Half-Day Kauaʻi Hiking Adventure
For this half day custom adventure, sightseeing and hiking are often combined because the drive time to some trailheads can be quite far from the resort areas.
Your tour can vary in difficulty from easy to strenuous with trails ranging from wide and well-maintained to some of the moderate off-trail hikes. Your guide will contact you the day before your tour to go over Half-Day Tour options with you.
What To Bring
- You may want to bring a towel, change of clothes, and slippers to change into after the hike.
- Water, Sunscreen, Bug repellent, hat, sunglasses, camera
- Equipment needs depend on the tour you book. Immediately upon purchasing your hike, a trip-specific list of recommended equipment, aka “gear list,” will be included in your confirmation email. If you don’t have something on the gear list, don’t worry! Let your guide know, they will find a way to make it work (most guides have a stockpile of “lender gear”).

Know Before You Go
- You must be able to walk on unpaved, uneven, likely muddy terrain.
- The area has the potential to be rainy, so you should pack layered clothing, a rain jacket and closed-toe shoes.
- Transportation: in most cases transportation is provided. Up to 4 people can be accommodated in most of their SUV-style vehicles, up to 6 or 7 in their extended SUV vehicles, and up to 14 people in their 4×4 van (as available). On some occasions it may make more sense to arrange for the guide to hop in with you, or have you follow them in your vehicle and/or meet your guide at the trailhead.
