Horseback Riding and Ziplines will bring thrills to your vacation experience in our Kauai Cottages
When you are making plans for your vacation at the Kauai cottages offered by Fern Grotto Inn, you may also be planning some excursions or perhaps a little adventure. There are many choices on the Island of Kauai, but a favorite of visitors and residents alike is the Princeville Ranch Adventures 1,200 foot zipline course. This is not only a heart-pounding thrill, but it will also give you the opportunity to see some amazingly beautiful terrain.
The jungle-like landscape of the North Shore of Kauai is the perfect setting for a zipline tour. This particular line begins with a jump off a 26 foot high launch tower and continues through 9 different crossings. As an added treat the Princeville Ranch will arrange for you to take a half hour horseback ride that takes you right to the start of the zipline to begin your tour.

Kauai is known the world over as “The Garden Isle” and the name fits since it is home to a huge variety of trees, flowers, plants and fruits. Many visitors remember the amazing numbers of different types of flora but what they may not know is how this island in the middle of the ocean became home to so many different species.
Most of the plant life is not native to the island but traveled here attached to birds and people, across the sea or they arrived carried by the wind.
