👍👍 We LOVED this ATV adventure! Out of the 3 excursions we went on during our stay on Kauai this was BY FAR our FAVORITE! Upon arrival check-in is easy. They escort your group to a picnic table with a basket of locally made and delicious individual bags of granola and some much needed Kipu Ranch Bandan...

Flyin Hawaiian Zipline

High ropes course

👍👍 So much fun in every way. We felt totally safe and well taken care of by the four young men who took care of us at the 1:00 scheduled trip on Monday, May 9th. They were extremely professional, informative and totally respectful to us “older” women and the other couple who were with us.The zips wer...

Hanakāpīʻai Falls

Hiking area

👍👍 Started the hike at 7am (the earliest shuttle left at 630). Made it back to the shuttle at 230pm. Definitely took my time with rest stops at Hanakapi'ai beach and lots of time at the falls swimming and drying off. Bring lots of water and snacks cause it's a long day. There's a bathroom at the start...

Mt. Olomana Trail (Three Peaks)

Hiking area

👍👍 Jan 2023 Olomana Ridge complete review! Nutshell: This is a increasingly steep climb, a real leg burner workout to get to the top, but views are incredible if you can get past last 200 feet of exposure at end. Parking: You need to walk 3/4 of a mile to get to the trailhead. Thats a fact. No closer...

Puʻu O Hulu (Pink Pillbox) Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 Went on a sunset hike up this mountain. It is rated as a moderate hike and it really is! Thankfully it is not too long; just over a mile. We saw mountain goats on the way up. The sunset was truly spectacular! Would highly recommend it. Please bring a flashlight for obvious reasons!

KOS Tours

Tour operator

👍👍 Amazing experience for Lost fans. You'll be brought to key filming locations. Like we have, the island has changed over time; recognisable landmarks have either aged or been modified. But that doesn't make the experience any less rewarding. One recommendation: schedule a separate trip to Papa'lloa B...

Keonehe'ehe'e Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 As mentioned in the other comments , we highly recommend being hitched hiked to the visitor center at the top of Haleakala from the Halemauu Trailhead parking. The first 10 km of the hike is very reminiscent of a trip to Mars. There are few flowers in that region that only bloom every 50 years so it...

Hosmer Grove Trailhead

Hiking area

👍👍 Nice quaint trail with tons of helpful signs related to the plants and birds. Watch for the honeycreepers! (Though they're hard to miss because they're everywhere. If you're still and quiet, they will come very near.) BONUS: decent restrooms, water refill station, and several picnic tables.
