North Kohala is a barely civilized, wildly beautiful region—an ideal place for off-road exploration. Behind the wheel of an ATV, with a guide that knows the terrain, its history and culture, be prepared for a ride into parts unknown where the only sensible thing to do is expect the unexpected.
ATV Outfitters is owned by long-time North Kohala residents Bill and Sandie Wong. They'll ride with you on All Terrain Vehicles specifically designed for rugged, off-road travel. Their fully automatic "machines for scenes" are user-friendly and designed for minimal impact on the environment. No experience is necessary, however there are age and weight restrictions. Tandem rides on two-seat ATVs are available.
Off-road trails range from an historical ocean cliff track to waterfall and rain forest tours. The ocean cliff trail provides sweeping views from 200-foot sea cliffs. The 15-mile waterfall tour and 25-mile rain forest and waterfall tour wander over backcountry landscapes and include a hike to the foot of a private waterfall. But this is more than a rugged ride through gorgeous terrain. It's a remarkable opportunity to learn from experts about a place barely touched by time.
The wide open spaces of Parker Ranch are the setting for ATV tours that are both rich in the history of this 150,000-acre ranch and loaded with panoramic upcountry views.
