Kauai
ATV experience was a first for me ,I was surprised at how comfortable I was. I thought it would be too bumpy but happy it wasn't. We had a rainy time in Kauai so we dressed for a muddy ride. So much fun was had by all. Lunch was also very good. I would suggest wearing a long sleeve shirt and the scarf or bandana around the face. Such a pretty and very informative ride the tour was very interesting. Thanks for the adventure.

This was the most exciting family vacation excursion we have taken. Such a great adventure with great staff. Can’t wait to go again!
Great trip! Perfect conditions for this trip. Scenery was jaw dropping and guides were friendly, knowledgeable, competent and funny as heck! Highly recommend for enjoyable family excursion. Definitely bring your bug spray as the mosquitoes love tourists!
We have been to Hawaii 17 times and been on other ATV tours. This is our favorite tour. We live in Colorado, have our own ATVs and ride them in the Rocky Mountains. Kipu Ranch had new Kawasaki Teryx ATVs which were fun to drive with slippery (in spots) hilly terrain. Nice ride. Friendly capable guides.
I’m not the most in shape person so at first I was nervous about this adventure. I chose a ride with a guide with my husband and it was a great decision. Our guide was incredible and I felt totally comfortable and was able to enjoy everything. I’m so happy I did this adventure and it was a ton of fun, great scenery and a good pace. I highly recommend!
Great tour, beautiful scenery. Our guide was amazing. Tree swing was a highlight with the group...a must do on the island
Our guide Troy was awesome! Very informative. We had a blast and can’t wait to do there other tours next time we are there
Very safe, fun day for the family. You will get dirty and muddy tho so wear dark clothes or ones that you don’t care about. Lunch was yummy and the guides were top notch. I would definitely do this again.
My husband and I had an awesome time with our guides Joshua and Lumbo. They took us on a fun, wild-ride ATV adventure and told us some cool history about the Kipu Ranch, including details about Hollywood movies filmed there. One stop along the route included an opportunity to swing from a rope swing from the same tree (same tree, new rope) Harrison Ford used as Indiana Jones in the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark!
Another stop included a delicious lunch of sandwiches, fruit, chips, cookies, and water. I was impressed with the tablecloths and individually wrapped moist towels (actual towels) handed out to clean off all the dirt on our hands and face from our ride. It was also really interesting to chat with the guides about their lives on the island and pick their brains about Kipu Ranch trivia. Joshua just had his third child last week, and Lumbo has 6 kids!
Our final stop was at a picturesque waterfall where we were all able to swim to the waterfall!
Tips: Wear closed toed shoes you don’t mind swimming in because you must wear shoes in the water. Wear a swimsuit under your clothes if you want to swim at the waterfall or swing on the rope swing into the water. Bring a towel unless you don’t mind air drying. Also, your clothes will definitely get dirty! Keep a change of clothes in the car unless you don’t mind the dirt in your car. In case you’re wondering, the water is definitely cold.
A nice bonus is that the company gives you complementary bandannas to wear over your nose and mouth to keep the dirt out. The bandanna serves as a cool souvenir afterwards! Also, one of our guides, Joshua, was especially gifted at taking cell phone pictures. If you luck out with him as your guide, let him take your pictures!
Loved this place! The sights were great, the guides were super fun. Would just have loved to really rip up the trails in those bad a$$ ATVs a bit more! They need a straight-away where you can really kick up some mud and it would be perfect! Highly recommend!
I had a grand time! The weather was perfect (partly cloudy) and it had rained the day before, so the trail wasn't dusty.
They did a good job teaching us how to drive the ATVs and making sure we were comfortable with the machines.
The guides had great personalities and they wanted to make sure we were having a good time.
Highly recommended. I took the 3-hour tour, which includes the view of Kipu Kai.
We were so impressed with the staff, facilities, equipment and respect for the land at Kipu Ranch Adventures. Our guide Josh and his "tailgunner" Chase did and outstanding job. Josh, though not a native Hawaiian has been on the Island for 18 years and is quite a historian on this region. It was such a pleasure watching his enthusiasm for preserving the history and ambiance of this beautiful land.
