Hawaii · OAHU ATV TOURS
Good oahu atv tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 10 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Drive or ride a family-friendly UTV through Kualoa Ranch’s Ka’a’awa Valley with a guide. Expect muddy trails, seasonal streams, movie locations, mountain and ocean views, and stories about the ranch. Drivers must be 21 or older with a valid license. Children must be at least 5.
“Great Tour Guides, they brought the scenery a nice subtitle. I especially liked the view of the other islands and fish traps.”
Drive your own four-wheel Kawasaki ATV across North Shore Stables’ 80-acre Waialua farm. You’ll ride beside the bay, follow a beginner-friendly track, meet goats, pigs, and cows, and plant a native shoreline species. Guides such as Shavel add local stories about Kapukapuakea and Polynesian culture.
“This was a very good educational and fun time. Our guide was friendly and was wonderful to ride with!”
Drive an open-air Raptor UTV through Kualoa Ranch’s Kaʻaʻawa Valley, stopping at movie locations and scenic viewpoints while an English-speaking guide shares Hawaiian history and local stories. You can drive or ride, but drivers must be at least 21 and all participants should expect dust, mud, and rain.
“Loved every second of it! Such a great tour with amazing movie sites and historical culture.”
At Coral Crater, you and a partner share a two-seat SxS ATV on a guided technical course. A lead driver sets the pace while you learn basic off-road skills, tackle hills and turns, and switch driving halfway. Expect dust, possible mud, and guides such as Chris, Riley, or Kayden.
“Wild adventure on four wheel atvs on a fast and bumpy off road track. Easy to operate vehicles and a helpful instructor made the hour fly by.”
Ride an ATV through Keana Farms, then take eight side-by-side zip lines over Oahu’s North Shore. English-speaking guides such as Cass, Bailey, Amelia, and Kenny keep the pace friendly, while rappels, sky bridges, farm stops, and long ocean views add variety.
“The staff was great Kenny, Brady and Quincy are fun guys and great at keeping the energy up. The farms is great with plenty of views and the tomatoes were tasty. Overall was an amazing experience.”
From Waikiki, ride a two-seat ATV at Coral Crater with a guide such as Sam or Sasha. You switch drivers halfway through the roughly 50-minute course, then have about an hour for games, food, animals, or the Aerial Challenge Course. Expect red dirt, dust, and a beginner-friendly route.
“Very exilerating, but be prepared, bring old clothes because you will get dirty. Extremely fun, and would recommend this activity.”
Spend about four hours exploring Oahu’s North Shore in a private off-road vehicle, with access to private areas regular visitors cannot reach. Guide Max may lead the outing, pointing out monk seals, birds, coffee farm land, and coastal views. Waikiki pickup, water, snacks, towels, and fuel are included.
“Offraod to north shore island: The private tour picked us up all five of us in a raptor truck by a gentleman named Max. He drove to a coffee farm land and unique private land in the North Shore where we went off-roading for a good 40 minutes. He was knowledgeable to explain all random questions we had about the island and was very passionate about what he did. He made frequent stops to provide special experiences we can maximize in the tour such as finding and showing us monk seals and baby chick birds. We had a long about an hour of walk on foot sightseeing the north shore…”
You’ll ride a fully electric EZRaider with an English-speaking guide through private North Shore farm roads and upper agricultural land. Stand or sit as you handle red dirt hills, coastal views, and changing weather. The small group is limited to five riders, all age 18 or older.
At Coral Crater Adventure Park, you’ll ride six ziplines from 300 to 1,000 feet, then share a two-seat ATV on a guided dirt course. English-speaking guides handle the safety work, while automatic braking keeps the zipline simple for first-timers. Pickup from Waikiki is optional.
“Mi hijo y yo no la pasamos increíble, es un lugar con el espíritu Aloha, todos sus colaboradores hacen que te sientas en familia y seguro en cada actividad. ♥️🌸😘🤗”
Spend 5.5 hours pairing a 50-minute guided EzRaider ATV ride at Coral Crater with a 2 to 3-hour sunset cruise from Ko Olina Marina. Expect rugged trails, reef snorkeling, sea turtles when conditions allow, a Hawaiian buffet, open bar, and English narration.
“First timers to Hawaii and decided to book sometime at Coral Crater for me and my wife with Malama Tours as transportation was included. We started on the ATV course and then moved to the zip lines. ATV, our guide was excellent. Sabin made sure to explain in detail everything to expect to make sure we were as safe as possible. We went through a brief introductory course and then hit the course full speed! 1/2 way through we swapped drivers (optional) so that we both had an opportunity to drive. Highly recommend not wearing white. Bring or buy a face cover it does get dusty. Zip Line. This package…”
Pick a coast, a reef or a ridge.
