The best things to do in Princeville with kids are kayaking at Hanalei and a guided tour of the Princeville Botanical Gardens. The garden tour is the one for every age, a slow walk through rainforest gardens that ends with a tasting of chocolate grown on the property, which is what the kids will remember. Kayaking suits school-age kids who can handle a paddle, with sea turtles to look for, and it is best first thing in the morning before the wind picks up.
