This planned community situated on Kauai’s north shore is best known for its luxury homes that look out over the gorgeous landscape.
While it isn’t as sunny or hot as the South Shore, Princeville gets about 85 inches of annual rainfall, and is the reason why Kauai is often referred to as the Garden Isle.
It’s also home to the only tropical rainforests in the U.S., making it a popular film location for movies like Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones.
In addition, it’s full of exciting activities for visitors of all ages and interests to enjoy!
Some of these include flying above the treetops on a zipline, riding a horse to a spectacular waterfall, enjoying a round of golf at the Makai Golf Club, or taking a helicopter tour for some of the best views of the island.
