Take a Ride at the Kilohana Plantation Railroad

This railroad plantation area spans a total of 105 acres, and when you measure that up, it’s plenty of room for you to walk around in and explore. This classic railroad is all about exploration, and you just cannot visit Kauai without checking it out. You can even book your train ride for less than $20 ($19.50 plus a little tax, to be exact). And for a child’s admission, it’s even less, of course — just $14. Infants 3 and younger are free! And this special train just so happens to depart every single hour, on the hour, starting at 10 a.m. For Tuesday and Friday departures, that last time slot is at 4:30 p.m. Every other day, it ends at 2 p.m.
