Waialeale Basin Adventure

General Description

Journey to the wettest place on earth: Mt. Waialeale! Journey to the heart of Kauai on a guided four-wheel drive and hiking adventure to the base of Mt. Waialeale - the wettest spot on earth.

Once you embark on this amazing journey, you will head inland from Wailua on Kuamoo Road (580) past Opaeka'a Falls and the Wailua Reservoir to the Keahua Arboretum. From the Arboretum, fasten your seat belts and get ready for a bumpy ride as you head further into the heart of Kauai! The trail crosses streams and winds through the dense forest all the way to the famous posts which held the "Gates" used in the film "Jurassic Park."

After parking at the gate, take a 30 minute stroll past a variety of wild flowers and gorgeous vistas. There is about 3 miles of walking involved in this tour and although the trail is not difficult, between the bumpy roads and the walking, this tour is not recommended for those with neck or back problems, those prone to motion sickness or those who are not at least moderately fit.

Location: Central Kauai
