We did a morning tubing adventure. I found the location very easy to find, we parked to the right and checked in. We were immediately fitted for helmets and gloves, then we waited for everyone else to arrive and get checked in. Once everyone was there we loaded in two vans and headed up to the tubing area. The ride was bumpy but not bad at all, our guide was Alex...she was great, we did some ice breakers along the way and she gave us a bunch of info on the area we were heading to.

Once you arrive on the "property" you make one stop for some photos then head to the loading area. They do a safety briefing then get everyone situated to get started. The actual tubing was great, the water is not deep and does not move too quickly...the trip lasted 45 minutes to an hour.

It rained almost the entire time we were there, but when the sun did come out it was strong so some sun screen wouldn't hurt. If you have bug spray available, some is good to have on especially around the loading area, but we didn't have any and only suffered a few bites. They serve lunch after the ride, my wife said she could have done without this part, but I thought it was fine. I brought a change of clothes and was able to change at the lunch area, tho a lot of people didn't. Some rode with some type of shirt on, some didn't, if your looking to bring a GoPro that shouldn't be a problem as the water is moving slow enough.

Overall a fun, unique activity. Staff was friendly, fun and helpful, we would consider doing this again if we were able to go back to Kauai.
