Kipu Ranch ATV Tour – Scenic Ride Through Jurassic Park Film Locations

Kipu Ranch ATV Adventure

Reviewed by: Peggy - World Traveler

one word - AWESOME!
This is a great tour. They have all sorts of ATV that match each person or family's needs. This definitely not for any pregnant or with special health care needs as you do get off the ATV's and hike a bit to a FANTASTIC WATERFALL !!!

They also let you swing off a rope into a fabulous river at one spot.

The tour guides are fun, helpful, informative and very safe conscious. You will get dirty, you will have fun and the views are AMAZING!

Loved every part of it.

Have fun fellow travelers! Safe travels to you!

Kauai Backcountry Treetop Canopy Zipline & Swimming Adventure with Lunch

Outstanding fun

Reviewed by: Oli Lewington

Not only is the zip course beautiful, fun and exciting, it's made hundreds of times better by the staff. We were accompanied by Misty and Alan, both of whom gave us great banter along with awesome local knowledge and support for the more nervous of the group.

They included everyone, made us as a couple feel welcome within a larger group of people who already knew each other and made the whole experience one to truly remember.

I'd recommend it to anyone - even if you're scared it it, it's a must-do on Kaua'i!

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Mountain Tubing Kauai

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Pretty basic tubing ride, no rapids or anything like that, just float down a drainage ditch basically, the staff even calls it the ditch. Kinda stunk, like sewer, or cows or something...Probably great for kids, but for over $100 per person, not the best activity for the money...

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Fantastic, Educational Adventure

Reviewed by: Rob M.

Kayak Kauai Outbound makes this trip an experience not to be missed. Kelly was an extraordinary guide, enthusiastically sharing his knowledge and passion for the land, the local history and ancient culture. He went out of his way to make the hike interactive and interesting. He has a real gift for this. The operation, overall, is very laid back. You're made to feel comfortable with every aspect of the tour. We highly recommend Kayak Kauai Outbound and will surely be returning on our next visit to the island!

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Great time

Reviewed by: Clarke and Robin

We took our family on this tour and are glad we did. The kids both ranked it as one of their favorite activities in Kauai. The staff is friendly and playful. We had a ball with them. Kimo and Melissa were our tubing anchors and they did a great job. If you don't want to get wet and your are worried about your make-up and hair... this tour isn't for you. Great family fun. Would have liked a bit more time at the swimming hole at the end of the tour. We recommend!

We had a great time. The two young tour guides were awsome!!!I would do it again. The veiws were spectacular and the tour was just long enough to keep me going. My recognition goes to the staff. They were funny, entertaining, knowledgeable and made the whole trip. I wish there was an advanced trail for returning visitors.

Kipu Safari Adventure - Zipline, Hike, Kayak & Waterfall Swim with Lunch

Great value for the money & SO FUN!

Reviewed by: Leddon

We had an amazing adventure with the wonderful staff at Outfitters Kauai. The zips were so fun, and we felt very safe. The kayak in was a fun little adventure and the hike in wasn't tough at all. The staff were so wonderful. We felt like there us no way we could have had so much fun for a whole day deal for the price. Nick, Mitch, and Golden were so funny and personable. Bring a camera with a wrist strap, your swim suit for the two swimming holes (one with a mini zip), sunscreen, water shoes, and big spray. Mahalo, Outfitters!! Ya'll are the best!

The information hinted that there would be opportunitie to swim in a pool with a natural waterfall but this did not happen. There was way too much time spent on safety training! Maybe groups could be separated into beginner vs. experienced to avoid this waste of time on the tour?

Kipu Ranch ATV Tour – Scenic Ride Through Jurassic Park Film Locations

Great Afternoon Adventure

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We had the best time on this ATV ride! Saw some beautiful views and our guides were great. Very knowledgeable about the area, as well as very funny. Kept us entertained. My husband and I rented the side by side ATV because I had never ridden on one before and I am glad we did as we went through some muddy parts but was protected by the little side doors. Others on the single ATV's got a little muddy :). It was very bumpy so I wouldn't recommend it to people who have bad backs/necks or who get headaches easily. I also wouldn't recommend it to families with small kids. There were a couple on our tour and they seemed to get bored everytime we stopped so the guides could explain about the history of the land. Definitely worth the price of the tour and maybe next time we will do the all day tour. Highly recommend!

My husband and I went on the ranch tour in a Rhino. We had a great time and I recommend the Rhino for couples because it is so comfortable and you can take pictures while on the move where you cannot on the other machines. The guides were awesome and fun; really great people. I would definately do this again!

Fabulous First Time Experience

Reviewed by: Santhosh

Though it poured down on us heavily, it did not dampen the thrill of the ride. In fact the slippery trail made riding the ATV more adventurous (though not for the back seat passengers). All-in-all it was a fantastic first time experience in a most scenic spot. Mahalo to Rebecca our tour guide!

Our kids might be back when they are ready to drive themselves!

AHHHH!!! So Much Fun!!!

