Went on am zipline tour. Simply amazing views.staff was awesome and fun. We went ziplining in maui but this was much better. The tours are on private property so the ride out there was also pretty cool. Tubing was fun and the lunch loacation was awesome. Dont forget your camera like i did. It wont get wet. You leave it...

We just visited Kauai in May of 2012 the TUBING adventure with Kauai Backcountry exceeded our expectations! Our 5 year old daughter was pretty trepidatious about the tubing, particularly after going through the first dark tunnel and getting separated from the other two kids on the tour. But the guides we had did a fantastic job recognizing her anxiety and... More

This was a wonderful experience. The staff was amazing and shared history behind this area of the island. The scenery was amazing. The water in the canal is cool but "refreshing". ( a word heard often to describe Kauai water sports). Our guides Azure and Jamie were delightful, entertaining and always making sure everyone was safe and secure. Also assisting... More

The staff at Back Country Adventures is fantastic. Alohi and her staff were fabulous. The knowledge of the area as told by Alohi made the trip so wonderful. The zipping was great and I even took pictures as I was zipping. I have also done the tubing and I definately recommend this company to everyone for Zip Line and Tubing.... More

Starting from the friendly faces inside the warehouse where you meet up, to the shuttle ride through history, this tubing adventure was more fun than I expected. Think history channel goes on Mr Toad's Wild Ride at Disneyland. I cannot say enough good things about their staff. Our guide was Brandon and he should be doing stand up on The... More

I highly recommend this for families or even girlfriends and couples. A very fun 3 hours and educational too. You go through 5 tunnels and there is small rapid action which is delightful. The guides are fun and very informatal. Riding up in the pinzskawer is a ball. The landscape and sights are wonderful. You can feel and see how... More

Tubing in the irregation ditches was awesome. I thought it was going to be like the lazy river at our local water park, but this is great experience for the entire family, young and old. Going through the tunnels was the best part. The guides are very helpful and very knowledgeable. Thanks to Steve Case (AOL co-founder) for buying up... More

We REALLY enjoyed this!! My girlfriend and I went on Kauai Backcountry Adventures' ziplining trip, and their tubing trip. The inner-tube excursion was a ton of fun. Essentially, it's very much like a Disney flume ride, except that the tunnels and beautiful jungle scenery are all natural. You just float along on a big inner tube, going through about five... More

What a unique experience this was going through man made canals built back in the 1870s. These ditches were built as an irrigation system for the sugar cane and now you can tube down them! There are lots of tunnels and lots of fun. The guides were amazing. If you have time for this unique adventure I would definitely recommend... More
