Kauai ATV Tours

A must do in Kauai! The employees were all great and funny. Our guide, Ezra, was funny and informative. ATV’s were easy to drive. Highly reccomend wearing shirts and shorts they offer you to wear over your your own clothes. YOU WILL GET REALLY MUDDY. Wouldn’t have it any other way. The trick to the fun is to drive thru where all water and deep muddy spots are on the road. At the end of the trail was a beautiful double waterfall to wash off and bathe in and have lunch. Saw some incredibly beautiful scenary that you wouldn’t be able to see any where else. Best part of our vacation!

My family and I really loved this ATV tour! We went pretty fast, over a lot of bumps, and through lots of puddles! Needless to say, we all ended up really muddy at the end! The beginning was kind of slow. Not a huge fan of all of the stops that we took to go through the bunkers and all of that, but I guess that’s just part of the tour. Halfway through, we stopped at a waterfall where we jumped in from the top of a 10−12ft waterfall and then had a late lunch. It was a lot of fun! Our guides, Landon & Evan, were awesome! Oh, and lunch was pretty good! Make sure to wear water shoes, a bathing suit, and clothes that you don’t mind getting super duper dirty! Overall, loved this ATV tour!

Surprisingly this was not really my favorite activity during my honeymoon last month. My wife and I were pretty excited for this excursion but unfortunately it just was not as fun as we thought that it would be. Starting out it was really fun driving the cars but then after a while it just got pretty boring and dust was getting all in my eyes. The tour guides were pretty cool but I thought that all of the picture-​taking was taking time away from the tour. The waterfall was a cool experience but I think it was just too much driving which made the experience not as pleasing.

Awesome tour! Highly recommend doing this! I definitely would do again! Thanks Evan for making this fun and informative!

This was our first family vacation to beautiful Hawaii. We were excited to learn about this ATV tour which included swimming at a waterfall and a packed lunch. It was an hour long drive from our hotel on the North side of the Island but definitly worth it.
Check in was easy and there were food trucks to keep us energized outside. Our tour was scheduled for noon but we didn’t get up and running until almost one pm which was a bit of a bummer. The scenery was perfect and we got plenty dirty from the mud puddles.
The tour and the guides Eko and Kalena were fantastic. We were forced to make several stops which put us an hour behind schedule because of the non-​cooperative group we were with. Some drivers refused to listen to the rules and started an argument with our tour guides. The guides were very professional and maintained their composure.
All in all, the tour was awesome ((great scenic views, lots of mud, and a wonderful staff)) and we definitly recommend it to all visitors want to explore the island of Kauai.

We Took the waterfall tour today and it was truly AWESOME ! The guides Evan and Jake made this trip absolutely fun and fact filled, In the words of my 5 year old Son today… «THIS IS THE BEST RIDE EVER ». I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you come to Kauai this should be at the top of your list to do. Thank you Evan and Jake for doing a awesome job. We will definitely be back and take this tour again.

Definitely a must! We booked it for my son’s 5^th bday and had to reschedule several times. They were accommodating and easy to get ahold by phone and email. Our guides Landon and Kahea were friendly and knowledgeable. They took a lot of photos of the whole group.
My son is Mr. Clean and had wanted to do the Atv from last year. He didn’t know he needed to «get dirty». He got so dirty, he cried about how dirty and muddy he got. We ordered a white long sleeve tee that said Birthday Boy on it. It was filthy by the time we were done.
Takeaways:
1. Use their clothes! If you’re visiting the island, you do not want to go back to your hotel to wash the mud off. It was pretty thick.
2. Bring a 2 gallon or larger zip lock bag for your valuables/​bag if you plan to take it on the ride. There is no where to hide your stuff from the mud. It gets everywhere.
3. Buy your swim shoes before your trip. It costs about $ 10 – 12 if you buy it at the shop. You’ll need it for the waterfall.
4. Do bring 3 canned foods for their food drive and receive $ 10 off the thumb drive of your ride. There’s a grocery store around the corner.
5. Wear a swimsuit under your clothes. The waterfall at the end of the road was refreshing and it was nice to get all that mud off for a little while.
Being local, I thought this was an expensive activity. But, it’s well worth it if you break it down to what’s being offered.
Hope you have a great ride and don’t forget to «do something dirty»!!

This was a horrible waste of time & money. The ATV’s were in poor condition, the tour guides were unprofessional & uninteresting & there were too many stops. The guides wanted to take photos to sell at the end so we kept stopping. We just wanted this tour to be over.

I have done the Kipu tour a couple of times and it is, by far, the better run organization. The trip started with a boring guide going endlessly over rules, wasting our time trying to insert humorous comments. You had to wait for people to change their clothes, wait for one person to choose helmets for each person. The goggles were recycled from the group earlier in the day. They were rinsing them and shaking the water off, as we watched (how much could it cost to have one for every person touring in one day?!). Wearing wet goggles… yuck! I didn’t expect this 45 min to be part of our «4 hour tour». I have never been on a tour that didn’t have multiple people helping customers get gear. I’ve never been on a tour that didn’t provide a protective bag for you to carry extra items in.
The buggies looked older, but seemed in decent shape. They were super fun to drive. The scenery was beautiful, the waterfall was fantastic, the lunch decent, and driving through the tunnel and walking in the ww2 bunker fun. The tour guide was a little unprofessional and completely bored with tour information. He actually said «yada-​yada» twice vs elaborating on his topic. It’s sad when you have the opportunity to create a fabulous experience for people and you can’t be bothered.

