Don’t Wear Anything That Can’t Get Dirty
The trip proceeds rain or shine and rain or shine you WILL get dirty. Kauai is famous for its Technicolor red volcanic dirt. If the weather has been dry, you will get what is called a ‘red dirt tan’. If it has been raining, then you will get a complimentary mud bath treatment.
Wet or dry, remember that red dirt stains absolutely everything! Do not bring or wear anything that cannot get dirty, muddy or wet.
The less you bring the better. We are not responsible for lost or damaged personal belongings. If it’s valuable, don’t bring it on tour with you.
If it’s raining, bring a poncho or a raincoat. Even though you are in Hawaii, it can get chilly when you get wet and stay wet.
Kauai ATV provides you with a complimentary souvenir bandana to keep the dirt, dust and mud out of your mouth.

What You’ll See While ATVing in Kauai
Kauai ATV provides a guided three hour tour that takes you on 18 miles of off road trails. This tour encompasses beautiful ocean views, Movie sites, the Wilcox Tunnel and the Waita Reservoir. You’ll be able to catch and release fishing with traditional bamboo fishing poles at the end of the tour (weather permitting).
The Wilcox tunnel was built just after World War II. It was engineered by Elbert Gillin, who was a plantation engineer at the time. It runs about one half mile long and measures twenty feet by twenty feet.
You’ll get to see the incredible views of the, over a hundred year old, Waita Reservoir (also referred to as Hauiki Reservoir, Marsh Reservoir or Kōloa Reservoir).
The reservoir is nuzzled right by Kauai’s Tree Tunnel and Old Koloa Sugar Mill. The reservoir is an inland body of fresh water, one of the biggest in Hawaii. It appears as a huge Oasis with the background of the Black Mountain Range and Mt. Haupu in Koloa as seen in Jurassic park.
The Koloa Sugar Mill stands as a testimony to Hawaii’s booming sugar industry. From 1912-1996 The Koloa Mill was the highest producing sugar mill in the state of Hawaii.
After the closure in 1996, the mill became a popular tourist attraction popping up in countless vacation photos and home movies. Since the Waita Reservoir is closed to the general public, it is still a favored site for Hollywood movies.
Don’t Forget!
Don’t forget to leave your valuables at home. Don’t bring unprotected cameras and digital devices or anything else that cannot get dirty, wet or lost.
Bring sunscreen and bug spray!
Bring something to protect you from the rain.
Wearing light pants is best.
