After reading the reviews I was concerned about the hike down. We did it in the early part of May of this year and found it to be a short hike, steep in some places; rocky and rooty in some places, but overall fairly easy. I could, however, definitely see how it might be difficult if wet and muddy. FYI,... More

I spent some time today hunting for the trailhead to Queen's Bath. Thanks to a local resident who saw me wondering near his yard, I was able to find it. Tip for other travelers: Park in the designated parking lot and the trail head is immediately to the right of the lot. The hike down is only about 5-10 minutes... More

If you are into random sights, a little rocky hike and an amazing prize at the end, this is for you. A couple girlfriends and I got to the parking strip and almost turned away, I am so glad we kept going this place is an awesome sight. We took a dip, jumped off the cliff and enjoyed the peaceful...

Its a nice hike off the road you pass a small waterfall than you hit the rocky path on the ocean. Make a right and follow the wall down to the large pool. While we were there the tide was down so swimming in the pool was great. Just check the tide schedule as high tide can ruin your plays... More

We had great weather and we were at Queen's Bath during the safe time of the year (Safe in regards that there were no huge waves that can be present many times during the year and sweep a person into the turbulent ocean if one does not use caution). It is simply a beautiful location. The treasure for us was... More

This is a gorgeous beach and lots of fun to 'rock hop'. I know a lot of people will read the book on all the things to do on Kauai. Queen's Bath and the beach is a definite must see. What people don't take the time to read is "only swim when the ocean is NOT full of waves". I... More

Queen's Bath was the prettiest place on the island. We went there the day we flew out. We didn't expect the hike. It's short, but don't wear flip flops. It's a great place for pictures. We saw turtles playing in the bath, and spotted whales miles out. You have to go here if you're on Kauai.

We went to Queens Bath during low tide and on a relatively calm day with 2-3 foot waves. I had done a lot of research around Queens Bath and was on the fence about going due to the mixed reviews and potential danger. Well after hearing from others in our group that went, we decided to go with our two... More

I live on Kaua'i & I know how dangerous Queen's Bath is and I STILL almost got killed there yesterday. The waves were moderate 6 feet or so & I watched the ocean for over half an hour to get a sense of size and timing before settling into a gorgeous panoramic position to watch the sunset. The rock I... More

We got to Queen's Bath early in the day, about 9:30 before it got busy and before the tide came in. We took a quick dip in the bath and enjoyed watching the sea turtles along the surrounding area. The trail to the bath is well maintained and has a nice little waterfall next to it. I'd recommend getting there... More
