Review of Kauai backcountry adventures

I knew that I wanted to do the tubing trip. But I wasn't sure what to expect. I hear that there are concerns about those with back injuries, and I couldn't get answers about why that was the concern. The drive up wasn't bad. The road was fairly smooth for most of the road, and the dirt portion wasn't bad at all. The tubing portion has you scrunched into a tube for a while, so how you position yourself can be a concern.

The guides were great. Very entertaining, Very informative, and they kept your attention fairly well. Of all the things that I did in Kauai, this is one of the most rewarding for the money spent.

Make sure you lock up your valuables in the car. Only bring with you, the things you plan on getting in the water with. They do have totes for you to drop things off, but if you plan ahead, then you don't need to worry.

Most of the tubing trip was smooth and relaxing. There is one dip that you go down, but it isn't much to sweat about.

They take photos throughout the trip, so if you don't bring a camera it isn't a huge deal, but we brought a waterproof camera. I know I saw some people with go pro's

There is a catered lunch at the end. Nothing spectacular, but it was nice. Basically a cold cut (you assemble) sandwich which chips and water.
