The Menehune Ditch is a Historical Territory Landmark of Hawaii. It was a ditch of importance…read morehistorically for irrigation. Menehune (a Hawaiian version of dwarfs or Brownies) are said to have built the ditch by placing the stones that form the ditch wall. I came out this way because the Menehune Ditch sits at the base of a neat lava flow erupted a long time ago. Enjoyable location to take in the geologic sites and learn a little bit of history about the area. Follow the driving directions provided on the website to around mile marker 23 on Menehune Road. The Menehune Ditch and the Waimea Swinging Bridge are right next each other and we ventured on the bridge after exploring the lava flows and ditch. Not too far to go on the bridge, but there is a good view of the water canal. If driving, keep a look out for the bridge on the right when heading up along Menehune Road. We spotted the bridge in the distance and found some space on the side of the road a little bit before the ditch/bridge to pull off and park while we explored.

It's located just off the side of the road and is very easy to get to. The red dirt makes the waterfall very unique.

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!
