Kauai is a small island nestled in the clear blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. It covers an area of 550 square miles. At first, the island may appear to be a beautiful paradise with nothing much to do except maybe lie around on the golden sandy beaches and take a dip or two in the cool clear waters at the numerous luring beaches on the island. This misconception soon fades into oblivion once tourists are apprised of the dozens of outdoor adventures available.

Kauai offers tourists a plethora of breathtaking outdoor adventure tours. These tours include thrilling zip line adventures, scenic waterfall horseback rides, an exciting ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) ride to remote parts of the island, and biking from the top of Waimea Canyon to the coast of the Pacific Ocean. Tourists may take one of the several van tours and visit some private property all around the island. Kauai hiking is the answer for tourists who enjoy hiking. Hikers may witness some of the most amazing scenery in Kauai.

Zip line tours offer tourists the chnce to foray deep into the heart of Kauai. This tour takes tourists through historic sugar plantations of the yesteryears. The sheer beauty of nature in its purest forms can be witnessed while descending this lush tropical mountainside via a series of seven breathtaking zip lines. Tourists may fly over layers of forest canopy on the way to the valley floor far below. This flight may turn slowly to glide over a peaceful mountain stream on the way to a bamboo grove. Tourists may rest here and enjoy a refreshing swim and a delicious picnic lunch.

Tourists have a wide range of tours to peruse. Some of the more sought after tours are Eco tours, horseback riding, land tours, mountain tubing, movie tours, sailing tours, helicopter tour, napali cruises, zodiac tours, snorkeling tours, scuba tours, ocean kayak tours, river kayak tours, fishing charters, surfing, windsurfing, whale watching, and scuba diving tours.
