Awesome float trip!

Reviewed by: Nancy S, 2024/09/18

Hema was our guide and she was so much fun. Not only did she make us laugh and feel comfortable, but also informed us of the history of the sugar cane industry and the history of the island itself.

There was so much information give all while floating down the lazy river. My husband does not like water but really enjoyed this. They provided us croc shoes which were adequate but I wish I had decided to take my own water shoes just for comfort.

Everyone had fun and lunch was enjoyable even for me (celiac). It was something I would suggest everyone do. A moderate amount of fitness is suggested... I am older and a little overweight but had no problem with this tour.

So much fun and thanks to the group we were with. They were all really fun!

Awesome Tubing Adventure

Reviewed by: Steve Sieber, 2024/09/05

The tubing adventure was so much fun. Sophia and team were the perfect guides, Added plenty of history along with a lot of fun conversation. The actual ride takes about an hour and then you have a really nice lunch at the end and then get shuttled back to the main office. Thanks for the great time!

A beautiful day in the water without salt :)

Reviewed by: Lisa D, 2024/08/31

We had a great time on this trip!
It was just what we needed after so much time in the ocean.
Our guide Makana was very nice and knowledgeable about all things Kauai.
Her assistants were very nice as well.
Kauai is a very beautiful island. So lush with greenery and waterfalls.
I told the other people at our condo about our float trip. Hopefully they'll have the same great experience we had.
Lunch was filling and delicious. Good choice of sandwiches!
Makana had everyone sing happy birthday to my son in the last tunnel! Big fun!
By the end of the trip I would say we were all O'Hana.

Loved it!!

Reviewed by: GayleBond, 2024/08/17

Perfect ending to a great vacation. The water was perfect. The guides were amazing. The views were awesome. Lunch was good. Loved the tunnels. 7 miles of lazy river. I could have done this every day of our trip because we enjoyed it so much. Definitely on the ticket to do again if we ever come back.

Our family loved mountain tubing. This activity is unique to Kauai. Our age range was 10 to 82! Few activities can be great fun for all ages. We highly recommend this well organized and unique adventure.

Very Fun!

Reviewed by: Deb and Daughter, 2024/06/17

We really enjoyed this tour. We really appreciated Athens as our guide, he was upbeat, fun and informative! We even learned new things about the sugarcane industry as well as great local places to go after the tour. The tour was really fun and a unique thing to do in Kauai. Make sure you are comfortable with your back sitting in an innertube in the water and going through darkened tunnels in some narrow spaces with a group of people and then sometimes pushing off the wall of the tunnels with your feet and arms. We even had some really little kids about 6 years who enjoyed it. The water was shallow with very small rapids and it was fun and felt very safe at all times, they made sure to have multiple guides watching over us throughout. Highly recommend!

Fun Times in Kauai

Reviewed by: Paula, 2024/05/30

This was a great adventure - something we have wanted to do for quite a while. The entire experience was well run, very organized, and clear on expectations. Directions to the facility, instructions on what to bring, and the itinerary were specific and clear.

The ride up to the tubing location was fun and Chelsea made the ride interesting with her presentation of the history and landscape of the area and island. Her reverence for the locals was awesome.

The tubing experience itself was as adventure and fun! It was very relaxing. The few times when one might feel a little anxious, the guides were calming in explaining exactly what to do and what to expect.

Upon return, the fresh and homemade items for lunch was tasty and hit the spot after the adventure.

Excellent time!

Exhilarating Mountain Tubing Adventure in Lihue

Reviewed by: Ryan H. , 2024/05/24

The 3-Hour Lihue Mountain Tubing Adventure is an absolute must-do in Kauai! The friendly staff got us geared up quickly with helmets and headlamps before we headed up the mountain, where our guide shared intriguing island tales.

Entering the water on our personal tubes, we were immediately swept up by the gentle flow of the historic irrigation canals. The open-air sections offered stunning views of the lush mountains, and the excitement ramped up as we approached the tunnels. The darkness was exhilarating, and our headlamps revealed the fascinating contours of these subterranean passages.

Our guides were terrific, ensuring safety and adding to the fun with their engaging personalities. The adventure wrapped up with a delicious picnic, giving us a chance to chat about our shared experience. This mountain tubing adventure was the highlight of my Kauai visit – an unforgettable mix of natural beauty, history, and thrill.

Great experience

Reviewed by: wallatom, 2024/02/11

We were reassured that the tour would be a "go" even though rain was threatening. The group was a bit hesitant but the trip went without a hitch, even when the skies opened up and we got dumped on. The tubing portion was great and a lot of fun for all. Kiersten was a great lead guide, and her team made sure that everyone was safe. Lunch was good, but dampened by the downpour. Overall, I believe that everyone in the group had a wonderful time. We highly recommend this adventure. Special kudos to Kiersten.
