Kauai Backcountry Adventures 3-4131 Kuhio Highway, Lihue, HI 96766

"We had a lot of fun! Our guide Sophia shared great information about Kauai’s rich and diverse history on our way up the mountain. I didn’t realize how many tunnels we’d go through but they were incredible. The water had a slow, gentle flow, my kids 8 & 10 did great. the whole operation was well put together from check in to floating, lunch back to the warehouse, solid and smooth transitions. Happy we booked this experience!"

"We had Patrick as our tour guide and he was absolutely fantastic! Very knowledgeable about the property and the history while funny and entertaining at the same time. We had a great experience all around. The tubing is well worth every penny! Such a unique experience and something will remember for forever"

"Omg! How can I put into words how AMAZING this experience was/is!!! Our favorite out of all the experiences we did on all the islands! Luckily, a friend in our large group had heard/researched and mentioned to our group. It sounded cool so we tried to book with her group but her day/time was booked. We were able to get the day prior and was able to relay our experience to them. We Uber’d there from the cruise terminal took about 20-25m. We ended getting there about an hour prior to our check-in time. They had plenty of tables/benches to hang out at while we waited. They are very organized and there is a staged area for photos and 4 clean bathrooms plus dressing rooms. They do have dry boxes at location to keep what you do not want wet or can’t take while tubing. The drive is in an open bus/safari type truck that rides like an ATV and was about 30-40ish minutes through beautiful scenery. Our tour guide Keanu gave us the history of the area and culture. He answered questions and was very knowledgeable since he was born/raised there and only left the island to the mainland once. We saw cows, wild pigs, chickens or course and cats. They stop at Mt. Wal’ ale’ale and offer to snap pictures and give you a history about the area. Once at the tubing start area there are clean porta potties and collect everyone’s items for the dry box. I ended up not taking my phone even with having a water pouch for it and glad I didn’t because I feel it would have taken away from the experience and highly suggest you don’t. Plenty of photo ops they do and their pricing was the lowest ($40 for all, yes all from the entire group) out of anything we did on the islands. The tubing - just WOW! So much fun! No words just a must do! Definitely would do again. Slow and fast parts, amazing views, and enjoyable no matter your age (47-49). They made sure we felt safe. Besides Keanu they had two ladies who assisted one that hung out in the back and one in the middle unless needed upfront for certain areas. One person in the group happened to be claustrophobic and it was wonderful that they did everything they could to make her feel comfortable. (She did fantastic and loved every moment of it). The water was refreshing and invigorating. Also clean and clear. The scenery was so beautiful. You go through 5 tunnels with the last being our favorite. at the end, you roll down a lazy river and they take the last photograph before finishing up. After grabbing our stuff out of the dry box and drying off they bust us to a picnic area on the property which is beautiful and itself with a little lagoon. I believe you can swim in and provide us lunch. They served a build your own sandwich meal consisted of a croissant and your choice of turkey and salami; two cheese choices, mayo/mustard and hummus (good for me since I don’t eat meat); lettuce, tomato, and cucumbers. With chips and a cookie. This area had more clean porta potties. Then the beautiful ride back - Keanu talked more about Hawaii his love for free diving, and answered everyone’s questions.He was pretty entertaining. My only suggestion would be for them to sell logo stickers because I would have bought to add to my collection of experiences for my suitcase. Highly recommend and favorite thing we did our whole trip!"

"Early March 2024 — this was a super fun experience! The water was refreshing (don’t you dare say “chilly”)…no, seriously, it was a comfortable temperature, after the initial plop into the tube! The float was beautiful and the tunnels were longer than I anticipated! I loved the unexpected twists and turns and drops along the way. The only downside was that my husband and I floated apart early on and were separated through most of the float. And since you’re not supposed to grab on to anything or anyone to slow down, there wasn’t much we could do about that."

"Great trip to do with the family! Highly recommend this adventure!! We had a blast and enjoyed the water and caves so much. It was such a fun time and so easy for just about anyone to do. I’m a bigger guy and had zero issues with this excursion. The water was a little cold but not really. Also the only thing that really gets wet is your butt and your feet. Everything else stays dry. My wife was questioning whether to go because she thought the water was going to be ice cold but in the end she was totally fine and glad she went. We all had a blast! We had the 3:20 tour so it was cheaper than advertised because they don’t serve you food. Totally fine by me!"