The Rice Family who owns this property is blessed to have Kipu Ranch Adventures here to protect this land and inspire each of us to promote the protection of this historical property. Thank you to Kipu Ranch and the Rice Family, we had a wonderful visit and will be back soon.
We saw some beautiful scenery! Breathtaking views for sure! We had a great time for sure!
On this tour my newlywed wife learned how to drive an ATV, a lot about Kaua’i history, and we got to see where Indiana Jones did his famous rope swing. She is now researching new ATV adventures for us to explore. Giggles and Owen were wonderful tour guides and very gracious. We highly recommend this tour.
Big shoutout to the guides, Giggles and Joshua.
At first I was disappointed that I wasn't going to drive a UTV, but our guide made up for it.
It's really cool to see film locations and get some stories.
Had a great time. If you get the chance, go on this tour.
We had such a great time! Joshua and Melissa were the best tour guides we have ever had on the island. Joshua was so knowledgeable, friendly, and very engaging. When we bring our kids back, we definitely would go again and request him as our tour guide. Melissa’s banana bread was super tasty.
What a fun time we had on this tour! So glad we did the earliest time slot available. The weather was perfect, the guides were amazing and so informative, the scenic views at the 5 stops were breathtaking. WOW! Loved this experience so much! Thank you for the wonderful memories Kipu Ranch Tour!
We had a wonderful day. Giggles and Troy were our guides. I recommend this highly!
This was a highlight of my time on Kauai. The tour was fun and entertaining. Between the tour guides the two swimming spots, the ATV trail and the beautiful lands of the ranch this is definitely a must do when on the island.
Everything about this adventure was so incredible! Kipu Ranch is an amazing ranch with an incredible amount of territory to explore! We saw some marvelous sights while covering some exciting terrain (such a perfect combo for a couple consisting of one who likes to hike and one who doesn't; but loves motorcycles/ off-road vehicles).
The employees at the ranch were all kind and helpful. Definitely want to give a huge shout out to our guides; Joshua and Marlin!! They really make this experience special! It was like exploring this new and gorgeous region with a couple of your close friends, They were so kind and considerate of each individual in the group. I especially enjoyed hearing some back-story of this incredible place and the people who made such an impact.
Safety was top notch. Treats were delicious. This adventure left both my husband and I overjoyed!! Thank you so much, Kipu Ranch, for a quality tour/adventure and true ~Aloha~ hospitality and kindness! It really made our trip special!
Josh and Justin are awesome! A lot of fun to be around. Very informative and made everybody feel save. Beautiful scenery and you can’t beat swimming under a waterfall.
This was a great family outing.
Nice equipment
Nice location
Great guides
The all had a wonderful time!
We had a great time with this adventure. The guides told great stories about the land and were great to our kids. Enjoy!
Tour guide Mana was the best! Enjoyed every second of our tour & will highly recommend it! From the water fall to the beautiful views was really memorable. This was my wife & I first outdoor tour together which made it even amazing.
Beautiful scenery, knowledgeable guides, perfect photo ops....HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Conor and Sierra were fantastic guides! They had a lot of jokes and history for us and kept us entertained even between zip lines. The fact that they take care of the braking for you really makes the experience easy to sit back (lean back, fly, go upside down) and enjoy the ride! There are a few steep climbs that most folks will manage but if you have elderly people in the group it might be a bit much for them. I want to go back and do their ATV adventure next! Warning: Conor might take some selfies with your camera ;) but they do take their own pictures of you along the way and they were really great so we purchased them at the gift shop afterwards.
An awesome experience! Thank you Big Rob and Ryan (our tour guides)!
Must do island activity. The guides were awesome and a lot of fun.
Seriously the most amazing trip ever! The guides were so informative, and we loved learning all about the history of Kauai & the ATV’s we’re beyond fun! Definitely a must to do here!
Beautiful scenery,great guides, fun trails and interesting stories. Don't miss it!
