The Kauai Waterfall Triple Trail Expedition is a 3-hour Kipu Ranch adventure that takes guests across all three signature trail systems. This scenic Kauai ATV tour combines ranch roads, tropical scenery, movie locations and an optional waterfall visit in one active outing.
First, you will ride through Kipu Ranch, a beautiful 3,000-acre property known for open pastures, lush valleys and mountain views. Along the way, watch for wild pigs, pheasants, peacocks, chickens, cattle and other wildlife that live throughout the ranch.
Next, the route leads through some of the ranch’s best trail areas. The tour uses smooth suspension vehicles designed for a more comfortable ride, so guests can enjoy the changing terrain while still taking in the scenery. You may also see filming locations connected to Pirates of the Caribbean and Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark.
In addition, this tour includes the option to take a short hike to a waterfall. When conditions allow, guests may also swim in the waterfall pond. Kipu Ranch Adventures operates this ranch-based experience, making it a good fit for visitors who want scenery, trail riding and a more adventurous look at Kauai’s south shore.
