My decision to travel to Hawaii will remain to be the best I have made this year.
This is because I needed to get away in a relaxed but exotic location and this is exactly what I got during my four day travel to Princeville.
Although I had a lifetime experience, getting to and from Princeville is not easy, as you need to Honolulu before proceeding here.
I checked into Hanalei Bay Resort where I had booked my four day accommodation.
This is one of the best resorts I have been to and would recommend it to anyone
who is planning to travel to Hawaii
.
This is because it is located in a peaceful environment that is also gorgeous.
It is a perfect place for those interested in a relaxed and quiet place.
This hotel offers various amenities that include the beach, kitchenette, restaurant bar/lounge and a swimming pool.
Princeville is an amazing place to visit because it matches its history that partly determined my choice of destination.
It is believed to have been planned to serve as a barony for Prince Albert.
This place has great attractions that will leave you feeling totally relaxed and at one with nature.
For instance, the coastline is a combination of careful landscaping, magical beauty, lush vegetation, sapphire waters and crystalline waterfalls.
One of the attractions that I visited while here is the Princeville Botanical Gardens that was originally privately owned.
The gardens offer a breathtaking sight and are comprised of food as well as medicinal plants.
There are numerous ornamental species too.
There is usually a guide who is knowledgeable on standby to take you through an engaging tour in groups.
This garden is constantly improved to make it even better.
One of the important things to consider is bringing insect repellant and wearing comfortable shoes because the trails are somewhat slippery that I actually survived a fall.
I also went to the Pali Ke Kua Beach that is also known as the Hideaway beach.
This is a perfect location with a great experience if you desire to spend the day at the beach.
This beach is secluded, beautiful and clean making it one of the best places to relax and enjoy embrace the natural beauty of the surrounding.
While here, I took to surfing, snorkeling as well as enjoying great views of the tide pools.
This beach is not crowded hence; you can enjoy a lot of privacy.
It is thus great for honeymooners.
Even then, you need to know that getting there is a little strenuous.
Not to be
missed when visiting Princeville in Hawaii
is the Queen’s Bath that is basically a tide pool whose size is equivalent to that of a swimming pool.
This magnificent attraction lies strategically at the foot of some cliffs along shoreline that is also rocky.
I had lots of fun at the Queen’s bath experience.
This is because when I visited the waves were calm thus, I took advantage and did a front flip.
However, you also must take note of the fact that this attraction can be dangerous hence the need to stick to all the safety guidelines.
Most importantly, you must know that the bath is not so deep.
Apart from diving into the bath, you can simply enjoy a couple of drinks and relax or swim as you watch other people.
Visiting the Princeville Makai Golf course is also another memorable
experience of travel to Hawaii
.
The golf facility that is arguably one of the most beautiful I have ever seen and had an opportunity to play comprises 27 holes.
Moreover, the views from this course are spectacular making it player friendly.
This is one of the must visit attractions in Princeville so make a point of dropping by next
time you are in Hawaii
.
Another amazing experience in Hawaii was the sightseeing from sunshine helicopter Princeville.
The helicopters have a lot of room in the interior but most importantly, the windows are large enough to grant you a breathtaking panoramic view of Princeville.
The Princeville adventure lasts between 40 to 50 minutes and tours Napali coast, Waimea Canyon, several waterfalls, Waialeale crater and a number of waterfalls that are best capture by a camera so remember to bring one.
The ride was also exhilarating because it was my first time on a helicopter.
I definitely recommend this trip.
I also went to Halele’a spa to spoil myself and I was not disappointed.
The Spa experience was more than just amazing and worth the money.
I opted for Taro Butter Pohaku massage that I had never had before and I did not regret the decision.
As the name suggests, this massage involves the use of taro butter as well as hot stones that guarantee the relaxation of muscles.
I would recommend this massage to anyone who wants to relax because it turned out to be one of the best massages I have ever had.
Apart from the massage, I also had a great time at other facilities here that include the sauna, steam and multi-head waterfall showers.
The shampoos, lotion and conditioner that are provided have an inviting scent that will make you feel relaxed.
You cannot leave Princeville Island without trying another unique activity that I discovered here that is a sailing excursion whose admission fee is about $100 per hour.
This is usually rare to find hence sailing on the 45 foot traditional Hawaii sailing cone is worth writing home about.
This experience lasts for about an hour and a half and it includes snorkeling time that is unforgettable as well as a tour of the Hanalei bay.
I was also able to sight dolphins and turtles during the sail.
The sail presents a perfect opportunity to interact with the locals that are ironically outnumbered by visitors.
It was also great seeing the sunset as we enjoyed our cruise as it made the whole experience even more beautiful.
Visiting Princeville Centre is also a great idea.
This place has just about everything that you can think of even though the challenge is that most of the items sold here have a huge price tag.
However, I managed to find a store that specializes in some great sandwiches that are reasonably priced.
You too can be sure to find something that your budget can accommodate.
If you love the night scene like me, you will be pleased to know that the nightlife in Princeville is natural, relaxed and slow.
Thus, night events are molded around the sunset and alcohol.
This is a great break from clubbing and jamming all night because you truly get the essence of the holiday as you will be totally relaxed.
In terms of the cuisine, Princeville offers a variety of cuisines because it is receives visitors from different parts of the globe.
Therefore, you can be sure to find something that meets your tastes.
I truly had the best of times in Hawaii and would be glad to repeat this experience all over again.
