Park at the small lot that is easy to find in the Princeville Resort area. We hiked down in water shoes which was okay- a little slippery but not particularly dangerous. We intended to snorkel/swim but on arrival realized that it would be foolish to even try it. It is a cool place to view the ocean and its power... more

After reading about Queen's Bath - I knew I just had to venture down there. Well, it was a hike to get there - not that it was long but the path was not what you would call easy walking - We were weariing flip flops and when I think back we were lucky that we made it there and... more

This is a beautiful little hide away (although, it's not that private anymore). The parking is just a little lot on the side of the road, and be very careful because you WILL get towed if you park in the wrong place. You should definetely wear tennis shoes.. flip-flops aren't that safe with the roots and sharp rocks. You also... more

My husband and I were just there on June 27th and all was calm in the area. We dipped in the bath, along with about 10 other individuals. The hike down wasn't bad, but would be slippery and treacherous if raining out. There was a sign that warned of dangerous sudden rogue waves that have swept and killed 28 lives... more

Awesome!

I went here for the first time June 14th, 2009. I've been to Kauai several times before and regret not knowing about this place sooner! It is an easy and beautiful hike down to Queen's Bath. We walked a little further down to a better spot for swimming. There were 4 of us who went down there and we got... more

My husband and I went there on our last day in Kauai. We asked our valet guys for directions and they said they wouldn't tell us becuase it was too dangerous. We found it anyway and nearly got swallowed by a huge wave. (luckly I held on to the side of the rock wall so I didn't get swept out... more

WARNING: Do not swim in Queen's Bath during the fall and winter. I'm not even sure about the summer...I heard it can be dangerous then too. Many people have died there. My wife and I almost died there last week....we barely made it out alive. The only thing that saved us was being next to the rocks so we could... more

When I went to Queens Bath it was in the summer; the sea was pretty calm that day. Just small waves would come in the pool making a little waterfall. I have seen this coast in the winter and it is completely different and very extremely dangerous. I saw waves and felt wind like I have never seen. I did... more

This is one of the most dangerous locations for drownings in Kauai. The waves are so large they will come right out of the water and take you from where you walk. Do not go there. more

Very cool!

Queen's Bath was a very cool thing to see and swim in, and the views down there are amazing! The hike down though, is not an easy hike. I would highly recommend wearing good shoes, like hiking sandals with grip (e.g. Chacos or Tevas) or tennis shoes. At times the trail is steep and you're navigating over tree roots, rocks,... more