We did lots of activities and tours in kauai. This was hands down the worst tour we did. The atvs were really out dated. You probably never go over 10 Mph once on the entire tour. At the begging they told us that if we don’t get dirty, then something is wrong with us, which got me and my wife excited. But on the entire tour there’s only one spot that you could really get dirty or wet. And when me and my wife went through that spot a little faster then others just to try to get dirty, we got warned for going to fast?!? So do they not want you to get dirty then. The only people I would recommend this tour to would be for people over 50 or any one that has kids under the age of 10 since the kids might like it. The waterfall/​pond was probably the only nice thing but there is so much more to see on the island. Don’t waste your money!!!

We went to Kauai ATV, had a fantastic time. Evan was our guide in our small group, and he was great! We did the shortest trip which was three hours long. They have two and four person buggies, I suggest the two! Great time!

Awesome time with me and my twin 5 year olds. Totally worth it and waterfall was really nice. Great change of scenery to see another side of Kauai and get dirty at the same time. Great fun!

This was an amazing tour! Our guieds Ona and Robert were so cool! We got dirty, learned fun facts about Kauai, saw beautiful sights! I would totally recommend this tour! The mud bugs were fun to drive and ride in!
Pro tips: They give you shirt and shorts to borrow so you don’t have to worry about getting your own clothes dirty but bring shoes that you don’t mind getting muddy and wear a swim suit under your clothes so you can swim in the waterfall!

It was me and my boyfriends first time doing an ATV tour and our first time on the island, that being said we did a few other tours in our vacation and this was our least favorite! The ride is bumpy, dirty and fun which is awesome! The tour guides not so much. We had Robert and Bree as our guides he didn’t seem to know much about the island it was more like he was given a script and was simply reading through the lines, yeah he’s a funny guy at times but most of the time just not professional at all. Bree was just there I mean really she didn’t say much, to be honest she looked bothered by Robert the entire time! I guess they just woke up on the wrong side of the bed that morning. Lunch was great those macadamia nut cookies are awesome and the sandwich is delish! Overall we gave just 3 stars due to our tour guides.

The Kauai ATV Tour company was a four-​star, but our guide, Kalena, deserves five-​stars. She was perfect for us, as she was personable and could read our group well. She knew we weren’t a bunch of wusses and fed into our adrenaline junky mode we were craving to satiate so much on our trip to Kauai.
The prices were a little steep, but we knew it would be with the nature of the activity, the liability, and the maintenance needed to keep the equipment going. The lunch was also a nice bonus! We would have probably given a five-​star if a new shirt was included in the tour. It just seemed stingy not to give the memento with the price.
Overall, the grounds were beautiful and the tour itself was top-​notch, thanks again to our hired hostess with the mostest, Kalena.

This activity was supppper great. My husband and I did ziplining, snuba, catamaran and this atv adventure, and the atv adventure was definitely the most fun we had on the island! I would highly recommend this to people who are adventurous and don’t mind getting dirty! But getting dirty and filthy are half the fun because half way through you get to go to the waterfall and have lunch and jump in and clean off. I would do it again in a heart beat.
However, I did learn that if you take the second tour of the morning, you will likely get to drive the NEW atv’s they bought. We took the 8am session and drove their older models, but they still kicked ass and we had fun.

This ATV tour was one of the highlights of our trip! It was super rainy and muddy that day, but we just rolled with it and had a great time. Eric was our guide and you can tell he’s been doing this a long time. I found him very funny and engaging, (but no, he doesn’t know everything about the island… especially when he said that 17 bunkers were built after Pearl Harbor).
The check in process is kind of long, but once you get in your buggy you get to see 24 miles of the island! It’s so lush and tropical, and we saw wild cows, pigs, and chickens. The waterfall stop is very unique, and I recommend taking advantage of jumping in from the one rock.
It’s not too extreme, but we definitely had some exciting turns and fishtails. The only bad part is the mud spraying in your face/​goggles. At one point I could barely see!
Overall super fun and highly recommend!

Killer experience! Our tour guide Keola was knowledgeable and funny. Book with him if you get a chance. They give you clothes to wear if you don’t want to get your clothes dirty and they provide lunch. Bring your water shoes or buy them there for $ 12. The scenery is unbelievable… just beautiful. I just wish there was more mud but nonetheless, we had a blast!

Very nice tour and an enjoyable experience! Friendly and informative tour guide, our tour guide was Bree. Very hilarious! A few hours of trail riding amongst breath the taking scenery. We stopped at a gorgeous water fall for lunch. I highly recommend Kauai atv tours!
A+++

My one star rating is soley due to our ATV tour guides. You ride in 2 or 4 person mud buggies, and they don’t go very fast. You check-​in at the office & then take a short drive to where the ATVs are. When we checked in at the office, we weren’t offered the bandanas, so some of us were suffering with all the dirt in our noses and mouths. My husband and I actually ripped his under shirt for a bandana or we wouldn’t have lasted the whole tour.
I don’t remember the names of our tour guides, but it was a young guy and woman. They weren’t enthusiastic and didn’t communicate much knowledge throughout the tour. Most of the time I feel the woman was making information up and had the attitude «they’ll never know the difference.» On one of our stops, one tour guide told the other «take group pics» and he replied with «I’m tired.» He lazily got up and barely took pics. After the tour, you head back, shower, change, and then you get view your group pictures back in the office you checked in at. Yeah… the pictures were CRAPPY! There were a lot where the tour guide only got the front of the ATV or the back. Some didn’t even include all the mud buddies in the group.
I’ve been on ATV tours on other islands and they were a million times better, and you ride on actual ATVs, not mud buggies. This tour would be good if you have kids and want to drive the 4 person mud buggy because the tour is pretty laid back.
I do not recommend this place.
