Kohala UTV Morning Adventure

Provided by Kohala Eco Ventures, LLC

Just 40 minutes north of the South Kohala resorts, Kohala UTV Adventure invites you on a unique journey through the lush, historically rich lands of Kohala. Known as Kohala Iloko (“Inner Kohala”), this region was once home to a proud and powerful people whose isolation, fertile soil, and abundant waters supported generations destined to rule Hawai‘i.

Your adventure takes you from sea to mountain, across private lands normally off-limits (kapu) to the public. Along the way, you’ll explore murmuring streams, cascading waterfalls, and breathtaking natural wonders while hearing the stories that bring this storied land to life.

Location

📍 55-517 Hāwī Road, Hāwī, Hawai‘i Island
(Quaint plantation village, 45 minutes from South Kohala resorts)

The Experience

Kohala UTV Adventures has exclusive access to 800+ acres of former Kohala Sugar Company land bordering the wild forests above Pololū Valley. Upon arrival, our friendly staff will help you “gear up” with helmets, goggles, and safety gear before a short orientation. Then you’ll climb aboard a Honda Pioneer 1000-5 and practice on our course before heading out on your guided journey.

Follow your guide through locked gates and across rugged private terrain as you:

  • Take in spectacular sea cliffs and misty forests

  • Discover hidden waterfalls and streams

  • Learn local history, legends, and folklore

  • Enjoy breathtaking overlooks of Pololū Valley

At the end of your ride, relax with light refreshments, share stories, and capture souvenir photos before saying aloha.
