Tubing in Kauai was truly an amazing experience. I went to Hawaii with my best friend at the time & her family.
Her mom lived there as a kid so we got our own personal tour guide. One day she took us to Backcountry Tubing Adventure for about a 3 hour adventure. It was sooo much fun. My friend Sam and I went in our bathing suits & we all rented shoes, gloves and a headlamp. We then got in an orange four wheel drive adventure vehicle, while our tour guide drove us to our destination. He told us about their culture, fun stuff to do in the area & also told us about movies filmed on the island. We then got to float down the flowing river and looked around the area. It was so beautiful. Everything was green & colorful. Then about a group of 20 of us each got in our own tube & shivered a bit because the water was a tad chilly. The tour guides just jumped in the water like it was nothing though & I remember they were all talking about the movie Pitch Perfect. For some reason I'm always so fascinated to see that people that live in different areas then me listen to the same music & watch the same movies.
Anyways tubing was awesome. We went through tunnels & would turn on our headlamps to be able to see in the dark & would also go down small waterfalls. It was really relaxing and fun! It even started sprinkling, but it was still warm and we were all comfortable in our bathing suits. After we got to the end of our tubbing journey we wrapped ourselves in towels and it started to rain a little harder. Our local tour guide drove us to a beautiful spot with picnic tables where they set up lunch for us. We got to eat cookies, chips & sandwiches! They also gave us water bottles & we enjoyed our lunch while looking at our beautiful surroundings. The river wrapped around one side of us & I remember seeing pineapples growing off of a bush. I thought it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. After our lunch we all got back into our long army jeep looking safari truck and drove back.
I strongly recommend this adventure to anyone who loves to relax while floating down a river in a beautiful surrounding!
