Description

Kipu Ranch is a 3,000 acre property extending from the Huleia River to the top of Mt. Haupu. This mountain range is the one you see to the south of side of the highway as you leave Lihue headed toward Poipu or Waimea. Many movies have been filmed on the ranch, and your tour will include scenes from Jurassic Park, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Descendants, Outbreak, and more!

Kipu Ranch is a working cattle ranch and this is evident on all of their tours! Established in 1872, Kipu Ranch is loaded with rich history. Their Kauai adventures enable visitors and residents alike to discover the garden island's history, ecology, and Hawaiian legends that make activities at Kipu Ranch so unique.

Since 1999, Kipu Ranch Adventures is proud to be one of the top eco-tours in Hawaii. Named "2019 Sustainable Tour Operator of the Year" by the Sustainable Tourism Association of Hawaii, their knowledgeable, versatile, and safety-conscious Kauai tour guides are the stars of the show. In fact, they inspire thousands of guest comments, letters of appreciation, and return visitors.

Tour Packages

Schedule: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 8:00am, 8:45am, 1:30pm, and 2:15pm

This tour is offered on 4-seat Teryx or 6-seat Mule vehicle types. Solo drivers on Teryx4 or Mule must buy a second seat at the ADULT rate.

3 Hour Waterfall Triple Trail Expedition Rate (KRA4)

$211.90 per Adult on Teryx, $142.64 per Youth (age 9-17) on Teryx, $420.80 per Solo Driver on Teryx, $700.08 per Mule with 1-4 Guests, $979.36 per Mule with 5-6 Guests   (Hawaii sales tax included)  

This tour crosses ranch land and heads to the overlook at top of the mountain pass ... from here you get a glimpse of the south shore of Kauai, a view that few visitors (or residents) ever get to see. This scene was recently featured in the movie "The Descendants" and was the spot where George Clooney stood overlooking the estate he had inherited. Since this is a working cattle ranch you are bound to encounter livestock, but you may also see wild turkeys, boar, pheasant and Nene (the state bird of Hawaii). You'll ride through lush green pastures, descend under the rainforest canopy into tropical Hule'ia Valley, and recognize famous landscapes from popular Hollywood blockbuster movies like Jurassic Park and Raiders of the Lost Ark. While this tour is the same length as the 3 Hour Waterfall Triple Trail, is a favorite of the guides as it includes some more difficult terrain and more elevation gain. If you are an experienced rider this is probably the best choice for you. There is more riding and less "down-time" as the Waterfall tour does an extended stop at a swimming hole.

Schedule: Tuesday through Friday at 9:30am and 1:00pm.

This tour is offered on 4-seat Teryx vehicles. Solo drivers must buy a second seat at ADULT rate.

3 Hour Ultimate Ranch Tour Rate (KRA1)

$211.90 per Adult on Teryx, $142.64 per Youth (ages 9-17) on Teryx, $420.80 per Solo Driver on Teryx   (Hawaii sales tax included)  

Directions: From Hwy. 50 turn on Kipu Road. (near 3 mile marker (KIPU sign). Go ¼ mile and take the first RIGHT (KIPU road and a NO OUTLET sign), cross over the small bridge and follow to the top. Take a RIGHT at the Kipu Ranch sign and pull into the first driveway. DO NOT go past the pine trees or the monument.

GPS Location: 235 Kipu Rd, Lihue, HI 96766 Click to view map

Schedule: Kipu Ranch ATV is currently operating Tuesday through Friday only!

Gear Provided: Helmets, goggles, and bandannas

What to Bring and Wear: Long pants are recommended and closed toed shoes are required. Wear a bathing suit under your clothing if you plan to swim.

Restrictions: Minimum age to drive an ATV is 18 and a valid driver's license or other ID with proof of age is required. Vehicles with passengers have additional age requirements detailed above. No pregnant women or anyone with back or neck injuries are permitted on the tour. Minimum age to be a passenger is 9.

Reservations: Advanced reservations are required. When you reserve this adventure on our website your reservation will be guaranteed on your credit card. Our agency charges for this tour just a few days before the beginning of your vacation, so if you are planning ahead this event is "Rserve Now and Pay Later."

Minimum Notice for Cancellation / Changes: 48 hours prior to the start of your tour. Tours go out rain or shine, however in heavy rains the tour may be cancelled as it goes through several streams and valleys. If the tour operator makes the decision to cancel the tour due to flooding conditions you will receive a full refund.

Solo Drivers: It is possible to accommodate solo drivers on any tour, but there is an extra charge ... the solo driver pays the adult rate plus the youth rate.

