali Coast and Limahuli Stream, the reef lagoon at Ke'e Beach is a favorite snorkeling site. The water is clear and there are tons of colorful reef fish and turtles. Ke'e Beach is probably the most visited beach on Kauai. The famed Kalalau Trail begins at the western end of the beach. Several movies and min-series have been filmed here. Ke'e Beach has a very tropical look with a backshore lushly vegetated by ironwood trees, coconut palms, ti, and guava.
One of the most romantic spots on the island. The road to Kee Beach from Princeville takes you past the Taro Field overlook. You then travel past a pull out overlooking Hanalei Bay, rated the #1 beach in the US in 2009. At the bottom of the hill is the first of many historic one lane bridges. The taro fields are on the left and it is where the majority of all the Hawaiian taro is grown today. You will then arrive in our favorite Kauai town, Hanalei. There are many fine shops, restaurants, and historic buildings in Hanalei. Hanalei Pier is located at the end of the beach and where South Pacific was filmed. Hanalei is just a great town to spend a whole day at between the beach, food and shops. The town has many surf shops that guaranteed to get you up your first day. There are also kayak rentals and boogie boards.
