Romantic Adventure on Kauai
For couples looking to maximize their time and do a bit of everything, the Jungle Valley Adventure tour is perfect. You are immersed in the Hanalei mountain range as you approach the secluded Kalihiwai Stream. Then you get to kayak through a serene rainforest valley steeped in tropical sounds, scents and sights. Tie up your
kayak and hike deeper into the ranch, negotiate several stream crossings and arrive at the spectacular Uluhe Fern Ridge. Here you can decide how brave you are by deciding weather to ride two 400-foot zip lines. You finish off by swimming and picnicking near a waterfall and swimming hole.
For a full-day, ultimate adventure, go for the Kipu Falls zip line safari experience.
This activity includes kayaking, zip lines, hiking, waterfalls, rope swings, a hayride across Kipu Ranch and a ride on an exotic motorized canoe. Take a downwind kayak trip on a beautiful jungle stream. After an easy two-mile paddle, you’ll tie your kayak to a tree and take a short walk to a gorgeous area of waterfalls and swimming holes. Next, jump onto a covered wagon for a fabulous trip across Kipu Ranch pulled by a big 4WD tractor. Following lunch, you will take a wild ride on a zip line over a waterfall and river, returning on a suspension bridge. Next, continue along a forest trail through the exotic foliage to Kipu Falls for swimming. From there, cruise by covered wagon to a jungle trail. On the way back, kick back on a twin-hulled powered Hawaiian canoe for a delightful cruise back down the river.
For a great treat on the water, try the mountain tubing adventure. Cruise down tropical waterways as you glide your way through the underworld with a head lamp and a sense of adventure. After tubing, relax over a picnic lunch and a dip in a natural swimming hole. .
