About

Our Signature Train Tour

The Kauai Plantation Railway recreates the days when diesel powered narrow gauge Locomotives moved the harvested cane from the fields to the mill, and raw sugar from the mill to the wharf for shipment. Today we are running two 1948 25-Ton, General Electric, Diesel Electric Locomotives. The same type used in the sugarcane fields.

Your tour begins in our authentic Hawaiian train depot. Check in with the stationmaster, then take a few minutes to explore our unique Train Depot Gift Shop. Here you will find many hand crafted items made right here on Kauai.

In a few short minutes you hear the approach of the train. You step out onto the boarding platform and watch as the engine appears out of the jungle as It winds its way past a garden in bloom with tropical flowers.

The train cars are close reproductions of King Kalakaua’s personal railway cars from the mid 1800’s. They are elegant with hand finished wood interiors and offer an enclosed ride with plenty of views.

If you are feeling more adventurous you may pick the open sided excursion car as used on the Oahu coast railway before World War II. In either case you are sure to have a safe and comfortable ride.

Your local guide (conductor) will share with you some of the history of the Plantation, the beautiful island of Kauai, and the equipment we use.

The Conductor will also point out some of the interesting varieties of fruits and vegetables grown right here at Kilohana. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the view as the Train passes through fields of Banana, Papaya, Pineapple, Taro, as well as Native & Exotic hardwoods from around the world. Kilohana’s fruit orchard has over 25 different varieties of fruit trees that will have your mouth watering.

Your train ride takes you back through history to the plantation days of Kauai… but this is also a real working farm. Much of the Fruit you see grown here is used in Mahiko Lounge’s farm to glass cocktails at Gaylord's restaurant.

The Kilohana plantation is surely one of the most beautiful farms in the world. You will see an unusual mix of plants and trees, as well as our friendly farm animals.

Well out into the heart of the plantation you get to disembark to spend some time feeding the pigs, goats, sheep, and our friendly donkey Stiney.

The Kauai Plantation Railway is fun for all ages and a must do when staying on Kauai.
