ATV Tours & Off-Road Adventures

All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) and Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) off-road tours are some of the most popular activities to do while visiting Kauai, and there are a number of different options for all ages and experience levels. Depending on your choice of tour, hop on to a multi-passenger Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV) for up to five people, and embark on an Kauai off-road adventure that will last two and half to three hours long. Take your pick from tours that focus on sightseeing and visiting famous movie and television filming locations, or pick the one that will take you to a waterfall where you can swim and splash in the refreshing Hawaiian mountain waters.

• Everyone participating in a Kauai ATV tour will be required to wear secure close-toed shoes. Don't forget to bring your sneakers with you to Kauai! You will also want to be sure to wear clothes that you do not mind getting dirty since the trails can be become quite muddy. The island of Kauai is well-know for being rainy, and even on sunny days, there could be a drizzle.
• Bring a change of clothes with you since your clothing may get dusty or muddy depending on the season. Guests who are using a rental vehicle will definitely want to change since the dust and dirt could stain the vehicle's upholstery.
• ATV tours are one of the most popular activities on Kauai, and are often sold out weeks ahead. Be sure to book in advance to secure your reservation.
• Bring a bottle of water with you since you will be out on open trails for the duration of the tour, and water is not guaranteed while out on an ATV trail.
• Don't forget to bring your sense of adventure with you! These Kauai ATV tours are both fun and exciting, and guests often praise these ATV experiences as the best time they had while visiting Hawaii.

Kauai ATV rentals and tours are primarily located in the southern areas of the island in Lihue and Poipu. Public transportation can be unreliable in these locations, so you will need to have a car rental or arrange for a taxi or rideshare ahead of time. Please keep in mind that if you do use a taxi or a rideshare, be sure to secure and confirm your return transportation at the same time since ATV tour areas are in locations not readily accessed by these services.

Guests staying in both the Lihue or Poipu area will have anywhere from a 15 to 30 minute car drive to their check-in location. For those of you staying in the North Shore areas of Princeville and Hanalei, the ATV tour locations will be 45 minutes to an hour away.
