After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
Living in Hawaii, or even vacationing on the islands, is truly an adventure in itself, but not all Hawaiian adventures are created equally, especially when it comes to experiencing thrills and experiencing some of the prettiest landscapes you’ll find across the Aloha State’s eight main islands. Enter Kipu Ranch Adventures, an incredible off-road 4×4 touring operation based on Kauai. Not only will their adventure tours provide an experience you’ll never forget, but the views you’ll find on this historic ranch are truly second to none. Let’s take a look, shall we?
Nestled on the beautiful Garden Island is the breathtaking Kipu Ranch, a 3,000-acre privately owned cattle ranch. Established in 1872, this ranch is loaded with unique history. Tourists and locals alike will love immersing themselves in the history, landscapes, and legends that make Kipu Ranch unique.
Adventurous spirits will love the thrills of operating these off-road machines, while nature lovers and photography enthusiasts will enjoy the sights as passengers. With a variety of tours available — ranging from two to four hours, and starting at just $104 per person — you’re sure to find an excursion everyone in your family will love.
