Kauai Backcountry Adventures

Kauai Backcountry Adventures offers two of Kauai’s most popular outdoor activities: mountain tubing through a historic irrigation system and ziplining across a lush mountainside. These guided tours take guests onto private former plantation lands, offering a unique way to experience Kauai’s interior scenery, history and natural beauty.

The Mountain Tubing Adventure follows gently flowing water through open canals, flumes and five hand-dug tunnels that date back to the sugar plantation era around 1870. The route travels through the former Lihue Plantation lands, with water flowing from the Mt. Waialeale area and views of Kauai’s green mountains, valleys and countryside along the way.

This Kauai tubing tour is designed to be fun, relaxed and memorable. Guests ride in inner tubes through the old irrigation system, wearing helmets and headlamps as they float through the tunnels. The tour is open to guests ages 5 and older who are in generally good physical condition, making it a favorite for families and groups.

Kauai Backcountry Adventures also offers a zipline tour across private backcountry terrain. The course features seven ziplines that descend a scenic mountainside with views of tropical forest, streams and valleys. Guides provide safety instruction and share information about Kauai’s history, culture, plants and natural environment along the way.

Both the tubing and zipline tours are popular and can sell out, especially during busy travel periods.
