We were lucky enough to have 3 glorious weeks in Kauai right before all the heavy rain and floods. The last week we were there we had rain, but it was on and off, It did not affect our time at all. The Garden Isle is definitely one of the most gorgeous places on this earth. Every time I return I find something new and revisit all my favorites from past visits. Below are a few things we did that made our trip memorable.
One day we decided to check out The back country on ATV’s. I had never been on an ATV before. We found Kipu Ranch Adventures and decided to book a trip with them. What a great time we had with our 2 great guides Eric and James.
“Kipu Ranch is a 3,000 acre property extending from the Huleia River to the top of Mt. Haupu. It is home to many movie sites and wildlife! The ranch has seen many changes through the years, from a sugar plantation to the working cattle ranch it is today. Kipu Ranch is a private ranch – not accessible to the general public. Ride through the ranch on your very own ATV or kick back, relax and take a ride on one of our passenger vehicles! Come and let us share some of Kauai’s hidden beauty with you and your family.”
Ready to take off and see the Ranch.
The beautiful view of the beach that is part of the Ranch. Same view we saw in the movie "The Descendants".
The other fabulous experience we had was with the ” Napali Riders”. This company had a wonderful staff that has been taking Groups whale watching for over 20 years. We began our experience at 6 am watching the sunrise as we headed out to the Napali coast. We saw over 50 whales that morning and an amazing double breech!

What an incredible feeling to see whales so up-close. They are Magnificent creatures!
I highly recommend this company. They give a thrilling day and the ride is a blast. If you have a bad back it might not be a great choice- otherwise the staff is knowledgeable, friendly and in love with what they do.
