Throwback Thursday: Queen's Bath in Princeville, Kauai

Queen's Bath in Princeville, Kauai

 

Queen's Bath in Princeville Kauai

 

On our last trip to Kauai, and hopefully soon to be repeated, we spent a fair amount of time exploring the island, both north and south shores, but still found plenty of time to just dump and unwind.

 

Near the end of our 8 days we explored the Queen's Bath in the Princeville area where we stayed on the North Shore. It was pretty cool, not crowded, and while not the easiest walk down the hill on a rather slippery path then over the lava rock to get to the Bath, it was great fun.

 

That said, I did some additional research after visiting, and getting to and visiting the Queen's Bath can be kinda risky due to the unpredictability of the ocean waves that, when in the mood, sweep people off the ledges and into the ocean...and a number of deaths have occurred. There is plenty of discussion about the dangers and safety concerns of the site, and even the recommendation to not go at all (e.g., HawaiiGaga; Tom's Barefoot Tours).  I guess that one time will be it!!

Good morning Jeff.  Looks like you were having a great time.  Who knows maybe one of these days I'll be there.

Great flashback and photos Jeff Dowler. You provoked my own Throwback Thursday memory: Ailina and I started our Honeymoon off in Maui after our wedding there, then a week Kauai before we flew to Tahiti. We took the whole month of October 2002 to do this and I can share that Kauai was so beautiful and quiet. Our whole trip was about relax & romance.

Hi James Dray 

It WAS a great time and not the sort of thing I would typically do. I can see how it could be unsafe when the ocean is really acting up!

Hi Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor, CRS 

What a trip of a lifetime. I really like both Maui and Kauai although I have a preference for the latter. Haven't been to Tahiti yet but would love to go. Everyone I know who has been raves about it.

Glad you would able to take such precious and memorable time with Ailina!

Amazing, Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor, CRS  - good for you. I would not do that, unless there simply was no Internet service to be found! LOL

Thanks Roy Kelley  It was great fun and I'm glad I didn'd read all about it before going or I might not have done it!

Jeff,

 It looks wonderful wow who would have thought that danger was lurking...I guess there will be other places to explore in Kauai next time!

Actually I am not surprised given how rocky the coast is in that area, but glad I was not aware before going. I'll be exploring other areas next time.

Hi Jeff -- I've yet to visit Kauai(only Oahu and Maui) and the clarity of the ocean is beyond words.  So many places on that bucket list....hoping to cross off more in the not too distant future.

Some day you'll get to Kauai Michael Jacobs . I liked it better than Maui (although I really like Maui) because it is more laid-back and less crowded. But I suppose I will just have to keep doing some comparison testing to be sure! LOL
