KAUAI.NAMEMountain Tubing Adventure
When you think of Kauai, it’s hard to imagine a trip without water. But most people don’t think about the opportunity to go tubing on this lush island.
However, one of the best kept secrets about Kauai is the tropical tube ride along the old waterways.
What It Is
This tube ride takes you for an epic ride along tropical waterways that are situated on private lands that aren’t usually open to the public. This gives you a view of the island that few tourists ever really see; allowing you to glimpse lands that are only open to the natives.
Who would think that it would be on a tube that you’d get to see the pristinely emerald green interior of the garden island?
Starting at the Old Lihue Sugar Plantation you’ll float through old waterways that wind through some of the most beautiful country the island has to offer.
With a headlamp, you’ll be equipped to glide through the island’s mysterious underworld. And at the end of your tubing adventure you’ll be able to enjoy a picnic right next to a natural swimming pool. This means that you can relax the whole ride, knowing that lunch is all provided for.
Can the Whole Family Go?
Absolutely. The ride features mostly slow moving water which allows you to float along in peace, soaking in the beautiful scenery.
This makes the ride not too scary for young children, but enough of a thrill to keep them entertained.
If you’re more of a history buff than a thrill-seeker you’ll enjoy knowing that these open ditches, tunnels and flumes which the waterway winds through were all painstakingly dug by hand way back in the 1870s.
You’ll want to book this trip early, though as spots fill up fast! So if you’re looking for a unique way to view Kauai look no further than the mountain tube ride!
