    This experience was better than expected. The view was out of this world. Tulasi is a wonderful teacher - her sequencing was intentional and creative. Communication to find parking and directions was clear and concise. I would 10/10 recommend this experience and can’t wait to do it again.

    Yoga was incredible. Tulasi is so soothing and allowed us to truly experience the beauty and sensations of our environment. We felt stretched and strong afterwords. We are only visiting, but if we are ever lucky enough to return we would gladly take this class again!

    Sunset golf cart tour
    We absolutely had a wonderful time on the sunset golf cart tour. Randy, our guide, was exceptional. He provided us with humor, great knowledge of the course and it’s surroundings. My husband is a golfer, and we truly appreciated the beautiful scenery and depth of the course and tour. We highly recommend this fun tour!

    Sunrise Yoga
    Sunrise Yoga with Tulasi is an amazing experience. I was a bit apprehensive since I had never taken a yoga class other than in the comfort of my home. Her practice was gentle, welcoming and authentic to the beauty that just pours from the sky, the earth, the ocean and mountains that envelop the class. It will heal your mind, body and soul.

    Beautiful, scenic family fun Golfcart tour!
    We took the 4:15-6:15 golf cart sunset tour, hosted by Andrew, and loved it! Our 7-person family (ages 11, 15, 42, 46, 46, 73, 73) joined about 13 other people for a tour around Makai Golf Course, stopping periodically to take in the spectacular Hanalei Bay and ocean views. Andrew was very personable, funny, and informative! It made for a beautiful 2-hour activity, and filled our phones and photo albums with great shots of one of the most scenic courses in the world!

Had a wonderful, calming 1.5 hour yoga session in a beautiful setting listening to the birds, the waves. Our instructor Tulasi was wonderful. We even saw whales when turning toward the ocean. Wish I could practice yoga there daily.

Beautiful, fun course. The challenge is the length and water on a number of holes. The course is in good shape, but greens could use some work. Draw backs are price and first tee time not until 8am. There is a package deal if you are hete for awhile

We enjoyed a scenic walk on the Lakes Course. A beautiful course with views from the Hanalei Mountain Range to Kilauea Lighthouse. Lindsay was an awesome guide. Recommend you start your day with this wonderful walk.

We saw this last year when we were here, and made sure we did it this year! We are so glad we did! Michelle was our instructor and it was perfect for all levels!! It is held on the most beautiful spot on the island! ( we think) and we even saw whales during the class! Highly recommend!

I did the Wednesday afternoon scramble. They put this together very well. The course was in great shape and the views from the course were incredible. Best views I have seen on any golf course anywhere. We also did the evening golf cart tour. That was one of the highlights of the trip for my wife.

What a wonderful way to begin our day. Beautiful teacher, wonderful class, and the most spectacular scenery and views that anyone could hope for at the yoga site. On the 7th hole on the (gorgeous) Makai Golf Course in Princeville Kauai : )

For the ultimate yoga experience try the Sunrise Yoga class on Monday and Wednesday mornings at 0730. It is an all level class led by Tulasi Adeva, who is a great practice leader. There is nothing like starting the morning with a yoga practice while watching the sun rise and light up Bali Hai. You are out on a the furtherest point on the golf course surrounded by the crashing sea, whales spouting and jumping close to shore and albatross and shearwaters soaring overhead.

If you are lucky, a rainbow (or two or three) may light up the sky as happened to me. My wife and I have made this part of our vacation routine and look forward to doing it all over again next year.

Aloha DOstrye, We would like to share a BIG MAHALO to you for your very heart felt review of your recent "Sunrise Yoga" experience at Princeville Makai Golf Club! As you mentioned in your very thorough review, Tulasi is a wonderful instructor and the setting truly might be the best yoga studio in the world! With the waves crashing below, the north shore mountains staring you down, and our endangered wildlife flipping and flying all around it is a very memorable moment! We look forward to having you back for another sunrise yoga lesson soon! Mahalo Nui Loa #YogaMakai

In 40 years of golfing courses all over, this is my favourite for an all round golf experience - gorgeous course, lots of challenge, wonderful variety, spectacular views, great service, perfect greens and bunkers but playable rewarding you for making great shots. I could play this course every day all year long - and in Kauai you can.

This is supposed to be the #1 golf course in Kauai. I understand Covid is a serious problem, but what does that have to do with not supplying waters to the players?! I mean they put ice in the coolers, so they had to touch the coolers….. I was a rider for $45 and my husband & 16 year old son played. My son was half of my husband. All together it was around $450. We played Poipu 2 days ago & with 2 carts had 8 waters total.
The bag drop guy from Connecticut was pretty rude! Came straight up to our car rushing us. My husband had not changed into his golf shoes. Meanwhile our 16 yr old had taken the car to the parking area. Husband had to walk back to get his shoes. The older guy from Connecticut told me lots of people out here play with no shoes?!?! WTH
I don’t care what others do, we are wearing shoes. While my son was taking the cart to find my husband who was getting his shoes, the guy from Connecticut said my son was supposed to check in with him and then get a cart. Again WTH…he did! The Connecticut guy just forgot to write down the golf cart number.
Our tee-time was 1:00. At 12:40 he said we were up next. Ok well, my family is practicing for the few minutes we had left. Rushing us to the tee is not ok! Needless to say we were on the Teebox before 1:00. Felt rushed bc they want carts back at 4:35. They also wanted you to bring your cart back to a different spot at drop off meaning you had to carry your clubs to the car a good ways. This is not OK. This is supposed to be first class service at a top-notch golf course, and we did not get that. We played Ocean course & played Poipu & would choose those again over playing here. No cart girl for drinks/snacks. My 16 year old was $37 at the Ocean Course. $117ish here. No one at the start to tell us or give us any advice on any of the holes. Never again:(
