Press Release: December 2012

Outfitters Kauai’s New Facelift: New Ziplines, Jaw-Dropping Views and Big Fun. Outfitters Kauai, the company that first introduced ziplining to the island of Kauai, is trailblazing again. In the spirit of innovation, Outfitters Kauai has given operations a huge facelift and added six exhilarating lines to an already action-packed and popular zipline adventure experience. The new ziplines tie into Outfitters’ existing course, passing secluded waterfalls and offer incredible new views as guests soar above lush jungle valleys. The lines measure 1000 foot each, and feature two side-by-side cables, giving guests the unique chance to double their fun by zipping next to a friend or family member. Outfitters has put together a diverse zipline course including platform-to-platform ziplines, centerdismount, and even a Zippel, that combines ziplining with rappelling. The center-dismount zip, like the company’s popular signature 1800 foot tandem zipline, has a unique design allowing for speeds and ride times unmatched on Kauai. The new ziplines are intended to highlight the spectacular scenery of Kipu Ranch, made famous by movies like Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones, the Descendants and more. These new lines were built with the collaborative aid of a professional zip line consultant, an islandbased architect, a local pole line contractor and a Kauai helicopter company. Invasive

vine and tree species such as Cat’s Claw and Java Plum have been removed by an arborist to provide for view corridors, safety clearances; making an improved environment for Hawaiian introduced trees like the Ul’u (breadfruit) and Kuku’i (candlenut). Outfitters Kauai offers an unforgettable way to experience Kauai’s natural beauty up close. Adventure lovers of all levels can experience the thrill of a lifetime. Company Profile: Outfitters Kauai has been an innovative adventure company since they first opened doors in 1988. In 2003, Outfitters Kauai’s owner, Rick Haviland, inspired by a National Geographic article about canopy tours in Costa Rica, constructed and opened Kauai’s first zipline. Nearly 10 years and 11 ziplines later, Outfitters Kauai is pushing the envelope again with their latest creation. But innovation is nothing new to Outfitters Kauai. They have been leading the market for years, starting in 1989, when they received the first permit in the State of Hawaii to run guided sea kayak tours from State facilities. Outfitters Kauai was also an initial permitted operator of guided kayak tours of Wailua River State Park and Na Pali Coast, the 15-mile breathtaking coastline on Kauai’s North Shore. And of course, the signature Waimea Canyon Bicycle Downhill tour started up in ‘94, an adventure unique to the company.

Press Release: February 2012

The Newest Water Sport Craze Hits Kauai. Outfitters Kauai’s Stand Up Paddle Board Tour is the First of its Kind in Hawaii. Outfitters Kauai—Kauai’s innovative adventure tour leader— announces its first full summer of the Kauai Stand Up Paddle (SUP) Board Tour. This tour, which is the first of its kind in Hawaii, delivers “Big Fun in Beautiful Places” via the newest sensation in watersports. The Surftech epoxy boards that are provided are floaty, stable, and fast. This SUP tour is suitable for both the experienced paddler and the first timer— it’s a great way to learn a new sport, or share it with friends or family and get turned on to the coolest new thing going. Think walking on water! Outfitters Kauai’s Kauai Stand Up Paddle Board Tour begins with a short lesson around the calm waters of the Hule‘ia River. During the tranquil downwind cruise the adventurers can refine their technique while enjoying the spectacular scenery of the Hule’ia National Wildlife Refuge, ringed by the majestic Hau’pu Mountains. This new tour also includes a one mile hike through the tropical rain forest of Kipu Ranch, where Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jurassic Park were filmed. This lovely hike leads to the secluded Bamboo Pool, home to the crowd-pleasing WaterZip—a short zip line into a waterfall-fed pool. Lunch is served on the sunny decks above Bamboo Pool. Rather than paddling back to the Outfitters’ dock into often brisk tradewinds, an exotic motorized Hawaiian-style canoe ferries the adventurers back up the river as the SUPs are towed behind it. It is not often that a new sport causes such a commotion like Stand Up Paddle Boarding has in recent years. This fun activity has exploded onto the scene providing hours of entertainment and fitness to paddlers of all ages and abilities. Now Outfitters Kauai combines this exciting new activity with the splendor and memorable beauty of Kauai. For seasoned and experienced travelers who have zip lined, kayaked and “been there, done that,” Stand Up Paddle Boarding is fresh and exciting. For new visitors to Kauai, the SUP tour is a fantastic way to experience Kauai’s natural beauty. Outfitters’ Kauai Stand Up Paddle Board Tour, open this summer to make unforgettable family memories. If you’d like more information about this topic, or to schedule an interview with Rick Haviland please call 808-742-9667 or e-mail him at [email protected]

