Since 1988, Outfitters Kauai has been helping guests experience the island through unforgettable zipline tours, river kayaking adventures, waterfall hikes, and outdoor experiences on some of Kauai’s most spectacular private lands.
What started as a small family operation became the first zipline company on Kauai, and has grown into one of the island’s most trusted adventure companies. Today, we remain family-owned, locally operated, and committed to sharing the beauty, history, and adventure of Kauai with every guest who joins us.
We offer a full lineup of Kauai outdoor adventures designed to appeal to every style of explorer. Each tour offers a different way to experience the island.

Our guides are passionate outdoor professionals who care deeply about safety, environmental stewardship, Hawaiian culture, and creating memorable experiences for every guest.
Some grew up on Kauai. Others found their way here through a shared love of adventure and the outdoors. What they all have in common is local understanding of the island and a desire to share it with people.
Their knowledge, humor, curiosity, and aloha are a big part of what makes Outfitters Kauai special.
Founders Rick and Julie Haviland built Outfitters Kauai around a simple idea: show people the best parts of the island and treat every guest with genuine aloha.
Today, their daughter Nalani and son-in-law Michael Hunsaker help lead the next chapter of the company while continuing the same family-driven approach that has guided Outfitters Kauai since the beginning.
The heart of Outfitters Kauai remains unchanged. We are family-owned, locally rooted, and committed to helping guests create unforgettable memories on Kauai.
Whether you want to soar across valleys on a zipline, paddle through protected wildlife refuges, hike to hidden waterfalls, or experience a little bit of everything in one day, we have an adventure waiting for you.
Join us and discover why Outfitters Kauai has been one of the top things to do on Kauai for more than 35 years.
