This replica of Sir John Tweed's original in Whitby, England, commemorates Cook's first landing on Kaua'i in January 1778. What to Expect: * A thoughtfully maintained park with picnic benches and informative plaques that mark this pivotal piece of Hawaiian history * The site invites a brief reflective stop -- more historical waypoint than major photo-op destination. Perfect For: * Bicultural enthusiasts and history buffs interested in early Hawaiian-European contact moments. * Travelers en route to Waimea Canyon--this makes a meaningful pause before continuing your journey Note: While small, the monument carries weight for its cultural significance; it's best viewed as a quiet, contemplative experience--ideal for travelers keen on appreciating history in a low-key setting.

While staying in Princeville, we decided to check out Queen's Bath, and it was absolutely worth the…read moreeffort. Parking in front of the entrance is extremely limited, and the surrounding residential area doesn't allow non-permitted parking. I ended up dropping off my wife and her friend so they could start the trek while I parked at the nearby golf course, which added about a half-mile walk to the entrance. From the entrance, the hike down to Queen's Bath is about half a mile. It's not too long, but there are a few tricky spots that require some careful footing. It's definitely manageable for most people, including kids, as long as you take your time. Once you arrive, you're rewarded with a beautiful natural tide pool filled with seawater and fish. Some people were even jumping from the surrounding rocks into the water below. The spot was lively, with plenty of tourists and families making the hike down to enjoy the view and the experience. A little extra work to get there, but the payoff is huge. Queen's Bath is a must-see if you're in Princeville.

If you do get the chance to go in, you will be amazed by how beautiful the area is! The baths were soo pleasant to swim, snorkel, and relax in. Walking along the rocks between the baths was easy as long as you watch your footing as the rocks are not flat. I highly, highly recommend coming here if the weather holds up for you!

Take some time and visit this point, known as Ninini point, and so is became the name of the lighthouse. While you are there, take your trash out.
