Mt. Waialeale, at the center of Kauai, is the wettest place on earth. This half day adventure combines four wheel drive access and hiking to give you an unparalleled experience. From convenient departure locations, 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 you 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. You'll 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. The weather can be unpredictable and heavy rain will be cause for cancellation. A little rain is no problem as umbrellas, ponchos and walking sticks are provided, as well as back packs, snacks and beverages. (no rain, no rainbows) There is a total of about 3 miles of walking involved in this tour. The trail is not difficult but between the bumpy roads and the walking, this tour is not recommended for people with neck or back problems, people prone to motion sickness or who are not at least moderately fit. This tour is operated in the Wailua Forest Management Area, under a permit issued by the Na Ala Hele Trail Access Program of the Department of Land and Natural Resources.

Backroad Adventure

The old mill in Koloa has been shut down since 1996. The crops grown in the area now include coffee and seed corn. The cane tunnel was built by McBryde Sugar in 1947 and 1948. It took many miles off the round trip from the fields to the mill and from the mill to the harbor. It is just under one half a mile long through the Haupu Ridge.
