Fun day on the Razr! - Austin and Mana were awesome. They were fun and upbeat, had great stories to share and took us racing around with the mud splashing everywhere! Super beautiful day and well worth doing!

Hawaii’s best atv tour - Cruisin down the dirt roads and enjoying the most beautiful island with our tour guides Mona and Ace was an awesome and very fun experience! Highly recommend this tour and hopefully you get to have as much fun as we did!

Best ATV Tour Islands Have to Offer - The ATV tour was simply incredible and had way more sights and local landmarks available than we thought. Mana & Austin were the best tour guides the islands have to offer. Super funny, knowledgeable, and friendly the whole time. Only bad thing is that Austin is a Patriots fan... other than that it was the perfect experience that I will be recommending to everyone that comes to Kauai. Granola bars slapped, too.

Great Fun! - Attended this tour yesterday and it was a blast!! Things to know : they have lockers so you can store items there, they provide water but I would highly recommend bring your own bigger bottle as it does get very hot ( the vehicle have cup holders), they let me use our go pro! Have fun

ATV Fun on the island! - Ace and Kalea did a great job of keeping us safe and having fun. We went from coastline to tree-covered paths with plenty of opportunities for pix and even a dip in the ocean. Towards the end, we were able to try our luck at catch and release fishing. My wife caught two, zero for me:-(
Don't dress-up for this, mud and dirt will get all over and you want to have fun. Water shoes and swimsuits (shorts) work best.
These are 4 seater Polaris RZR, easy to drive and plenty of power. You will be divided into them as you are a group. Reservation for two gets one ATV, for three one ATV. Helmets, goggles and buffs are supplied.

A Wild and Dusty Ride!! - Our family had a great time with Mana and Acesen as our guides. Mana was awesome with the kids, and even opened up some coconuts our kids found during the trip. Our son (5yrs) and daughter (7yrs) had a ton of fun getting dirty, feeding ducks, and learning about the history of the plantation. Would 10/10 recommend!

Fun and Dirty - The Kauai ATV tour was amazing. If you are looking to get dirty, drive some fun ATV’s, and see some incredible views then this is the tour to book. Mana and Kelia were great tour guides and had extensive knowledge of the local area. The kids especially enjoyed fishing in the reservoir. You will get dirty with the red dirt, so wear old clothes.

Be ready to get dirty! - This was a great time! A good mix of history of the area and an opportunity to get dirty! We went for our anniversary. We read a few reviews prior stating that people were disappointed of the amount of time actually driving the ATV's. Sure, I think anyone would like more drive time but we had a blast driving down the dirt paths and into the forest! You know its a good time when you are cleaning dirt out of your ears days later!

Dirty fun! - I’ve done ATV tours before but none quite as fun as this! Austin and Mana were the best! Just don’t plan anything after because you’ll definitely need a shower or three afterwards!
