Princeville Ranch Adventures

ATV tour was a blast! We chose an afternoon run and fortunately for us had only one other couple so it was like having a private tour (at 40 mph). Nevin and Miquel were great and totally focused on customer satisfaction. They really customized the tour to the audience. We also got to do a couple of zip lines and a swim before. Before we started, they showed us pictures of some previous tours that evidently got a little out of hand leading to some serious damage to the carts. I have previously raced and love speed so I was very confident that we would have no issues. However, after doing the course with my wife as a passenger, I can see where someone who might not be respectful of their direction could wind up with a larger bill than anticipated. We have been to the North shore before and also done the zip tour which was one of the best.

We did the atv and zip lining tour and had the best time. Nevin and Miguel were truly outstanding and made our last morning here awesome!!! Their customer service is outstanding! Definite must on your visit!

My husband and myself had a fantastic day. The guides were great Mark and his two assistance. I am afraid of heights and they made it fun for me great job guys thanks for a good day.

We took the ATV tour with Wyatt and Kiper and it was totally rad. They were super fun and informative throughout the entire day, keeping things light and enjoyable. The ATV’s were awesomely muddy and the hike and ziplines were beautiful. They provided a vegetarian option for lunch which was great as well. Totally recommend this adventure and these two killer guides :) Mahalo!

What a great way to spend a rainy/​cloudy day on this beautiful island. From booking the reservation to the infamous King Kong and everything in between — these folks do it right. Everyone was personable, friendly, professional and fun. Our guides, Mark and Aaron J, love what they do and it shows.
Mark is full of fun facts about Hawaii — having studied it at UH and having lived it his whole life. It was a zip line /​travelogue all in one!
Definitely a trip highlight and an excursion we would recommend to people of all ages. :)

My family and I did the ATV tour which included a 1.5 mile hike, 2 zip lines, and refreshing dip in the water with lunch! We had Josh & Wyatt as our tour guides and they were a blast! Their humor was great and they were very informative and fun to be around! The terrain for ATV was not only beautiful but absolutely fun! Be prepared to get dirty, with some mud and dust and wet shoes! All totally worth it! I definitely recommend this place for a fun half day adventure especially since they have many options with tours and combo activities available as well!

WE LOVED OUR TOUR! Janet was the best. We did the Kalihiwai Falls Hike. we were the only two and so we had a private tour basically. We saw so much and we learned so many things! we tasted things as we walked. we were given some shoes to hike in since the guide knew how muddy the trail was and that our water should weren’t going to cut it.
We loved it all. everyone at the business was smiling and so friendly. The girl at the check in desk said she was jealous of our hike… that made us excited for what was to come.
would def recommend this hike because you get to see so much more of kauai and feel like a kid hiking through water and rappelling down a waterfall …

Super adventure for a morning. Guides Adam and Nevin were awesome, making it fun and safe. Well priced and well run. Def recommend the zip and dip… the watering hole was very refreshing after being out in sun for hours.
9 zip lines increasingly longer and higher
A must do

This is a really fun zipline. The zip & dip with lunch was different from others I’ve done. Aaron & Wyatt were great. They interacted well with everyone & shared a lot of information of the area!

Great company! The website made it super easy to book online and when I had to call, the service was great. I like all the options they offer and their location is clearly easy to find. Our adventure was fun and exciting. The guides were comfortable to be around and very helpful. Overall a wonderful way to make our vacation even more spectacular!

**Zip Express Review**
What this was was $ 60 worth of fun. What it definitely was not was $ 130 worth of fun. Can you even count the 5 lines below 500 feet? You’re barely in the air for 10 seconds. When their longest line — 1200 feet — gets you maybe 35 seconds of flying time, does it really even count as an adventure? On top of that, 90% of the 3 hours is just spent waiting for other people to zipline. This was our first time ever ziplining so it’s not like we’re comparing it to some amazing experience in South America or anything. This was just kind of boring. For the outdoorsy type, I highly recommend skipping this because a couple can spend $ 260 way better elsewhere. Even if it’s spent on drinks at the Sheraton or Marriott resorts on Poipu while watching the sunset. We did the kayaking adventure with Wailua River Guides, which was $ 90 pp, and it was a far better use of our money.

