If you are looking for beautiful art and craftsmanship as a souvenir, I'd suggest going to Havaiki…read more It's such a beautiful shop that seems like a museum. They have Hawaiian and Oceanic art that are both old and new. You can spend hours looking at each piece in detail. Many of the pieces have amazing stories behind them and the newer ones are from local Hawaiian artist and craftsman. The staff member I spoke to was kind and let me roam freely while explaining which items were made locally. Overall I think that if you want to take home a souvenir that's authentic, beautiful and with great meaning, this is a place to check out and buy from.

A total gem! Friendly and informative service with truly beautiful pieces. Very happy we stopped by.read more

We spent our honeymoon in Kauai & have visited every year since. The entire experience was exceptional. Aaron Feinberg personally helped me choose the perfect print option and even accommodated a change I wanted to make shortly after placing the order. He was incredibly flexible, communicative, and made sure I felt informed and comfortable throughout the process. So much so that I ordered a second piece of art! Haha After years of visiting Kauai and admiring his incredible galleries, I've always aspired to own one of Aaron's pieces--and now I finally will!! I'm truly thankful for his guidance and support in making this dream a reality. The art itself is stunning, and the experience of working with Aaron made it even more meaningful. Highly recommend both his work and visiting the gallery!

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!

Amazing farm tour to table experience that educates and nourishes. This is a quintessential…read moreactivity that I look for on all Hawaii islands. This farm focuses on sustainability and regenerative farming; I appreciated learning that the main course was a byproduct of Ahi fishing: the Mongchong. The practice of lessening our waste is something we all need to be wary and partake in and respect the earth and the oceans that we take nourishment from. The meal was very special. This is a great chance to taste the unfamiliar; food you'll never taste on the mainland. I hope they excel when they start their restaurant business!

The food and setting were lovely. This is more of an event space than an actual farm, though they…read moredo source their ingredients locally. The farm tour- at least with the guide we had- was a wander through a small organic garden with a guide describing some plants that might be exotic if you're from the mainland- it's pleasant and interesting. There's no serious description of agriculture on Hawaii or why Hawaii has to import food or what might be done about it. There was no asking for questions, and a maybe 30% disinformation content. I'd suggest the owners list on the menu for the day where each item comes from- clearly that's what their clientele is interested in? Some of this might have been covered in the 4 minute meet with the chef, but I didn't retain it. It would be fun to know what all the ingredients are. Any last minute unforeseen swaps could then be discussed before the meal, since the visitors are interested in sustainable Ag we'd be interested in its unpredictability too.

With that in mind, you gotta respect the artist that engages a neophyte like me. We were simply strolling around window shopping and saw the artist/gallery owner Max painting outside. He warmly greeted us and we soon engaged in some funny repartee. He did not hover over us as we walked through the gallery, which I really appreciated. We ended up buying two prints - one a landscape and one a more abstract painting. Max took the time to explain how he makes the art and also agreed to ship it to us for free. One week later, the prints arrived on our Virginia doorstep. I wish all gallery experiences were as good as this one.

His engaging and authentic style made us feel welcome and happy. After some time, my lady and he hit it off on a big wonderful peice he had hanging. She looked at me as if to ask, "should I?" Of course, I told her, if it speaks to her heart, buy it. This small studio is one-of-a-kind. Support local art. p.s. I like art that challenges my mind. Max doesn't just do landscapes, he creates really super original works that are made with pure Aloha.

When I called UPS for tracking of one of them they said it was delivered to the post office yesterday at 12:12 PM and signed by employee. Yet the post office denies having it.