ATV tours do not require previous experience and these vehicles are really easy to operate. After five minutes on an ATV most people are zipping around without a care. There is no shifting to worry about and you'll be amazed at how stable these vehicles are. Kipu Ranch offers tours that really do provide a great experience for everyone, regardless of your riding experience. Yes, ATV tours are expensive … and I can tell you why. I've been in the garages of all of these ATV tours and a great deal of time and expense is involved with properly maintaining these machines. Your tour will also include a very low guest-to-guide ratio with a guide in the front and another in the back of your group (and typically a maximum of 8 riders in between). While these rides are suitable for people with no previous riding experience, please don't interpret this as an implication that it is impossible for you to get hurt riding an ATV. These are moving vehicles, and while accidents are rare, they do happen. If you are a complete KLUTZ or know you have poor reaction times or are especially "vehicle challenged" then perhaps this isn't the best tour for you. But the vast majority of people are capable of driving these machines … they have about the same number of controls as a riding lawn mower.

Which of their two tours to do? Good question and tough call actually. Of the two tours the 3 hour Ultimate Ranch Tour is probably our favorite. You'll ride up to the top of Kipu Kai pass which offers panoramic views down to the remote area on the other side. This is a part of the island that few Kauai residents have ever seen! You may recognize it from the move "The Descendants" as the overlook down onto Kipu Kai beach was featured in this film as the beautiful undeveloped beach that belonged to George Clooney's family.

The Waterfall Tour is great too though, and will give you a chance to swim on the tour at a beautful bamboo jungle waterfall. We find this tour is a little easier to book ... just because it is operated more often.

Overall rating

It was such a fun adventure! It was raining for most of it and we got pretty muddy. If it’s raining when you go definitely buy or bring a poncho to cut down on the mud. There were parts of the trail that felt more advanc ... ed but they guided us on how to get through. The sites and greenery were absolutely stunning! The guides were super pleasant and supportive. The explained everything clearly and patiently. I felt safe and supported the whole time. Learned lots of cool things!

This was so much fun. Our guides Cousin Ryan and Merlin were amazing!! Very knowledgeable and informative! We learned so much about the ranch and Hawaii! Loved riding in the 4x4’s! Views were magnificent!!!

Fun in the mud!

Absolutely beautiful! Owen and David were great guides and full of information. I would highly recommend this.

Explore the Beauty of Hawaii by Taking an ATV Tour in Kauai!

We had a great time doing the off road adventure which included the ATVs, a short hike, two ziplines, and lunch with a quick swim. I am so glad we chose to do ATVs in Princeville because the views were amazing. Wear clothing that you don't mind getting ruined.

Excellent ATV tour. The guides were very friendly and helpful, equipment was just as described and terrain and views fantastic. It rained the days before so we got extra water and mud to add to the fun!

Be prepared to get very dirty -- though keep in mind the dirtier the better! (it's more fun) They provide loaner shorts and shirt to wear over your swimsuit so you don't have to worry about your clothes getting mud on them. You'll drive through parts of Kauai that you would never be able to see otherwise.

The Kipu Ranch ATV Tour was arguably the most fun my wife and I had on our trip. They bring you all over the place in areas of Kauai you would not ever imagine going to! They show you locations of where movies like Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones were filmed.

Reviews, comments, & questions:.

Can an adult and a child, age 7, go on a two passenger ATV? Or because of the child’s age we have to ride with a guide?

Aloha Setember! Yes, as long as the child is at least 7 years old the child can ride with an adult on the 2 3 or 4 passenger vehicles. There is no guide riding on the same vehicle with you.

We took this tour in feb. of 2012. Ryan and Mana were our guides. They were way awesome and we had so much fun we are gonna do it again when we visit in may,

Aloha Dawn! Mahalo for your feedback! I am so happy to hear you had a great time and will be doing it again! We look forward to your return!

We took this AMAZING excursion with Justin and Ryan as our guides. We had a blast!! Justin was humorous yet knowledgeable and Ryan, bringing up the rear,freely offered the “fruits” of the fields. We were given plenty of “Kodak” moments to take home with us as he led us to movie locations, vistas and other points of interest and we saw wild pigs and pheasants. I would recommend wearing long pants if you ride a single ATV because the heat from the motor is a little uncomfortable on the calves!

So glad to hear it! Mahalo for the great feedback!

Great time, Malachi is the best tour guide.

Aloha Brock, Mahalo for your feedback. Happy to hear you had a great tour with Malachi!
