Kauai Backcountry Adventures: Splash into Fun
Last year during our trip to Kauai, my family and I enjoyed the Mountain Tubing Adventure at Kauai Backcountry Adventures. It was such a relaxing and enjoyable experience for all of us. We lounged on inflatable tubes, lazily drifting down winding irrigation ditches, surrounded by lush tropical foliage.Â
The backcountry tubing adventure wasn’t just your average lazy river ride. It was a journey through history, as these ditches once transported water to sugar plantations. As we drifted down the waterways, it felt like we were transported back in time, marveling at the resourcefulness of those who shaped this landscape before us.
What truly sets this tour apart are the employees and tour guides. They go above and beyond to ensure you feel comfortable and enjoy your experience. They transport you to the waterways on a shuttle, where the tour guide engages everyone by having us share a bit about ourselves and our origins. She also provided some fascinating history about Kauai and explained what activities we would be doing.
When we arrived at the tubing site, the guides assisted each of us in getting onto our tubes and accompanied us on our adventure. The tour guides made the trip exceptionally enjoyable. One guide even played the ukulele and sang songs, staying at the back of the group to ensure everyone was making their way through the tunnels smoothly.
Before heading back down, we were treated to a delicious lunch, adding to the overall enjoyment of the day. And to top it off, we had the opportunity to take a refreshing swim in a pond with a small waterfall during our lunch break. It was the perfect combination of relaxation and adventure, making it a highlight of our trip to Kauai. Just remember to book the tour ahead of time since it does book up and sell out months in advance.
Waimea Plantation Cottages: Where History Meets Hospitality
Now, let’s talk about where to rest your weary head after a day of frolicking in the sun. Look no further than the Waimea Plantation Cottages, where history comes alive amidst the coconut palms. These charming cottages were once home to sugar plantation workers and have been lovingly restored to offer guests a taste of old Hawaii with all the modern comforts.
We stayed here and had about 6 cottages for my family reunion. It was a great time catching up with family we haven’t seen in a long time. We have wonderful memories of our trip to Kauai in 2023.

The Majestic Grand Canyon of the Pacific
No trip to Kauai would be complete without a visit to the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, aka Waimea Canyon. Sure, you could stare in awe at its breathtaking beauty from one of the lookout points, but where’s the fun in that?
Instead, channel your inner explorer and hit the trails that wind their way through this natural wonderland. Feel the earth beneath your feet, breathe in the scent of wildflowers, and revel in the fact that you’re witnessing Mother Nature showing off her finest work.
So Much Fun
But wait, there’s more! Kauai isn’t just about tubing, historical cottages, and epic canyons. It’s also home to some of the world’s most stunning beaches, where you can soak up the sun, catch some waves, or simply ponder the meaning of life while sipping on a coconut.
And let’s not forget about the food. From traditional Hawaiian plate lunches to gourmet farm-to-table fare, Kauai’s culinary scene is sure to tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving seconds.
So there you have it, folks. The Island of Kauai: where adventure lurks around every corner, history whispers through the palm trees, and paradise is more than just a postcard fantasy. So pack your bags, slap on some sunscreen, and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime. Aloha! đŸŒº
