Hanalei Bay! There is a tiki bar there called Tahiti Nui - good pizza and drinks. Sometimes they have live hawaiian music in the evenings.
And hiking on the (Napili Coast) Kalalau Trail.

Thanks for the suggestions!

These are the places that I visited and I am so happy we did.
We went to Waimea Canyon, take your time getting up there, the roads are steep curvy and narrow. All the way to the top there are numerous view points, all worth a stop, and there are hikes if you're into that too.
There is a coffee plantation called Kauai coffee company I think close to princeville, there is a free tour and free coffee tasting of about 20 different coffees.
Shipwreck beach, nice spot for a walk. Down the road was the "sink hole" (Makauwahind cave) just beyond that there was a Tortoise sanctuary!!!! For me 100% worth the hike/walk down to check those both out.
Poipu beach is popular.
Hanalei bay, was amazing.
There is a little church Wai'oil' Hui'ia that was cute. Hanalie Pier is really nice, great views and there is a big drive up beach there.

Thank you so much for the detailed suggestions

Exploring Kauai, Hawaii: A Paradise Awaits
Aloha! You're in for a treat as you embark on your adventure in the beautiful Garden Isle of Kauai. With your rental car, you'll have the freedom to explore this tropical paradise at your own pace. Here are some recommendations to make the most of your time in Princeville and beyond.
Princeville and the North Shore
Since you'll be staying in Princeville, you'll have easy access to the stunning North Shore. Here are some must-visit spots:
- Queen's Bath: A natural tide pool surrounded by lava rock formations. Be cautious during high surf conditions.
- Hanalei Bay: A picture-perfect crescent-shaped beach with turquoise waters and lush mountains as a backdrop. Ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing.
- Kilauea Lighthouse: Offering breathtaking views of the Napali Coast, this historic lighthouse is a popular spot for whale watching (during the winter months).
South and West Sides
Take a scenic drive along the southern and western coasts to discover more natural wonders:
- Waimea Canyon: Often called the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific," this vast canyon offers stunning vistas and hiking trails.
- Poipu Beach: A family-friendly beach with calm waters, perfect for snorkeling and spotting Hawaiian monk seals.
- Kokee State Park: Offering a refreshing respite from the heat, this park is home to hiking trails, waterfalls, and scenic lookouts.
Adventure and Cultural Activities
Kauai offers a wealth of adventure and cultural experiences:
- Napali Coast Boat Tour: Admire the majestic cliffs and sea caves along the Napali Coast from the water.
- Kauai Backcountry Adventures: Embark on guided tours to explore the island's interior, including hiking, kayaking, and ziplining.
- Smith's Tropical Paradise: Experience an authentic Hawaiian luau with traditional music, dance, and delicious local cuisine.
No matter what you choose to do, Kauai will leave you in awe of its natural beauty and rich culture. Enjoy your stay and embrace the aloha spirit!
