Outfitters Kauai Zipline Trek Adventures at Kipu Ranch

Zip lining was a blast

Reviewed by: Rob

A great time zooming down the zip lines. The first one was a bit of a leap of faith but afterwards it was a lot of fun. Highly recommend an adventure zip lining. And our guides were fun and entertaining.

Secret Kauai Waimea Canyon & Coastlines Private Island Tour with Optional Hike

Sean is the best tour guide we've ever had!!!

Reviewed by: Mann Ohana

My family (wife and 2 daughters, ages 9 & 11) ands I had an absolutely amazing day with Sean touring the west side of Kauai!! We went into the Waimea Canyon and also spent time in Hanapepe, the Kauai Coffee Plantation, the Warehouse for lunch (and shopping...), and even met some friendly chickens (Sean's friends) and enormous sea turtles on Poipu beach! A truly amazing day, all thanks to Sean! He is not only incredibly knowledgable about all things Hawaii (and especially Kauai), but he was a total pleasure to be with and chat with, and he catered to our every need (timing, logistics, tour, drinks/snacks, pics, bathroom breaks, etc.). We definitely look forward to seeing Sean again to tour the rest of the island and will for sure recommend him to everyone we know!! Mahalo!

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim

Awesome Experience/Thank you Jeffrey

Reviewed by: Barbie n Ken

This was one of the best (if not THE best) Hawaii adventure we've been on yet. Paddling and steering the kayak was definitely difficult for us older newbies, but we were able to figure it out and not capsize.
Our guide Jeffrey was very experienced and showed great patience with the group; we felt like he was one of the reasons we enjoyed the experience so much.
Thanks again for the memories...

The tour was a great way to see the southern part of the island and learn a lot of history about the island. Our guide, Rosario, was great. He was knowledgeable, friendly and answered all our questions. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Outfitters Kauai Zipline Trek Adventures at Kipu Ranch

Educational and exciting fun for most ages

Reviewed by: Eric D

Our guides, Haylen and Tanner were kind knowledgeable and fun to work with the zip lines were a blast and the water at the swimming spot was refreshing after standing in all that gear for a while every line was different and had a beautiful view of the landscape. I only wish I could share the video to really show the experience. My wife and I loved it. Not for the feeble some hiking is involved. Honestly I wish there was one more line or a little more time at the swimming spot

Aloha Utahan,

Like others who have had the good fortune to be in the company of Izzie, your guide Izzy has a growing fan club.

If Izzy knew it, she could fast become an influencer.

Seriously, Izzy has raised the bar for all guides plying the Wailua River on their way to enjoying the Sacred/Secret Falls.

Thanks for taking the time and Mele Kalikimaka e Hau'oli Makahiki Hou,

I was extremely nervous due a life long crippling fear of heights, but due to the amazing guides Hillary and Taelen I had the time of my life!

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

Loved the inner tubing adventure!

Reviewed by: Evelyn

On the way to the site we learned about the history of the sugar plantation and what is happening with that area now, which is terrific. The 3 supervising folks were very supportive and fun. Most of the trip was in the tunnels, which was very interesting as well, and not scary like I thought it might be..the headlamps were essential! It was certainly a different way to experience Kauai!

Kauai Tubing Tour

Reviewed by: LB

Mahalo- First of all this tubing activity was a blast! Safety Equipment was provided-helmets w/lights and gloves - croc water shoes as well if you didn’t bring your own-
All crew members were fun, engaging and helpful.
The tubing experience was a comfortable leisurely ride with a few long rides through several dark tunnels (lights on the helmets made it perfect and added a bit more fun)
Lunch after was tasty, with a self-made sandwich ingredients.
My only negative was the picture taking results - if you are a couple or group make sure you are joined together or you’ll get other guests mixed in with your pictures.
Have fun!

Kipu Ranch Kauai ATV Tour with Waterfall Swim - Triple Trail Expedition

Rain made better puddles to splash through!

Reviewed by: Brittany

So much fun! The views were amazing! My husband was like a kid on Christmas morning driving around in the mud. It down poured right before we left making extra big puddles to splash though. We enjoyed the puddles more than the dust. The guides were fun, engaging, knowledgeable, and made a safe and fun environment. This is very much an off road adventure. If you’re expecting a calm drive through the park, this is not for you.

Aloha Jen,

Your kind review almost fell through the crack (if truth be told was trekking in Peru). Back to work.

Will share your kind review with Jeffrey. Your guide Jefferey is calm, collected and informative without loosing that sense of fun and safety.

We are getting the kayaks and personnel ready for your visit.

Thanks for recommending us.

Reviewed by: Beth

I thought everything and everyone was very organized. Staff friendly and informative.
The two guys that took us on the zip line trip made sure that we felt comfortable and safe.
Since this was my first time I was pretty scared but they were very encouraging. I’m glad there were 7 lines. It gave me a lot of opportunities to feel more comfortable.
The swimming hole was refreshing and lunch was good.

Awesome float trip!

Reviewed by: Nancy S

Hema was our guide and she was so much fun. Not only did she make us laugh and feel comfortable, but also informed us of the history of the sugar cane industry and the history of the island itself.

There was so much information give all while floating down the lazy river. My husband does not like water but really enjoyed this. They provided us croc shoes which were adequate but I wish I had decided to take my own water shoes just for comfort.

Everyone had fun and lunch was enjoyable even for me (celiac). It was something I would suggest everyone do. A moderate amount of fitness is suggested... I am older and a little overweight but had no problem with this tour.

So much fun and thanks to the group we were with. They were all really fun!
