Kauaʻi ATV ATV
( 742-2734, 877-707-7088; www.kauaiatv.com ; 5330 Koloa Rd; tours $125-175; tours depart
7:30am, 9:30am, noon & 1:30pm) This outfit commendably offers two- and four-seater bio-
diesel vehicles for a reasonable upgrade of $10 per person. Therefore, we recommend
these ATV tours only if you opt for the green machines over the gas-powered ones. No
matter the fuel formula, when riding in upcountry pastureland you're guaranteed to get
dirty, whether merely dusty or soaked in mud. Use their loaner clothing.
