These Hawaii ATV tours and UTV tours are a focused list of commercial operators with public booking pages, not a statewide directory. It does not cover every private rental, guest-only ranch ride, or small operator. Use the links below to check the live calendar, price, and participation rules before you book. Rates can change between the operator page and checkout. Hawaiʻi’s passed-on general excise tax rate can reach 4.712% in certain counties, though businesses do not have to pass the tax on to customers. Operators also display taxes and booking fees differently. Treat the final checkout total as the number that matters.
Oahu
Oʻahu has more than the two choices below. Coral Crater’s Oʻahu ATV guide names Coral Crater, Kualoa Ranch, North Shore Eco Tours, and North Shore Stables among the island’s off-road operators. This guide focuses on Kualoa’s film-country route and Coral Crater’s shorter activity-park ride.
Kualoa Ranch UTV Raptor Tour (Windward Coast)
Kualoa’s UTV Raptor Tour is a big Oʻahu off-road outing. Its 4,000-acre private reserve runs from the Koʻolau Mountains toward Kāneʻohe Bay. The Raptor route travels through Kaʻaʻawa Valley, where Jurassic Park, Jurassic World, and Kong: Skull Island filmed. The tour runs two hours. Check the current Kualoa booking page. Kualoa estimates a drive from Waikīkī at about 45 minutes; traffic can stretch that window. See its directions page before setting your departure time. The driver rule is the catch. Drivers must be 21 with a valid driver’s license; riders can be as young as 5. If nobody in your group qualifies to drive, confirm the available passenger arrangement with Kualoa before paying. Vehicle configuration can vary, so confirm your group size when you book. Browse Viator’s Oahu tours page for other island activity listings before committing.
Coral Crater Adventure Park (Kapolei)
Coral Crater is a Kapolei-area adventure park that packs several activities into one stop. Its current official site owns the available ATV and dirt-bike formats, live price, duration, and package combinations. Use the exact booking page as the controlling record rather than an older comparison table or blog post. Build your travel time from your lodging with a live map before booking. Drive times to Kapolei can swing sharply with Oʻahu traffic. Check the operator’s booking materials for current driver, passenger, height, weight, and license rules. For transportation questions, contact Coral Crater directly. If you plan to drive, compare the shuttle cost, rental rate, fuel, and parking for your dates instead of relying on a fixed group-size break-even point.
Maui
Maui’s off-road lineup changes often enough that the booking calendar matters more than an old aggregator listing. Both operators below currently advertise tours, but your dates must be available on the live calendar.
Maui Off-Road Adventures
Maui Off-Road Adventures runs a two-hour West Maui ATV experience in vehicles that seat four. Departure times depend on the booking calendar, so check availability before building the rest of your day around the ride. The operator’s current prices are not a flat vehicle rate. A solo adult driver is $375; an adult driver with an adult passenger is $405; and an adult driver with a child passenger is $390. Additional adults are $189 each and additional children are $149 each, plus tax, on the Maui Off-Road Adventures booking page. Participants must be at least 7. Adult drivers must be 18 or older; the adult-driver-with-child-passenger option requires a driver age 25 or older. Closed-toe shoes are required. The operator warns that this is a real off-road ride, so expect dirt and the chance of getting soaked.
Maui Mountain Activities (Wailuku, West Maui Mountains)
Maui Mountain Activities runs a 1.5-hour ride with 8:15 AM and 12:15 PM check-ins. Shuttle pickup follows at 8:30 AM and 12:30 PM. Check operating days and availability on the calendar rather than assuming a fixed weekly schedule. Current listed prices are $229.17 for an ATV, $250 for a two-seater driver, and $156.25 for a two-seater passenger, plus taxes and fees, on the Maui Mountain Activities tours page. The minimum age is 16. Every participant, including anyone booked in the two-seater passenger-priced seat, must have a valid driver’s license. The operator does not offer an unlicensed passenger exception. Long pants and closed-toe shoes are required. For other island activity listings, browse Viator’s Maui page.
Big Island
The Big Island options here split cleanly. Aloha Adventure Farms adds village stops and cultural activities near Kona. Kohala UTV puts the ride on private North Kohala land, with streams and waterfall stops.
Aloha Adventure Farms (Holualoa, near Kona)
Aloha Adventure Farms combines a two-hour ATV tour with stops representing Hawaiʻi, Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa. The farm also offers separate Polynesian wood-carving and exotic-fruit-tasting experiences. Check the Aloha Adventure Farms ATV page for current adult and child checkout prices. Solo ATV riders must be at least 16, at least five feet tall, between 100 and 350 pounds, and carry valid physical ID. Children ages 3 and up can ride in a guide-driven UTV. Children ages 3 to 4 need a parent or guardian in the same UTV. Tour times vary by season and day, so use the booking calendar. For current availability, you can also call the farm at 808-796-0110.
