Description
Explore south shore's rugged terrain from makai to mauka with Kauai ATV tours, and experience the sites and sounds of flora and fauna from arid farmland to lush tropical forest. You will ride along old plantation roads, and drive to a historic tunnel dug into the mountains to transport the sugar cane to the Koloa Mill. Kauai ATV has become Hawaii's premiere tour for off road adventures!
Take an adventure through 15 miles of diverse off-road trails that will take you through a working plantation on Grove Farm lands. Your 3-hour journey begins near the old Koloa Sugar Mill, to the entrance of a half-mile long cane haul tunnel, and then on to a remote windswept ocean coastline of Mahaulepu for some incredibly scenic vistas at the top of sea cliffs. Brief stops along the way will highlight famous movie sites, panoramic views and snapshots of Kauai's rich history. Stop for about 20 minutes at the Waipa Resevoir, the largest on the island, and even try your hand at some catch-and-release "bamboo pole" bass fishing!
Kauai ATV recently upgraded their fleet and now uses high-end 4-seat Polaris RZR's for all of their tours!

Kevin's Activity Tips:
ATV tours do not require previous experience and these vehicles are really easy to operate. After five minutes on an ATV most people are zipping around without a care. There is no shifting to worry about and you'll be amazed at how stable these vehicles are. Yes, ATV tours are expensive ... and I can tell you why. I've been in the garages of all of these ATV tours and a great deal of time and expense is involved with properly maintaining these machines. Your tour will also include a very low guest-to-guide ratio with a guide in the front and another in the back of your group (and typically a maximum of 8 riders in between). While these rides are suitable for people with no previous riding experience, please don't interpret this as an implication that it is impossible for you to get hurt riding an ATV. These are moving vehicles, and while accidents are rare, they do happen. If you are a complete KLUTZ or know you have poor reaction times or are especially "vehicle challenged" then perhaps this isn't the best tour for you. But the vast majority of people are capable of driving these machines ... they have about the same number of controls as a riding lawn mower.
Kauai ATV's Backroads Adventure tour is the longest ATV ride I know of in the state of Hawaii. The scenery along the Mahaulepu coast is wild and windswept, with unique sandstone formations carved by the crashing of powerful waves generated by South Pacific storms, and etched in unusual ways from the effects of salt spray. This tour highlights the best of the history and beauty of Kauai's south shore.
