Kauai Tubing / River Rafting

This unique activity allows families of all ages to travel back in time to the old sugar cane plantation era of 1870. A series of ditches, tunnels, and flumes was hand-dug by Chinese laborers to deliver water from the rainforest to thirsty sugar cane fields near Lihue. This land is privately owned and has never before been accessible to the public. The recent closure of the Lihue plantation has made this tour possible. Kauai's visitors have the chance to travel into the island's interior and witness this engineering feat in a fun and relaxing way!
