Fun and Dirty Awesome Experience! - This place is outstanding! Everyone is so amazing! Our guides Ed, Kaohi and Aukele were so much fun! They not only took us on an adventure but the history of the land was incredible! Highly recommend this place hands down! If you want an adventure and love to ride and get dirty then this one is the best! If I’m ever back I’d definitely do this again! All the staff were so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable! It’s such a beautiful place to enjoy an adventure! When we booked for our son and girlfriend we had to do 2 different times but they were so accommodating they let us do it together so we could enjoy this as a family!

You guys Rock so hard! - We took the ATV tour on the RZRs with our tour guides Mana and Kasen. Let me just say that those 2 were amazing from head to toe. Super friendly, super knowledgeable about the landmarks that they were telling story about and just had a great vibe about them. Please let them know that we appreciate them so much. Mahalo! Telling our friends and family for sure.

The trip was AMAZING as we toured and old Sugarcane Planation, made 4 stops to learn about the history of Kaua'i - My wife and I went on Friday, May 10. We had two very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, young men as our tour guides, Austin & Casey! The trip was AMAZING as we toured and old Sugarcane Planation, made 4 stops to learn about the history of Kaua'i and just had a ton of fun driving the Polaris RZR 1000! We got very dusty [the tour information said we would] and during the last part of the tour there was a fairly large 'mud puddle' in which my wife gave me the green light to enter - we were 100% covered in mud! Hahahahaha. It was the greatest! Thanks so much Kaua'i ATV Backroads Adventure Tour! It was absolutely an adventure! Bob and Tracey

Kaohi the story telling legend - Let me start with Junior and Kaohi made for very engaging guides. I noticed all the guides there were young like right around 20ish. We really enjoyed the stops and talks. Kaohi story telling voice is amazing, and Junior is exceptionally engaging and could keep the tour groups attention. The only reason we did not decided to give 5 stars is that as much as we enjoyed everything the amount of drive time was disappointing. Things were very educational and fun. The bass fishing in the middle was kind of silly.