We had an amazing time on the Zip and Dip tour. Our guides, Melissa and Bryan were fantastic… fun and knowledgeable but also focused on keeping everyone safe and comfortable. I went expecting to have a great time on some zip lines but ended up learning some really cool things about Kauai and some of the native plants and animals. Plus we got to sing the Mentos commercial song, which basically was a perfect compliment for the goofy grin I was packing each time I landed. Sorry that you now have the Mentos jam in your head.
The property was gorgeous and the zip lines took you over some really cool terrain… just don’t forget to look down! The private swimming hole was refreshing and lunch was really good. I have to admit, I was not terribly stoked on the idea of a pita sandwich but that hardly does it justice… the presentation was on point and the ingredients were fresh and really good. Money well spent. Everything about our experience was awesome. Looking forward to going again!

This place was AWESOME. Josh and Curtis (or so I hope) where amazing .
Let me start off by saying you get more than what you pay for.
You arrive and fill out the waiver forms. Turn them in. If you payed online they say thank you and tell you your tour guide will meet you at the right. If you didn’t then you pay and then go to your right.
As soon as everyone gets there we leave. (Please dont be the one to hold the group back).
They start off by giving you all the equipment then they give you a brief description of what’s to follow. They get a volunteer and show and help you put on your gear.
Finally you get on in a van and head over to where you will do your hike zip line. We did the zip and dip. So much fun.
You start off by doing small ones and gradually it gets longer and faster. Right before the last one (KING KONG) You get to eat lunch and jump into the water. Awesome (you have to jump in the water if you do the zip and dip.) Lunch was awesome and Josh and Curtis make it memorable.
Finally the final event
The KING KONG. Its long and fast and after a long break it feels scary to go up and then jump off. But you have to do it. Its GREAT
All In all. We had fun. Great company, laughs and an overall good few hours. So worth the money. Wish I had more time to do more.
If your here give them a try

Went on the 2-​hr ranch ride which, all told, is about 1.5 hours of actual riding … which was plenty!
The nicest thing about the ride was our guide, Kolona, who gave us lots of local history, talked horses and training and riding with all of us (most of whom were experienced riders). This was not a nose-​to-​tail ride — we spread out as we wished. No trotting or cantering — just sightseeing on the ranch, where they raise beautiful Brangus — tending more now toward red Angus.
It was a perfect day — sunny, with gorgeous views of the mountains and the sea. But, I would not hesitate for a sec to ride on a cloudy, damp day — it would be another experience, and it would be fantastic to see the mountains shrouded in clouds and fog. They go out rain or shine — it’s the island way, since rain is warm and wonderful here.
Horses were standard trail fare — calm and trustworthy. They try to match rider with horse, but my horse was way too large for my 5’2″ — since I have knee issues, being on a too-​large horse (draft breed width and height) causes extreme stress in the knee joints. The guide was very into every rider having a great experience, so I know if I had mentioned something before the ride began, she would have given me a different mount.
For riders: all the horses are bitted in a snaffle, with western saddle the equipment. There are mounting blocks (kinder for the horses), ditty bags to put over the horn of your saddle for carrying your camera and other small items.
The ride was reasonably sized — I think there were 6 of us, plus guide. This made it an exceptionally nice group.
A bit of instruction before the ride (5 minutes or so) was nice for getting introduced to their style and their stock.
I would schedule another ride with this outfitter in a sec. Very good value and a beautiful ride on a working 2500 acre cattle ranch.
Tips: bring a wide-​brimmed hat. Sunny days are, well, quite sunny and can be hot. Closed-​toed shoes required. Wear boots if you have them. Long-​sleeved shirt is a good idea when riding in the sun. Jeans are most comfy.

