Over the Top Kaua’i Hiking Adventure
The name speaks for itself! These tours are extreme in either length, technical difficulty, physical exertion or a combination of all factors. Lasting up to 10 hours, this Over The Top Adventure is simply unreal. You’ll be guided to places of epic beauty, which require considerable effort to reach; the result is well worth it.
Many of these adventures are off trail, through overgrown jungle, and sometimes follow hunting tracks or other routes that are on unmaintained surfaces. These hikes are strenuous to extreme difficulty and often require that guests have extensive hiking experience and a general sense of ease, safety and well-being in remote places. Whether you choose to explore the Na Pali Coast, Alaka’i Swamp, Waimea Canyon, or some of Kauai’s less easily visited waterfalls and interior mountain areas, an Over the Top Kauai Adventure is the kind of experience you will remember for a lifetime!
Start time: 6:00 AM
What To Bring
- Water, Sunscreen, Bug repellent, hat, sunglasses, camera, backpack, snacks.

- The area has the potential to be rainy, so you should pack layered clothing, a rain jacket and closed-toe shoes.
