We had a great time and our guides (Malachi and Tori) made the experience so much better. Both fun and historical facts, local knowledge and great recommendations for food and fun things to do. Highly recommend!

Muddy and Fun!!!

Ronxzkie_Y, Apr 2024

This ATV adventure is by far the best I’ve tried in a land activity adventure. We started out with a white T-shirt and ended up throwing it away, because I’d be dwelling on that shirt for days remembering how awesome the ride was! Shout out to Junior and Ari! Amazing young tour guides! You guys rock! 100% would recommend and would do it again!!!

Good dirty fun!

Juanita_M, Apr 2024

What an awesome trip and truly wonderful guides- Mana and Austin. They were funny and knowledgeable and enhanced the whole experience! It rained pretty hard at times, but for us it made it more fun. Bring a small towel to wipe your goggles and a raincoat might be a good thing to bring if you are not fond of getting wet. Extra clothes and shoes so you don’t make a mess of the rental car is a must.

Best ATV trip for families!!!

Nicole_A, Mar 2024

Our family had the best time at Kauai ATV tours! We did the tour with our two young children (7&8) and they had the time of their lives!! Our tour guides Casin & Tory made the adventure even more fun with the history of the island, stops at the beautiful coast, Wilcox tunnel, and the lagoon where we enjoyed fishing the traditional way!! We can not wait to come back to Kauai and do the tour again!!

Seeing the island with Styke

Deborah_W, Mar 2024

Enjoying the guides, Austin and Mauna (sp?) and their friendship and love of their island and culture. Husband drove while I enjoyed my first ever ATV ride. Will do this again.

Great time for the...

Victor_M, Mar 2024

Great time for the family. Was an amazing time. Highly recommended. Very safe for kids. Would do it again

Would certainly do it all over again!

David_D, Mar 2024

Our guides Tori and Ari were absolutely amazing. Both are very knowledgeable about the island and great folks in general. They also did a great job keeping the pace up in a very wet ride. We had a blast and would gladly do it again.

Experience of a lifetime.

Charles_C, Mar 2024

Now this was a fun trip!! Expect to have a lot of fun in be covering a lot of mud! My first time in a ATV and the team did a great job giving me an experience I’ll never forget! I can’t wait to do it again.

Must do activity!

Elexis_A, Mar 2024

My husband and I both LOVED this ATV Adventure Tour. Our guides, Jai and Tori, were awesome! Very personable and knowledgeable about the history of the island. Beware: you will get dirt EVERYWHERE, so definitely recommend taking an extra set of clothes if you don't wanna get your car dirty after the tour. 10/10 would book again!

Adrenaline rush :)

Carly_B, Mar 2024

Amazing time! Our tour guides were fun and informative. Everyone in our group was respectful towards fellow riders. Seeing the Wilcox tunnel and fishing during our atv time was spectacular. We were able to get our side by side up to 45mph without getting too close to fellow drivers. There were a lot of kids in our group as well as adults. Everyone seemed to have a blast! Fun for all ages!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Aloha Carly, We are so happy to hear about your experience with our guides and your tour overall. We definitely have a blast with all ages out on our trails and we're so happy you could witness the enjoyment first hand. Please come back and visit our Wilcox tunnel whenever you need another moment of awe and we'll get you squared away on our Backroads Adventure. Mahalo!

Fun and muddy adventure

Rob_M, Feb 2024

We had a great time with Austin and Malachi. This was a fun, muddy, and fast way to see parts of the island that aren’t accessible by car.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Aloha Rob, Thank you so much for joining us on such a muddy adventure. We are so happy to hear that you had such a great time with Austin and Malachi. We hope that you'll be back to adventure through Kauai's hidden beauty soon. Mahalo!

Outstanding Performance

Joan_T, Feb 2024

Learning about the historical & cultural heritage of the area. The ATV and equipment were top of the line. Guilds were outrageously experienced, would recommend this tour to anyone.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Aloha Joan, We are so happy to hear that you had such a great time adventuring through Koloa with us and learning about our beautiful island home. Please join us again soon for another amazing adventure. Mahalo!

Generational Family Fun

Diane_S, Feb 2024

Amazing guides, very interactive and fun. Some great stops with amazing views and fun atving! Took this tour with my grandparents and other family and we all enjoyed it. This is one tour I absolutely would do again in the future. It is definitely adventure not leisure, plan to be muddy.

Exciting, Passionate, Knowledgable

Hunter_G, Jan 2024

This was so much fun! The tour guides (Mana and Austin!) were so much fun. They were the life of the party while also being super knowledgeable and passionate about the Kauai! We learned so much of Kauai history while also getting to learn and understand every day life in Kauai! This was such a great experience!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Aloha Hunter, Thank you so much for joining us on tour. We are so happy that you were able to party out on the trails with Austin and Mana. We hope that whenever you're in the mood for learning more about our beautiful island home, you come back out and do something dirty with Kauai ATV!

Fun family activity

Muneet_C, Dec 2023

Comfortable and fun adventure with our 8 year old twins. Gabe and Austin were a blast and shared some great history about the beautiful island. Would highly recommend.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Aloha MuneetC, We are so happy to hear the whole family had a great time with our tour guides and ATV adventure. We thank you so much for your recommendation and hope you and the twins will be back on tour soon to have another awesome adventure with us. Mahalo.

Fun ride

Leeanne_M, Dec 2023

Very fun day but not as wild a ride as we would have liked. Terrain is bumpy and you can drive fast but not many hills to climb or diversity in the drive: enjoyed the amazing guides and vehicles were in excellent condition, very safe.

I learned so much from...

Louise_K, Dec 2023

I learned so much from Tori and Acen. Knowledgeable guides and super funny. The tour had amazing views and the trails were great!

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Aloha Louise K, We are so happy you got the best in depth tutorials of Kauai with Ayson and Tori! The guides and the gorgeous views will be here whenever you make it back to the island, so please don't be a stranger and join Kauai ATV again soon! Mahalo.

Enjoy getting dirty - it washes off!!

Lisa_E, Dec 2023

What a blast! We had such a good time. We were so lucky it was raining so the ground was nothing but mud! We'd go thru puddles and the mud would come in over the top and even up thru the floor of the ATV. The operators were not in a hurry and just acted as if it wasn't pouring rain. Worth every dime.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Aloha Lisa E, We are so happy to hear you had a fun muddy adventure with Kauai ATV. Our moto is do something dirty and we can guarantee that by the end of each tour you and your family will want nothing more but to embrace the mud on trails. We hope that while you had fun out with the guides, you were able to clean up nicely afterwords with our wash station. Please join us again soon whenever you're in the mood for some more mud and fun. Mahalo!

Easy ride with lots of fun

Sabrina_P, Dec 2023
