Board the world-renowned Swiss Military Pinzgauer all-terrain vehicle and ready yourself for an off-road adventure! Scramble up steep ridgelines, negotiate muddy trails, & tackle Hawaiian style moguls in an ex-military Pinzgauer all-terrain vehicle.

What to Expect

This off-road expedition treks through one of Hawaiʻi’s most natural and undeveloped valleys, to uncover an exhilarating past of ancient Hawaiian history while your expert Native Hawaiian Guide relates a spellbinding oral tradition of folklore and mythology.

Guests will venture deep into the back valleys of Oʻahu’s North Shore while enjoying an array of rugged terrain and wild natural landscapes. Tackle lush jungle trails and climb open windswept ridgelines all from the comfort of your high-stanced, open-aired Pinzgauer. Revel in ʻāina (nature) as you witness rare native plants and take in stunning panoramic views of mountain & coastline from a private mountain overlook!

Ramble through fruit orchards, visit old WWII fortifications, and even pick seasonal wild fruit! Only 8 seats available – Reserve yours today!

• Each tour is limited to only 8 seats – so don’t hesitate. Leave the Waikīkī asphalt in “concrete-landia” and get ready to experience Oahu’s North Shore back country with the incomparable Pinzgauer ATV!

The Vehicle

Our Swiss Military Pinzgauers are true all-terrain vehicles that turn any tour into full flung “Hawaiian Safaris”! Pinzgauers are the best off-roading ATVs out there, they are open-aired and quite simply, unstoppable. Rumble up the flank of O’ahu’s Koʻolau Mountain, trek across verdant hillsides, and behold incredible views. Sit back and relax as your expert guide negotiates the trail and provides a remarkable narrative of O’ahu culture and ʻāina (nature). And since we operate on private property, you’re guaranteed to have it all to yourself.

• Considered by many to be the best off-road vehicle ever produced, surpassing even the Hummer in maneuverability and reliability tests, the Pinzgauer is designed to excel in the most extreme conditions on earth. The Pinzgauer is also notorious for its quality craftsmanship. With only 1,300 vehicles produced each year these are essentially hand-made, low production, high quality machines. As a result, despite its high sticker price, it has become the vehicle of choice for many militaries around the world.

• These once exclusive military ATVs have now become the jewel of the off-road enthusiast world. Features Include: full independent suspension for smoother ride both on and off road; front and rear lockers for true 4-wheel drive that can be engaged on the fly; air-cooled engines for greater reliability and lighter overall weight; portal axles for maximum ground clearance (13.9 in. at lowest point); a departure angle of 45 degrees for both front and rear; a water fording depth of 2.5 feet without a snorkel kit; and the list goes on and on. With only an estimated 4,500 first generation Pinzgauers in the U.S. today, they are quite rare indeed. Therefore, to find a Pinzgauer in Hawai’i is no doubt “Super-Duper Cool” but to actually have the chance to ride one with the backdrop of tropical mountains and blue seas…well, it just doesnʻt get any better than that.
