Tour Operator: *click to see other tours by them

Take a fun downwind kayak trip on the Huleia River - a beautiful and historic jungle stream. Where the river gets shallow, you'll tie your kayaks to a tree and take a short walk to a gorgeous area of waterfalls and swimming holes. Then, jump onto a covered wagon for a fabulous trip across Kipu Ranch to the Kamapua'a Falls trailhead for a short stroll down to an incredible picnic spot.

Following lunch, you will have the option of taking a wild ride on an 800-foot zipline over a waterfall and river, returning on foot via an 80-foot suspension bridge. From there, continue along the forest trail through the exotic foliage to the gBlue Poolh for swimming, then cruise by covered wagon to a jungle trail, where you'll hike a mile down to a river landing to board a twin-hulled powered Hawaiian canoe for a delightful cruise back downriver.

	The Kayaking: It's a delightful downwind paddle, about 2 miles in length. You will use a two-person, open-cockpit type kayak that is stable, comfortable and easy to get in and out of. You'll go through the Hule'ia Natational Wildlife Refuge, a place for the preservation of endangered Hawaiian water birds.

	The Wagon Ride: Ride on benches in a custom covered farm wagon, pulled by a big, quiet John Deere 4wd tractor. It's an adventure that will take you back in time on a unique narrated hayride across Kipu Ranch, a 4000-acre working cattle ranch. It is home to the paniolo (Hawaiian cowboys) descendants of William Hyde Rice, the first missionary to come to Kauai, and also home to 2000 head of cattle. You will even have the opportunity to spot wild boar, peacocks and pheasants as you traverse the expansive Ranch.

	*The Zipping (Optional):* Take a wild ride on three thrilling 800-foot ziplines over waterfalls and lush rainforests. State-of-the-art equipment and procedures make for a 100% safe and exhilarating "extreme" experience. Folks not zip lining will be transported via wagon to the hiking trailheads.

	The Trekking: You will hike on jungle trails that lead to hidden waterfalls and swimming holes. This nature walk will take you through pristine tropical rain forests containing many different interesting communities of plants, birds, and aquatic life, both native and introduced. You will have the opportunity to stop for dives into beautiful pool-drop waterfalls cascading over black lava rock cliffs, and you can even try the T-Bar Zipline that will have you zipping over the pool so you can splash down!

	The Canoe Ride: On the downriver return trip, you'll be kicking back and soaking up the sun and scenery on their big, double-hulled Hawaiian Canoe. It's 32' long and 10' wide, with plenty of comfortable seating. Powered by a small, quiet 4-stroke outboard motor, you'll be taking a slow, relaxing ride down the river, while enjoying the beautiful sights. A perfect ending to a perfect day!
