Kauai
We had a lot of fun doing this. The route is well laid out; the way it's designed, you'll do a lot of bumping and spinning from one end to the other. It was easy to engage with other participants. The crew was funny and went out of their way to get you to laugh. You do get wet but you don't get dunked and it's not too cold. A great way to spend an hour or two!
My husband and I loved this tubing adventure. The setting was pristine far away from any development. A fun ride through the property to reach the entrance was interesting and the commentary from the tour guide was informative and entertaining. Then into the refreshing water. Sometimes calm and other times exciting and fast moving. Five tunnels with your “head lamps “ on!!! It was truly the most fun we have had on the island. Worth every penny!!!!
Great time tubing with an excellent staff! Kai (?), Hank, sharia and the others were fantastic!!!
The cruise to the grotto was good. Interesting history of the Smith family discussed on river boat. Scenery is good and the grotto is in a very lush location. The folks are very nice and accommodating. We chose the river cruise to be at the Luau on time.
Great location for a Luau. On the beach, cultural events, beautiful sunset, good food, talented performers. Great show!
We enjoyed the views as well as the stories and entertainment. Great family!
We enjoyed the whole experience. The drive up was beautiful and we loved stopping for pics. The tubing adventure was great and all the staff very friendly and helpful. Lunch afterwards was perfect! Would recommend for families, just dress appropriately and know what your children can handle.
This was a great tour and glad I chose the small airplane ride versus helicopter. Our tour guide was very informative and took note that most of us loved the waterfalls so it appeared he concentrated on this piece with extra attention. There was 6 of us in the group which was the entire plane. Two small children. Our 6 year old was extremely excited and loved the tour. She did get a bit warm in the plane towards the end. Glad we booked this tour!!!
My wife and I went on this six years ago and had a great time. We were in Kauai with the whole family. I told them that this was a must do The whole family fro 74 to 8 years had an enjoyable time. Outstanding activity.
This was so much fun. Our guides Cousin Ryan and Merlin were amazing!! Very knowledgeable and informative! We learned so much about the ranch and Hawaii! Loved riding in the 4x4’s! Views were magnificent!!!
We didn't want anything too strenuous and this was perfect. A relaxing easy kayak down a wide river with beautiful views along the way. The hike was a bit slick and muddy but was fine with water shoes. My wife used a stick we found along the way for balance. The hike was easy and very pretty. The swimming hole is not under the falls like I pictured in my mind. The swimming hole with rope swing is before the falls. The guides were super - as friendly as can be, knowledgeable about the history and nature, and very helpful with getting into and out of kayaks, directions etc etc. They also had fun personalities and attitudes. All in all a great tour!
Tubing was really fun! It was pouring rain and we still had a great time! Noah was an amazing tour guide.
Our tour guides were awesome! We had a great time. The views were great and the tour guides did a really good job explaining the history of the land.
I got about 30 mosquito bites at the Waterfall... so bring your bug spray!
It was a great time. Really enjoyed it It was our birthday week and we had the best time. The boat ride, the songs, the hula dance was spot on.
I was excited to experience the natural beauty of Kauai by kayak and hike. What I wasn't expecting was to learn so much about the history and culture of the Wailua Valley, Wailua River, and Sacred Waterfalls. Our entire group felt like the tour was more a group of friends than a standard follow the leader tour. This was in no small part due to our fantastic tour guide, Izzy. I'd recommend asking for her.
Aloha Darrin,
We love our clients and I personally married one.
Izzy does a particularly good job of guiding singles and families alike and making them all feel part of an extended family while at the same time keeping you safe without loosing the sense of fun.
Leaving you "thoughtful" with the history and culture of the area is considered as important as any facet of our tours.
Thanks for you kind words and will make sure to share with Izzy.
A hui hou,

What a beautiful experience! Comfortable, clean ride up calm river to breathtaking rainforest. Knowledgeable staff was informative and entertaining. Finally a great value!
Would recommend to anyone coming to Kauai. Will do again.
Our tour guide and driver were phenomenal!! We enjoyed all the movie clips and locations.
Tubing down the channels was great. Out guide ,Patrick, was very informative and made the trip a lot of fun. His many assistances added a lot to the experience. I would recommend Kauai Backcountry Adventures, especially tubing the channels, to anybody visiting Kauai. When I get back to work next week and people ask what I did, Tubing the Channels will be the first I’ll talk about
This was a quick fun little trip. The staff was fun and informative.
Good show, just make sure you take bug spray, mosquitoes out in force.
Wonderful Performers, we all had fun and would go again.
I really enjoyed the tour other than not being able to hear what the narrator was saying along the trail. He should have had a megaphone or microphone so we at back could hear what he was saying. I heard from other people he was describing the plants & trees along the way, which I heard nothing.
The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. The water was refreshing and the tunnels were super fun. there were a few locals in our group, they have it on their list to do with all their visiting friends and family. We celebrated a 64th birthday on our tour. Sang happy birthday and the picnic lunch was really good. we got an extra cookie.
Thank you for a wonderful birthday experience.

We rented a car on the island and traveled to Hawaii as a mature couple. This time, we visited Oahu and Kauai. In Kauai, we were interested in the Fern Grotto and made a reservation for a sightseeing boat. After boarding, we enjoyed a luau while cruising up the river to the grotto. At the grotto, we listened to a delightful explanation in English. On the way back, we all sang together and had a great time. We couldn't make it to the hula dinner due to scheduling conflicts, but we were able to experience the atmosphere through this tour. I highly recommend it.
島でレンタカーを借りて、熟年夫婦でハワイ旅行しました。
今回は、オアフ島とカウアイ島。
カウアイ島では狙っていたシダの洞窟には観光遊覧船が気になっていて予約しました。乗船してからルアウ(古典的なフラ?)を見せて頂きながら、川を遡上し、洞窟まで行きました。洞窟では英語でゆかいな解説を聞けました。
帰りもみんなで一緒に歌を歌いながら楽しく戻ることができました。
フラのディナーに予定が合わず行けませんでしたが、こちらのツアーで雰囲気を味わえました。おすすめです。
Amazing dinner and company thanks for the amazing entertainment
Our guides Hatu and Justice were wonderful. They made us feel welcome, safe, and gave us a great experience all around. We loved hearing about Hawaiian culture and experienced from Hatu. A great day overall!
Aloha Taylor,
Glad you enjoyed the paddling duo of Pohaku and Justice.
They do a great job of coupling the beauty of Hanalei with cultural and natural history.
Hope you saw some turtles snorkeling.
Thanks for sharing and will share with Pohaku and Justice.

That is amazing. Easy and calm for all that time. No challenging point at all. Highly recommend it.
Very knowledgeable guides. Good entertainment. Really enjoyed.
Kipu Ranch adventures ATV tour was amazing! It had been raining all day, so we weren’t sure if we would be able to go, but the rain made the ride even better! Lots of serious water to drive through! Giggles and Mana were amazing guides! Incredible scenery and tons of fun! Thanks for helping make our time in Kauai awesome!
What a great adventure. Seth, our activity guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. He was personable as he asked for our names and remembered then throughout. The other guides were just as great, Missy and a name I can’t remember. Everyone at Backcountry Adventures were approachable and answered questions. A definite must do if visiting Kauai.
My wife and I had a great experience riding the surf w/ our guide Kristhian of Kauai Beach Boys on an outrigger/canoe. Great fun, great value!
