Princeville Ranch Adventures
Princeville Ranch Adventures offers adventures in Hiking on Kauai's spectacular North Shore in the region of Hanalei. The company was founded by David and Denise Carswell. David was born and raised on the island and his family dates back generations to the early 1800's to one of the original missionaries to come to Kauai, Abner Wilcox. David, having grown up on the island had firsthand knowledge of all the fun Kauai had to offer and through his experience he was able to put together some absolutely spectacular adventures, many of which include hiking, to tantalize the island visitors that he now serves. The Zipline tours are perhaps the cornerstone of his operation and offer an undeniably exciting way to experience the beauty of Kauai's North Shore. Hiking these areas and along its streams rounds out the complete adventure package and its sister company, Princeville Ranch Stables, provides a horseback riding experience as well. The Princeville area of the island is just next to the region of Hanalei and is one of the very most beautiful places to be found on the island.