Kohala UTV Adventure (Hāwī, North Kohala)
Kohala UTV is for visitors who want private Kohala land, streams, natural areas, and waterfall stops. Tours leave from Hāwī at 8:30 AM and 12:30 PM, run about 2.5 hours, and use the operator’s private-land access. Current pricing is $380 each for the first two riders, $175 for a third rider, and $150 for a fourth rider, plus tax, on the Kohala UTV Adventure booking page. Drivers must be 21 or older with a valid driver’s license. Every participant must be at least 5. The Hāwī location is a short 40-minute drive north of the South Kohala resorts, according to the operator. Build in travel time from elsewhere on the island. Browse other Big Island activity listings on Viator if you want a wider activity list.
Kauai
Kipu Ranch Adventures is the commercial Kauaʻi UTV operator covered here. Princeville Ranch currently advertises other adventures rather than ATV tours. Kipu’s routes combine ranch roads, movie locations, and waterfall-country terrain.
Kipu Ranch Adventures (Līhuʻe)
Kipu Ranch is a privately owned 3,000-acre working cattle ranch established in 1872. It sits about seven miles, or roughly 20 minutes, from Līhuʻe Airport, according to Kipu’s Waterfall Trail Expedition page. Kipu’s two main rides are the Ultimate Kauai Off-Road Ranch Tour and the Waterfall Trail Expedition. Both run about three hours and start at $190 for adult driver/passenger pricing; youth pricing starts at $128. Prices vary by season and exclude taxes, fees, and add-ons. See the current options on Kipu Ranch Adventures’ site. The Waterfall Trail Expedition uses all three trail systems and includes terrain obstacles, bamboo jungle, and a private waterfall. Pick it if those features matter more than a general ranch route. Kipu uses Kawasaki Teryx4 and Mule Pro-FXT vehicles and lists a Solo Driver Teryx option on its Waterfall Trail Expedition page. Ask Kipu how that option affects vehicle assignment and price before booking. Both primary tours run Tuesday through Friday. Minimum age is 9; children under 9 are not eligible to ride. Browse Viator’s Kauai page for other island activity listings.
Choose a Hawaii ATV tour by travel style
Pick the trip that matches the people in your vehicle and the day you want to have:
- For younger children, start with Aloha Adventure Farms. It accepts guide-driven UTV passengers from age 3. Kualoa and Kohala UTV work for families with riders age 5 and up. Kipu is for groups with children at least 9.
- For movie-country scenery, choose Kualoa's Kaʻaʻawa Valley route. Choose Kipu for a working-ranch setting with rugged roads and waterfall-country terrain.
- For the most water-focused route, choose Kohala UTV for its private Kohala land, streams, and waterfall stops. Choose Kipu's Waterfall Trail Expedition for bamboo jungle, trail obstacles, and a private waterfall.
- For a muddy ride, Maui Off-Road Adventures is the clear fit. The operator tells riders to expect dirt and possible soaking conditions.
- For a shorter off-road stop with other activities on site, choose Coral Crater. Its roughly 50-minute ride can pair with ziplining or the adventure course.
- For village stops and separate cultural activities, choose Aloha Adventure Farms.
What to wear and expect
Read your operator’s confirmation email before leaving the hotel. Maui Off-Road Adventures and Maui Mountain Activities require closed-toe shoes, and Maui Mountain also requires long pants. Kohala UTV prohibits slippers and flip-flops. Wear clothes that can handle dirt and water; Maui Off-Road explicitly warns that riders may get muddy and soaked. A packable rain shell is easy to stash in a day bag if the forecast looks wet or your tour includes stream crossings. Driver rules vary sharply. Kualoa and Kohala UTV require drivers to be 21 with a valid license. Maui Off-Road allows adult drivers from age 18, though the child-passenger option requires a driver age 25 or older. Maui Mountain Activities requires participants to be at least 16 with a valid driver’s license. Aloha Adventure Farms allows solo ATV riders from age 16 if they meet its height, weight, and physical-ID requirements. Bring the required physical ID or license. Sunscreen matters on exposed routes. A reef-safe mineral sunscreen is a practical default. Hawaiʻi law restricts the sale and distribution of sunscreens containing oxybenzone or octinoxate without a prescription: HRS §342D-21.
Transportation and departure points
Check the map before you commit to a tour time. Kualoa is on Oʻahu’s Windward Coast, Kohala UTV is north of the South Kohala resorts, Kipu is about 20 minutes from Līhuʻe Airport, and the Maui operators are in Lahaina and Wailuku. Kualoa confirms round-trip Waikīkī transportation for compatible tours at $30 per person plus tax; see the Kualoa FAQ for current details. Compare that shuttle cost against your actual rental rate, fuel, parking, pickup location, and plans for the rest of the day. There is no reliable group-size rule that makes a rental car automatically cheaper. If you need a vehicle, compare rental-car options through Discount Hawaii Car Rental after checking the full cost for your dates.
