Provided by Graham Ashford, a former Princeville resident, professional photographer and artist.

Join us for a bird's eye tour of our Garden Island.   

 

The beautiful albatross, with their 6' wingspan, come to our Island each year to nest, mainly in Princeville and Kilauea.      

                                                    

Also in Princeville is the world class Hanalei Bay Resort.

Driving down from Princeville over the Hanalei Bridge. One of the most famous one way bridges on Kauai, it spans the world heritage Hanalei River. 

 

View of Hanalei valley and bay from the mountain.  This is a wonderful  hike that starts in the National Wildlife Preserve in Hanalei.  Below is the Hanalei Waioli Mission Church.  Built in 1834, this Church is the inspiration not only for prayers but also painting and pictures.                                        

 

Mountains with waterfalls.

  

 

 

Hanalei Bay and Pier. Where else can you find such breathtaking scenery? 

      

The historic sailing canoe, the Hokulea, visits Hanalei Bay.

                       

From the peaks of Bali Hai, to canoe races in the summer and on to Hanalei Beach Park, beauty abounds.

  Sundays during the summer, you can take in a Polo game at the Anini Polo Field.     You will also  find some of the calmest snorkeling water across the road at Anini Beach.     

  The  Kilauea Lighthouse and 

Kilauea Falls.  

 

   Anahola Church nestles in front of  "King Kong" Mountain in Anahola.  If you click on the picture below to enlarge it, you will see King Kong sitting here, surveying everything in his sight.  

   

These delicate orchids grow wild throughout the Island.
