Here is the excerpt from the atv tour website:

Join us for a beautiful and breathtaking 3 hour scenic tour through Kipu Ranch. Take a ride through tropical forests, river valleys and rolling pastures. The ranch is home to hundreds of head of Hereford, Angus and Brangus cattle as well as wild pigs, Hawaiian Nene geese, pheasant and much more. Our guides will share some history with you about the ranch and island and even movie sights!

We are just starting our tour

The first stop on our tour

Darren stopped to take a picture of the trail

This used to be sugar cane fields until the 1960s, now these are just areas for grazing.

 Starting to get a little dirty! (the ocean is the blue in the back by the end of the valley)

Just one of the many amazing views while we were riding.

Introduction to Kauai

We got off the plane & immediately went to see this waterfall. It was a beautiful introduction.

 

 This is the ocean view from our hotel room.

Here is the pool at our hotel. Our hotel room looks down at the pool. We haven't enjoyed it yet, but have discovered the hot tubs! :)
