About This Adventure

About

The name speaks for itself! These tours are generally extreme in either length, technical difficulty, physical exertion or a combination of factors. Taking anywhere from up to 10 hours hours, our Over the Top Adventures are simply unreal. We guide you to places of epic beauty that take considerable effort to reach; and the reward 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 our 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, Alakai 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!
