This half day adventure combines four wheel drive access and hiking to give you an unparalleled experience. From convenient departure locations, our expert guides will lead you to the heart of Kauai. Heading inland from Wailua on Kuamoo Road (580) past Opaekaa Falls and the Wailua Reservoir to the Keahua Arboretum. 

From the Arboretum, fasten your seat belts because we are going on a bumpy ride, further into the heart of Kauai. The trail crosses streams and winds through the dense forest to the, "Gate", used in Jurassic Park. We will park at the gate and have an easy half hour stroll past wild flowers and gorgeous vistas to the source, where water is diverted into the irrigation system of Lihue Plantation.

This is a great opportunity to learn about the history and culture of Hawaii from experienced guides in a breathtaking natural environment.
