Looking for a kick? Go hummin' through the backcountry in Hawaii's picturesque North Kohala Mountain region. No, that isn't Hobbit-talk for a ‘Lord of the Rings' adventure in Tolkien-land. We're talking about humming—as in exploring the rugged mountain slopes in a Hummer. Originally designed for go-anywhere military use and now used for both off-roading and city driving, a Hummer is a rugged, but comfortable vehicle that will get you to the middle of nowhere.
The guided trip begins and ends at Hummer Safari Tour headquarters in Hawi,. There you'll board a Hummer and head to the Kohala Mountain Rainforest for an off-road safari tour that includes gorgeous scenery and friendly encounters with local critters like feral pigs and wild cattle. Enter the world of Tolkein where there is nothing but silence and no one is home.
The Hummers, which are able to comfortably handle the extreme terrain and steep slopes, take you through areas that have never before been accessible to the public. Unusual tropical trees, rare foliage, and pristine private waterfalls are among the many natural wonders you'll discover. Throughout the safari, friendly local guides share their knowledge of the area's history and botanical wonders.