Reviewed by: Ms. Taparra

I wanted to do something different, and ZIPLINING totally did it for me!! The staff was so nice and safety was their number 1 concern! We did several lines of zipping and our last zip was across a waterfall, it was wonderful! There was also a smaller zipline that you can use again and again, to jump into the water.. FUN FUN FUN!

My daughters and I had so much fun, I would definitely do it again and again and again!

WOW.....what an experience!! Not for for preteens or those with great fear of heights. What a rush of excitement on every one of the seven zip lines. The scenery was fantastic, and our guides were both hilarious, and helpful when it came to complete safety.

Kauai Backcountry Treetop Canopy Zipline & Swimming Adventure with Lunch

Extraordinary Ziplining Experience

Reviewed by: Sue O

My family went on the ziplining tour and had a great time. My mom who is 75 years old probably had the best time of all. Our son is the only one who has been ziplining before and he really enjoyed it too.
The guides are very experienced and knowledgable and are very safety conscious.
The group had 11 people in it which was probably the best size to have, did not have to wait too long for your turn. The only bad thing was that in the beginning it was raining lightly so the pics did not turn out the best but as we continued zipping down the mountain the sun poked out in time for us to enjoy a nice picnic lunch in the valley.
The zipline site was unbelievable to see, so green and lush.
I would recommend this tour to everyone! I am afraid of heights but if you do not look down while on the platform your fears do not get to you. I felt very safe in the guides hands.

So much fun!

Reviewed by: Jeff and Tammy

This tour is a lot of fun. The crew is friendly and they make you feel comfortable. The experience was so AWESOME. My husband and I did this tour on our honeymoon and had such a great time. The scenery was beautiful and the tunnels were very cool. We highly recommend this adventure! One thing to note: Wear a long sleeve water shirt if you go during the winter months. The water is really COLD. After a few minutes, you will get use to the water, however, the wind can be a little overwhelming. Regardless, this is a must do activity. We will do it again when we return to the island.

We did the tubing adventure on Thanksgiving morning. It was so much fun. The tubing portion was about an hour and I only wish it was longer. It really was fun!! They put out a nice lunch (make your own sandwich) for us after it was over but I would recommend offering a bit more food. What was offered was very good though. The guides were great and lots of fun. I highly recommend this adventure!!!

カウアイ島 ワイルア川カヤック&熱帯雨林ハイキング <英語ガイド/昼食付き>

It was fun!! 楽しかった!!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

It was my first time kayaking, and it was a lot of fun. We sat in a two-person boat, going upstream for about an hour. Then we walked through the jungle, during which the guide taught us various things. We had lunch in front of a waterfall and then returned to where we started by kayak.

I think it's fine to wear a swimsuit underneath with a shirt and shorts. I would recommend avoiding athletic shoes or flip-flops, as the paths in the jungle are quite muddy and your feet will get messy. We rented sports sandals from the tour company for a fee.

Of course, since the guide speaks only English, I think it would be more enjoyable if you understand English.

カヤックは初めてでしたが、とても楽しかったです。
2人乗りのボートに前後で座って、1時間弱ぐらい上流へ行きます。そのごジャングルの中を歩きながら進みますが、その途中でガイドさんが色々なことを教えてくれます。滝の前で昼食を食べその後カヤックで出発したところに戻ります。
服装は水着を中にきてシャツと短パンでOKだと思います。
運動靴やビーチサンダルは止めておいたほうが良いと思います。ジャングルの中はかなりの泥道で足がぐちゃぐちゃになります。私たちは、お金を払ってツアー会社からスポーツサンダルを借りました。
もちろんガイドさんは全て英語の為英語がわかるほうが楽しめると思います。

Kipu Safari Adventure - Zipline, Hike, Kayak & Waterfall Swim with Lunch

Great Activity

Reviewed by: Jessica

My husband and I were island-hopping on our honeymoon when we participated in the Zipline Safari with Hiking and Kayaking in Kauai. One of our guides said he felt it was his job to make us fall in love with his island, and this tour certainly helped us do that. The price was fair for all of the inclusions of the tour, and the lunch provided was more than enough food. We had never been kayaking, but the river was very smooth and calm, so we were able to keep up and didn't have any issues. The hikes, swimming spots, stories, and "history lessons" were amazing. I have never seen such a beautiful forest. The Zipline was awesome as well and our guides took every safety precaution necessary to make us feel at ease. I would definitely recommend this activity for anyone looking for a more physical adventure. Be sure to wear a bathing suit, sunscreen, and bring hiking sandals or water socks because you should definitely get wet!

Kauai Backcountry Zipline Adventure

Reviewed by: Erlinda D. San Diego, CA

Great time and fun! I was a little nervous at first, but the crew really made me feel safe, and they were all pros at this. Would recommend to anybody. But you do have to be at least 100 lbs, so the little ones can't do this. I would definitely do this again! Also, look for sales. Got this on sale via HawaiiActivities.com for $99.00 plus tax per person. Usually goes for $120-135 per person plus tax. Also, book on-line at least one week before you leave for Kauai.