This review goes out to Sherri and Becca!
They were our amazing tour guides for the day!
The tour is from 12−4pm, and includes lunch!
I felt that the dip lake event was the best! Such a cool place! Definitely don’t skip this option if you’re given it!
Would def recommend this place to friends
Oh and my advice, when you land at Kauai airport go to Costco to get the discounted tickets! We didn’t realize it till 3 days after when we came to Costco to pick up food gifts lol

So I went to Hawaii for the first time in my life in August for a wedding in Kauai. I don’t know anything about other islands but my god, is it beautiful. WAY better than the Bay Area in my opinion. I’d move there but if I could figure out what job to work. But anyways, onto the review
So we checkout Princeville Ranch Adventures and we had a group. We chose to Zip-​N-​Dip. For me it was $ 150, kinda expensive but hey, my first time zip lining. I would say my two favorite things were the lagoon, you get to jump in there and swim around, float around on donuts, throw a football around. They also feed you sandwhiches. Wish we coulda re-​dipped but there was another group closing in on us. Also the rain was beautiful how it comes and goes
My second favorite part was the King Kong, 1200 foot zipline, their longest one. You go side by side a friend and there are cameras that take pictures of you. They costed me $ 20 and they email them to you. Overall I’d say a pretty good experience. Kinda lil pricey. I probably won’t go back to Kauai, I’m gonna checkout Big Island next

I went on a wonderful two hour private ride with the amazing Lily today. Not only was my horse Cruiser fantastic (the only Hawaiian-​born horse in these parts), but Lily was simply the best wrangler I’ve ever encountered, all of the other staff I met were more than kind and gracious, and the VIEWS. My gosh, the VIEWS.
Beautiful rippling Hawaiian fields and guava trees and trees that walk to meet the sun and the ocean and the mountains and, and… perfection.
If you get the chance, and you love horses, and you love anything awesome, come here and ride with Lily. She is the absolute best.
Thank you, Princeville. You have given me one of the best days of my life.

We took the off-​road tour today: 4 hours of ATV off-​roading and zip lining, plus swimming in a freshwater pool and a yummy buffet lunch. It was ace!!! The perfect ending to a perfect vacation. Our guides, Dustin and Matt, were hilarious! They took care to explain and enforce safety procedures in an amusing way, as well as providing loads of interesting info on local history and flora.
Driving the ATVs was LOTS of fun — but be prepared to get muddy! On the hike to the water hole (which isn’t too arduous) you’ll cross a few streams — so close-​toed hiking sandals are the best bet (hiking in wet boots and socks is less fun). Be sure to bring your swimsuit — the swimming hole is a treat! Go Pros and cameras are a must — in a ziploc bag :)
Overall, this is an EXCELLENT tour — we will def do it again on our next visit!!!

it’s been a minute since i’ve been out with princeville ranch adventures!
i had the opportunity to go again last week with a co-​worker. we did their zip express course, which inludes nine lines and a suspension bridge! our guides were aaron, mark and melissa. they were tons of fun and were very knowledgeable about their jobs as well as the local area, flora and fauna!
a couple things have changed since i last went out with them. first, they added a 1200 foot tandem king kong line. it was incredible how far across the valley it was. the tower you climb to reach the top of this zipline was a little feat in itself. towards the top, it gets a little wobbly. when you’re up that high, it makes you a little nervous. second thing they’ve added is cameras to several of their lines. they installed cameras that take your picture as you go by. you can view them when you get back to the office. third, they have gopro rentals! you can strap one on your helmet and record your entire experience. i think that is a great service they provide to their guests. at the end of the tour, they download all of the footage onto a usb port that you can take with you.
unfortunately, during our tour their camera software was upgrading and we didn’t have any pictures from our tour we could view… guess that just means that i’ll have to go again soon!
if you’re visiting kauai, or even live on kauai and are looking for a fun adventure. definitely check out princeville ranch adventures! they have more than just ziplining! i have yet to go out on their other tours, but, i’m sure they are all fun!

Beautiful ranch that offers horseback riding, trails and zip lining. Staff are very knowledgeable of the business and area. They were all very friendly.
My group decided to do the horseback riding which was combined with an awesome trail walk that ended at a waterfall. We were able to swim at the base of the falls. Part of the trail excursion included a rock climb. Ropes and cables were positioned throughout the trail for safety if needed.
The horses were all well mannered and very easy to handle.
Overall a great time. I highly recommend this excursion.
