Great outing.

The river cruise to the fern grotto was a lot of fun. The local info shared was insightful and gave us several other sites to see. The entertainment was well done and fun. The walk up to the grotto was beautiful! All in all, a great outing that was a lot of fun.

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

Second time as good as the first

Reviewed by: Rumrunner

We we on Kauai 7 years ago and the highlight of that visit was the tubing adventure.
We returned this year and doing it again was a no brainer.
From the pre-adventure information meeting, the ride out to the site ( with excellent information from the guide along the way), the other guides that we met at the site were fun and helpful.
Of course the highlight was the run down the canal on the tubs was great fun.
We had a. Great group of people who all added to the fun, chatting, and yelling along the was( especially when we were in the tunnels.
Lunch hit the spot right we we needed it.
I would not hesitate to do this again when we visit again.

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

Totally Tube-ular!!!

Reviewed by: Fitschen

Our family of three had an amazing time tubing through the irrigation canals. Our guide, Griffin, shared so much Hawaiian history and language, on our rainy trip to the drop off area. Kody explained the safety instructions in a simple and fun way that started off our adventure. All three guides were laid back and enjoyable. We had an amazing time and look forward to doing it again on our next trip to Kauai.

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim

Core memories made!

Reviewed by: Tingeys

This kayaking and hiking adventure was so awesome! I was worried the kayaking and hike might be difficult but it was perfect! I’ve never been kayaking before and this was a great intro for me! The hike was absolutely beautiful as well and mostly on a board walk which is nice so you’re not having to climb through or slip in the mud. The waterfall was a tad dried up but still so
beautiful and fun to swim to. Our guide Jeff was awesome as well. Very kind and friendly and knowledgeable about Kauai. I would HIGHLY recommend the is excursion and would love to do it again!

Aloha Tingey,

Your guide Jeffrey will be happy to know that you enjoyed the paddle and hike to the falls.

For most the learning curve for paddling a kayak is fast, but then there are some….

Anyway, come back and hopefully the waterfall will be primed and gushing (we have had a dry winter so far)

Thanks for taking the time to share.

A hui hou,

What A Thrill!

Reviewed by: Teri

We're an active adult couple, but my husband has some mobility issues and I can at times, experience claustrophobia. We took the chance and signed up for this activity anyway. It was the best experience. Our guide, Noah, was the funniest, kindest person. He took care of us and neither of us experienced any of our issues. I highly recommend this activity, especially those that are wondering if they are too old to enjoy. Just do it!