About Us - Company & Key Staff Founders Rick and Julie Haviland Rick grew up in Wisconsin in an old farmhouse at the end of a long gravel road, on a big lake with a corn field across the road. As a boy he loved to play on the water in the summers sailing and canoeing, and enjoyed winter sports like skiing, skating, and iceboating. He became a lineman as a young man and was able to fulfill his boyhood dream of being an every-day skier in the Rocky Mountains by working on the road during summers climbing poles, and skiing everyday all winter. When he was offered a line job on Kauai in 1982 he jumped at the chance to live near the ocean and learn about Hawaii watersports. Julie is a Northern California girl who grew up waterskiing, riding motorcycles, and snowmobiling. She graduated from Chico State University with a degree in Recreational Therapy, and moved to Kauai, also in ’82, to be with friends and windsurf. She worked as a social worker and became the Director of the Kauai Shelter for Family Violence Victims. She and Rick were fixed up by a mutual friend on a blind date and soon were having fabulous times together in the early days of windsurfing, kayaking, and mountain biking on Kauai. As they discovered new places to go and new things to do, they started to dream about sharing their wonderful experiences with island visitors, and decided to see if they could make a go of it. They wanted to do it right, and began to pursue acquiring governmental permits to operate guided tours on Kauai, and in 1988, received the first permit in the State of Hawaii to run guided sea kayak tours from State facilities. They opened Outfitters Kauai, in Poipu, in the fall of that year, and in the ensuing years have had a great time developing fun new things to do and making people’s vacation dreams come true. Outfitters Kauai was also an initial permitted operator of guided kayak tours of Wailua River State Park and Na Pali Coast, continues >>

which is a 15-mile wilderness coastline on Kauai’s North Shore. Waimea Canyon Bicycle Downhill tours were started up in ’94. In 1999 Outfitters negotiated land and water use agreements to enable an innovative guided kayaking tour on Hule’ia River that allows participants to paddle downwind through a National Wildlife Refuge location that was a backdrop to the film Raiders of the Lost Ark. The tour group hikes to waterfalls located at the famous Kipu Ranch, and returns to their private dock by an exotic doubled- hulled motorized Hawaiian canoe. Rick’s past work as a pole climbing lineman and his cable handling skills came in handy when, in 2003, he was inspired by a National Geographic article about canopy tours in Costa Rica, and constructed and opened Kauai’s first zipline alongside a Kipu Ranch site used in the filming of the movie Jurassic Park. Since then, Outfitters has continued to innovate, bringing together more ziplines, waterfalls, canopy walkways, treehouses, rappelling, suspension bridges, and even waterzips for the enjoyment of their guests. After over 25 years, Outfitters Kauai is still doing new things all the time, and still making people’s vacation dreams come true. The Havilands reside at a garden home in Oma’o, just outside the Poipu resort area, with their two dogs and two cats. Their daughter Nalani, who came along in 1990, is a dean’s list college studentathlete in California. And they still go kayaking together every chance they get.

General Manager Cesare Lucente Cesare Lucente developed a love for travel and adventure at a young age when he began spending high school summers away from his hometown Kansas City, Missouri to work for a family friend in Belize City, Belize. After obtaining a BA in Sociology from Regis University in Denver he set out on several years of working vacations spent hiking, skiing and rock climbing around the western United States and Central America before heading back to Kansas City to help run the family restaurant. Here he met his future wife of part Hawaiian descent and was introduced to Kauai on a trip to meet her family. After seeing the beauty of Kauai the couple packed their bags and took up permanent residence on the island in 2001. Answering a want ad for a bicycle/kayak guide position landed Cesare at Outfitters Kauai where he found his true calling. Taking guests on adventure tours around the amazing island of Kauai seemed a job too good to be true. His tales of past rock climbing adventures caught the ear of owner Rick Haviland who asked him to help develop a zipline tour program. Their diverse experiences with rope and cable management along with a mutual passion for adventure and innovation produced a unique and exciting product. Over the years the two have collaborated on many more tour development projects and created amazing adventures for their guest to enjoy. Cesare has moved from Quality Assurance Manager to Operations Manager to his current role as General Manager.
