Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

Loved the inner tubing adventure!

Reviewed by: Evelyn

On the way to the site we learned about the history of the sugar plantation and what is happening with that area now, which is terrific. The 3 supervising folks were very supportive and fun. Most of the trip was in the tunnels, which was very interesting as well, and not scary like I thought it might be..the headlamps were essential! It was certainly a different way to experience Kauai!

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Our Family Tradition...Smith Family Luau

Reviewed by: Donna

This Luau is the best in the islands. They only offer this Luau on Kauai, however after attending many of the Luau's on the islands, this is our favorite. The price is totally fair. The pre show, the reception at the entrance, the food and the after show are outstanding. We look forward to coming to this event every time we visit Kauai. This is a 10!!!

Kauai Tubing Tour

Reviewed by: LB

Mahalo- First of all this tubing activity was a blast! Safety Equipment was provided-helmets w/lights and gloves - croc water shoes as well if you didn’t bring your own-
All crew members were fun, engaging and helpful.
The tubing experience was a comfortable leisurely ride with a few long rides through several dark tunnels (lights on the helmets made it perfect and added a bit more fun)
Lunch after was tasty, with a self-made sandwich ingredients.
My only negative was the picture taking results - if you are a couple or group make sure you are joined together or you’ll get other guests mixed in with your pictures.
Have fun!

this experience was so much fun and great to have experience such Fun, fun, fun with friends. The personnel was super. It was like adding a cherry to the top of a cake I would highly recommend this to friends to experience this on the island of Kauai. I will definitely book this fun experience. Next time I am on the island of Kauai.
my husband and close friend Jim and his wife Sue all enjoyed it and talked about how much fun it was on our way back to our hotel.
I wasn’t sure about entering the tunnels, but it added to the fun and I haven’t Laughed as much as I did as well as everyone else on this tunnel of fun

Kipu Ranch Kauai ATV Tour with Waterfall Swim - Triple Trail Expedition

Rain made better puddles to splash through!

Reviewed by: Brittany

So much fun! The views were amazing! My husband was like a kid on Christmas morning driving around in the mud. It down poured right before we left making extra big puddles to splash though. We enjoyed the puddles more than the dust. The guides were fun, engaging, knowledgeable, and made a safe and fun environment. This is very much an off road adventure. If you’re expecting a calm drive through the park, this is not for you.

  • Woo hoo!

Awesome float trip!

Reviewed by: Nancy S

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!

Reviewed by: Steve Sieber

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!

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

A beautiful day in the water without salt :)

Reviewed by: Lisa D

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.

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.

Wonderful Family Friendly Luau

Reviewed by: LaRisa Replogle

We absolutely loved the Smith Family Luau and the show! Upon arrival we were greeted with warm smiles and small shell leis, took a Family photo and hopped on a shuttle for a tour of the grounds. After the shuttle ride was over we were able to walk about the property, feed the birds, and enjoy the gorgeous grounds. The emu Ceremony was wonderful. We especially liked the stories and history told by the host of the Laua and the Polynesian & Fire Dance after the dinner. The dances being performed over the water made it new and exciting for our family. We will definitely be back if we ever get the chance to visit Kauai again. Mahalo.

Very Fun!

Reviewed by: Deb and Daughter

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!
