We did Kauai Backcountry Zip-line Adventures tour and just loved it. (http://www.kauaibackcountry.com/zipline.html) I am "edge of heights" challenged and was amazed at how caring and instructive these tour guides were to me. After the first two jump platforms I felt like a pro. The drive to/from the platforms on the unpaved, bumpy interior roads were a thrill in it's self.... more

We had a fabulous time on the tubing adventure. The staff were fun and were very informative. 75% of the ride is in tunnels that were dug in the 1870's. They take you through a mostly leisurely ride down the irrigation canals that fed the Lihue sugar plantation. The scenery is lush and tropical, a great ride for all ages. more

My 18 year old daughters and I had a great afternoon ziplining. we close Backcountry over Princeville mainly because we were going pretty much straight from the airport, and although I'm sure Princeville is good we were very happy with our choice. We were in a group of 10, which meant we didn't have to wait too long for everyone... more

FUN! Family adventure fun Ages 50,50,18,and 11 all loved it. The group we floated with was a SMALL, FRIENDLY GROUP. (I avoid lauas and tourist places because I don't like to be herded along in a group.) The guides were very nice people. Polite, and nice to talk with. I enjoyed my time with them. You may need reservations. Make... more

Did both zip lining and tubing (2 separate days) and had a great time. We found the staff (Moses, Grant and Stephanie as well as others whose names I have forgotten) to be knowledgeable and fun and definitely made the experience worthwhile. While some have said the tubing is boring or strictly for younger kids, I have to disagree. My... more

We had a great time ziplining with Joel and Grant---they were really fun---we did start off about 30 minutes late, but that was no big deal---they drove us out to a valley with a great view and we zip-lined back and forth over the water and trees over 7 ziplines---we were able to take pics and video--the lunch was really... more

My husband and I did this with our parents... nice but not incredibly exciting. You float slowly down a canal while being dumped on by rain (the irrigation canals are located at the base of Mt. Wai'ale'ale which is indeed the "wettest spot on earth"). So, if you think you are going to soak in some rays while relaxing in... more

We decided to do this tubing trip instead of kayaking, and I'm glad we did! You get a short but really cool ride across the Lihue Plantation and into the "jungle" of Kaua'i -- places you'll never see except on this trip. The tubing was fun for all of us -- my mother wasn't sure about it at first, but... more

I went to book this about 3 weeks before our trip to Kauai. I was told they were booked for over a month so I was put on a waiting list. I was happy to get a call from them a couple weeks before our trip saying they had room for us. So, we were booked for the tubing adventure.... more
