Additional Information

Welcome to the southernmost region of the United States! Our tour will take you to places that both tourists and locals have yet to discover. This is the truly untouched Hawaii. The Southpoint area is where the first Hawaiians arrived on the Big Island. It’s beautiful, warm, sunny, and occasionally windy. You’ll traverse rugged lava flows and grassy fields, ancient Kiawe forests, and encounter all the natural flora and fauna of The Big Island. Enjoy the stunning aqua coastline with crashing waves that are perfect for photos, especially when the surf is up! If you’re on a winter tour, you might even spot a whale or two. You’ll see colorful tropical fish and green sea turtles from the rugged lava cliffs as you gaze into Shark Bay. We also offer private family tours, so book in advance to ensure availability for you and your family. Soak up some sun and have some fun! Let’s go! The ATVs you’ll be riding are top-of-the-line CF MOTO Cforce Quads, featuring power steering and automatic shifting. These ATVs are the Cadillacs of their kind.

Take the trip - Great tour. The ride is amazing. We drove to the ocean and stopped at several locations. The ATV is easy to use and large enough to handle the terrain. You will get covered in dirt and dust .

Authentic ATV Tour - A great experience traveling along the south coast. Our guide Jerry was great and informative about the local area. The ATV ride was at a fun pace and you knew you had been on a real ATV adventure as the trip was 24 miles. Stopping and visiting the green sand beach was a true highlight.

Big island Southside 4 wheeler trip - We had a great time on our 3 hour ride. The ocean was beautiful and we saw sea turtles.. we had a great guide. I think her name was Vickie. Very informative. We would definitely recommend this tour. The ride can be rough at times and bumpy but that’s what 4-wheelers are best for. Just keep in mind you will get dirty so wear old clothes

The experience was great,... - The experience was great, but the tour guide could have been more interactive. We were disappointed that we could not take the ATV's down to the green beach due to campers, but we were not offered the opportunity to walk down to it either.

Off road fun - Thank you for an amazing off road experience! You offered a safe and fun trip on a beautiful day. It was a rough ride for inexperienced ATV drivers. Be prepared and take the time to practice braking on the way down. Your driving skills improve as the day progresses. This excursion is worth the time and money.
