What should I bring?
If you have a favorite day pack, bring it! For protection from the sun we recommend a hat, sunscreen and sunglasses. Depending on which hike you choose, a swim suit is a good idea, but not necessary. Certainly, a camera with a large-capacity memory card would be a fine addition.
What is the group size?
By design, our groups are kept small. We hike with groups ranging from four to ten people.
What Type of Footwear?
We recommend that you wear comfortable, yet sturdy shoes for hiking Kauai’s trails, some of which are rugged and sometimes very slippery. Running shoes are OK, but light weight hiking boots are recommended owing to better ankle and arch support. We realize that boots take up a large portion of your suitcase, however, if you own hiking boots and plan on hiking while visiting the island, we believe that they are the way to go!

– Lunch – Our lunches are first rate. We have sandwiches catered by DA’LI Deli in Old Koloa Town. They use only fresh ingredients. If you have any dietary requirements, e.g., vegetarian, we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
