The Kayaking: It's a delightful
downwind paddle, about 2 miles in length. You'll use a two-person, open-cockpit
type kayak – 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.
Then, paddle pass the Alekoko (Menehune) Fishpond, a living archaeological site- it's an example of the ancient's fishing and aquiculture methods that's still utilized today. The backdrop of your adventure is the magnificent Haupu Mountain Range, a dramatic and majestic 2000-foot shield volcano that looms over the river. Huliea has been the site of filming for a wide range of major motion pictures, including Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, and its sequel Lost World. |

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's home to the paniolo (Hawaiian cowboys) descendants of William Hyde Rice, the first missionary to come to Kauai, and, incidentally, 2000 head of cattle. Bound for Kipu Falls, you'll be spotting wild boar, peacocks and pheasant as you traverse the expansive Ranch. |

The Trekking: You'll hike
on three different jungle trails, leading to hidden waterfalls and swimming
holes. Each of the treks is conducted as a nature walk, through pristine
tropical rain forests containing many different interesting communities
of plants, birds, and aquatic life, both native and introduced.
You'll be stopping for dives into beautiful pool-drop waterfalls cascading over black lava rock cliffs, and exciting swings on ropes tied to tree branches high over mountain pools, while trekking through fern forests and flowering gingers. |

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! |
