When I was a kid in the 80’s we did this on our own. What a great innocent time to grow up. My grandparents are from Hanalei, Kauai. I spent every summer on the islands mostly on Kauai. My wife and I still go back every year.
Wasn’t being a child in the eighties great!! As long as I was home before it got dark my parents were okay with me just roaming around! You are so lucky to have been able to do this! Kauai is amazingly beautiful! I’m not surprised you go back every year. Thank you for your sharing your memories and for watching. Adrian
@@markanderson4163 have a wonderful time on your return trip! I did the open door helicopter ride and it frightened me to death the entire time! 🙂 - Denise
Hi there! I would recommend booking in advance and they do get booked up and you have to pick a time to go. I would advise going mid-afternoon, if you can. Have fun and thanks for getting in touch!
@seanr9656 Hi Sean! It’s very shallow. Probably a little above knee deep. And I’m 5’9”. Our guides were also walking most of the time in the creek. I hope this helps! - Denise
Great presentation, having worked 40 years in HOLLYWOOD I salute your photography, editing and narration. We just spent 9 days in KAUAI and unfortunately it rained heavy for 8 days of that in May (the dry season)... Whats more it rained the heaviest when we did the TUBING above, I mean even the guides said it was the worst they had seen in many a year. Heavy intense rain and dark poor light just ruins my GoPro shooting. I can easily see why it's so popular, but I think it's a bit too much bumping into each other specially when your feet hit another person badly, they should stagger the group more, The TUBING guys have a good thing going moneywise rain or shine, and as I've heard from the locals it is so overpriced! My first adventure in KAUAI was when I was a lot younger working on KING KONG and RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, and tourism was very limited and a lot less crowded and expensive... all the BEST to you both!
@grahamhill6340 thank you so much for your amazing comment! We cannot thank you enough. Your words mean a lot to us, especially from someone of your caliber and experience, and they just inspire us to continue what we’re dong. 🙂 We’re so sorry to hear that your trip to Kauai was rainy. We had a bit of rain too when we were there. And you’re right, there was a lot of bumping into each other on this tour; however, I think we lucked out with the group that we were part of. We were all just laughing about it the entire time. Thank you again! Please stay in touch and we hope you will continue to join us in our adventures.
@@worthytravels Yes, life is an adventure and being a BABY BOOMER I was fortunate to be born in a time when the quality of life was at its very best... Your parents and grandparents may have told you that when we were children, older people would tell us quite often "I wish I was your age", nobody says that anymore.... It's good to travel or at least it once was... PAN AM/TWA those were the days, when regular economy was better than first-class now... a time when you got good service and not self-service. I could go on, but it'd just make you cry... but thank you for the kind words!
@grahamhill6340 we completely agree with you. We miss those days when life was simpler (not relying on technology all the time). Those days were fun 🙂. Thank you again for getting in touch! We’d love to hear from you again!
Oh Lord I would get soo claustrophobic on this . The tunnels would give me a panic attack. And the narrow waterways outside with walls would also freak ne out. Thanks but noooo thanks
@@tonymoreno5724 you have a great point! One of the guys in our tour group was actually panicking for the first few minutes but we held on to his tube so he could feel safe. 🙂
@NSkowyra depending on how far along she is. I looked it up for you and found this on their website: "Women in first trimester of pregnancy only may participate with written physician approval". I hope this helps.
Did this last year -- what a blast!
@howardmarks8647 it’s so much fun!!! We were laughing the entire time.

On my bucket list for next year. 😊
@@luonajgarroutte212 that’s awesome! 😊
I did this a few years ago... Tons of fun in the cold water
@@OG785 super fun! Sorry to hear the water was cold when you were there. Glad you enjoyed it!
My son and I are signed up to do this in two weeks. Can’t wait for it! Thanks for the detailed video.
You’re very welcome! Thanks so much for watching our video! We’re excited for you…we hope you and your son will enjoy it! 🙂
Loved it!
Thank you so much! Are you planning to go to Kauai soon?
@@worthytravels seven days in March.
@@dennisclark8766 have fun!
Just did this last week, what an awesome experience!
@@hntrania oh yay! We’re so glad you enjoyed it!
Did this in 2007, and will do it again when we (hopefully) get back to Kauai someday. A unique adventure which I highly recommend.
@robertstauffer2865 it was hands down our favorite activity in Kauai. Definitely worth doing more than once! 🙂
Been there see that done that. Grand son works there. Was there just after Thanksgiving 2023.
I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did 🙂
We did this last week! Such a blast.
@plamber12 I'm so glad to hear that you guys had fun!
did the helo ride around the island and Napali coast...amazing...plus the fern gully river ride was a laid back excursion...going again in 2026

I did this a few years back unfortunately it was a cold day but still fun.
Glad to hear you still had fun despite the weather! Did you do this on a rainy day?
Thank You
Looking forward to this fun time.
Do you need to book in advance?
Hi there! I would recommend booking in advance and they do get booked up and you have to pick a time to go. I would advise going mid-afternoon, if you can. Have fun and thanks for getting in touch!
Are there lots of spiders in the tunnels or surrounding brush?
@@sensorysand hi, we didn’t see any.
So the economy is awesome!!!
Let’s hope so for everybodys wellbeing
when we lived on big island the streams had staff in the water. is it the same on kauai?
@lemonbelly1 yes, the stream is staffed all throughout 🙂
@@worthytravels thank you. good to plan
@@lemonbelly1 you’re very welcome!
what beach was at 12:10?
@@willinguyen1 hi, that was Poipu.
@@worthytravels thank you!
@@willinguyen1 you’re very welcome! 🙂
How deep is the water at the deepest point?
@seanr9656 Hi Sean! It’s very shallow. Probably a little above knee deep. And I’m 5’9”. Our guides were also walking most of the time in the creek. I hope this helps! - Denise
@@worthytravelsYes, from the video I see them walking along so thought there were few deep spots. Thanks so much, that’s helpful.
You’re very welcome!
How much is this experience?
@tomkim1017 the current prices are on this link: kauaibackcountry.com/tubing/

Can a 6 yr old do this?
@janrivera5943 Hi! On their website, it says ages 5 and over

@@bi0lizard1 oh no! Did you do this activity in the cold? 😔
Great Video..But the Music in the background is Annoying and DIstracting!!!
Thanks for the comment. Appreciate the feedback.
No it’s not annoying. You’re annoying for complaining. It matches the video perfectly, keep your opinion to yourself!!
@@benruthlessburger8905 thanks so much! 🙂 We’re so glad to hear that you appreciated the music. We just wanted it to be a little fun. Thanks again!
Could someone do this pregnant?
