For a little adventure off the beaten path, why not take a plunge into Queen’s Bath?
Tucked away on Kauai’s North Shore coastline, this natural, large ocean water “pool” is only accessible from a short hike in the neighborhood of Princeville. The pool is made of lava rock and at the right time of year, is a wonderful retreat where you can enjoy swimming, snorkeling and sunbathing while viewing the gorgeous coastline.
The trail to Queen’s Bath is slightly muddy and leads from the cliffside down 120 feet to the shoreline. It may look intimidating at first glance, and when we were there, a few travelers turned around and decided against the trek. Don’t be steered away because it’s actually a short and fairly easy hike and the rewards are well worth it. On the way down, take note of the waterfall to the right, a perfect resting point to cool off on the return climb back up.
Down below, continue left over the lava rocks to the pool. The views of the coast to the north and south are a stunning mix of black rock, gradient blue seas and white powdery clouds. Nearby, we saw a Hawaiian Monk Seal gliding through the ocean. Surf (along with fish) flow into Queen’s Bath from an inlet and allow for cool, refreshing waters. After a hike in the summer heat, this makes the dip all the more exhilarating! Unfortunately, during our visit in August, the calm ocean only trickled in, leaving the pool slightly murky. Even so, it was clear enough to see several saltwater fish swimming at our sides. For the more adventurous, large rock formations overhanging the area tempted a few daring travelers to jump in. It looked like a lot of fun, but use caution, because the rocky surface was sprinkled with sea spray, leaving it wet and slippery.
If you like exploring, the Queen’s Bath is definitely a “must!” It's not a crowded place, but it’s a popular spot with tourists and locals so you probably won’t have this little gem to yourself. To get there from Princeville take Ka Haku Road to Kapiolani and follow till you see the small parking lot and trail head.
**Because of the location and the inlet into the ocean, stay away from Queen’s Bath during rough waters or high tide. Wear a good pair of tennis shoes or reef walkers because they’ll help for an easier hike down the dirt path and bring plenty of sunblock. The trail is closed October – May.

Queens Bath
North Kauai
Queen's Bath is one of the most unique and refreshing swimming areas on the island. The "pool" is carved into a lava shelf and is the size of several large swimming pools. The government has recently closed this site during the winter months due to law suits from tourist who have been hurt from natural conditions.
When the surf is cooperating, usually in the summer months, the water is calm and crystal clear. However, if the surf is pounding you can't even find the pool.
A small, freshwater stream flows nearby and is the perfect place to rinse off after sunning and swimming in the Bath.Views of the ocean and the rocky shoreline here are fantastic. Even when the surf is fairly calm, waves crash on the rocks shooting spray high into the air. Small fish and tiny sealife also call Queen's Bath home.
Useful Information:
- Only enter the pool when the surf is calm
- Use caution as the rocks are often slippery
- Do not swim in the open ocean here due to strong currents and rocks
- No facilities
- Use extreme caution on the path to the pool as it is often slippery and wet
- DO NOT dive into the pool due to large rocks and shallow areas
DIRECTIONS:
Take Highway 56 to Princeville. Turn right on Ka Haku Road. Turn right on Punahele and right again on Kapiolani. Park along the road at the end of Kapiolani and follow the dirt trail along the stream for about 25 yards. At the end of the trail turn left for about 300 yards to the Bath. Loading...

Maui's Top 10 Things to do List!

Maui's Top 10 Things to do!
- 1. Explore Haleakala with the Best Downhill Bike Tour on Maui, Aloha Bicycle Tours (800-749-1564). Experience the exhilaration of Bicycling down the Volcano to the beautiful Tedeschi Winery . We don't "herd or rush" you down the Mountain, like the other Tours. Enjoy the freedom of riding at your own pace on "Top of the Line" Trek Comfort Bikes. We specialize in small groups and great personal service. We do our best to make our Bike Tour, become one of the highlights of your vacation here on Maui! In fact, check out our Customer Comments and see why they agree, Aloha Bicycle Tours is the Best on Maui.
- 2. Sail to the exclusive island of Lanai or Snorkel Molokini with Paragon Sailing Charters (800-441-2087). Known as the pineapple island, Lanai's hidden secrets include spinner dolphins off the white sand beach at Manele Bay. The underwater treasures are so unique that Lanai has been rated one of the top 10 snorkel destinations in the world. They specialize in smaller groups and very personal service. Ask Captain Eric or Mike if you can take the Helm and set the speed record (30 knots).
- 3. Take the Drive to Hana and leave early. Buy a driving tour cassette tape or CD. As you drive, you simply turn your taped tour on and off as suggested by your "tourguide". On the road, show respect for the locals (Big 4x4's) by regularly looking in your rear view mirror and pulling over (use your blinker) to the right and letting them pass. Bring your own cooler with food and drink. Realize Hana is a journey, not the destination. Swim at Hamoa Beach or the Red Sand Beach. For an awesome Adventure, take a flight with Armin Engert of Hang Gliding Maui in his Powered Tandem Hang Glider out of Hana airport. You'll truly see the Beauty of Hana from the Air. Advance reservations are suggested. Also, Hike with Hana Cave Tour's experienced guides, deep into the subterranean passages of an extinct lava tube and witness first hand the last seconds of the lava flow, frozen in time, that formed this portion of Maui. Visit the Pools of Ohe'o (formerly known as Seven Sacred Pools). Experience Ancient Hawaii on Horseback with Hawaiians in Kipahulu at Maui Horseback Tours. Immerse yourself in a day of adventure in one of the most beautiful places on our Planet Earth and find out the meaning of "Aloha" from Hawaiians. This is one of the only Native Hawaiian Owned and Operated Activity Businesses I know of.
- 4. Take a Sunset walk on Front Street, Lahaina...have a drink at Kimo's . Dinner at David Paul's Lahaina Grill is always a winner as is Roy's or Nicolina's in Kahana. Also at Kaana
