Big Island ATV Tours

Get Off the Pavement on a Big Island ATV Tour

The Big Island has plenty of places where paved roads end and the landscape gets more interesting. On an ATV or UTV tour, you can ride through ranch country, tackle dirt trails, cross muddy sections, and reach viewpoints that you would never see from a standard rental car.

At Umauma Experience, the Deluxe ATV tour takes you across Hamakua ranch land with both 4x4 ATV and Side x Side UTV options. Farther north, Kohala Eco Ventures leads a guided UTV adventure through working ranchlands and private backcountry near the rim of Pololu Valley. The scenery changes along the way, so the ride is as much about exploring the land as it is about the off-road experience itself.

Before you book, decide who in your group wants to drive and who would rather ride as a passenger. It is also worth checking the minimum driver age, passenger age requirements, tour length, and vehicle options so you know exactly what to expect.

Plan on getting a little dusty, and possibly muddy too. Closed-toe shoes and clothes you do not mind getting dirty are the way to go. Weather can also change trail conditions, so come ready for a real outdoor adventure rather than a polished sightseeing ride.
