An Excursion You Won't Soon Forget
Traverse Lihue's old sugar cane plantation into Kauai's pristine emerald green interior and enjoy breathtaking vistas and spectacular scenery. Then, grab a tube, don a headlamp, and jump in for a leisurely cruise.

Witness Kauai's spectacular engineering feats as you float down the tropical waterway consisting of open ditches, tunnels and flumes all of which were engineered and hand dug circa 1870. Glide on your tube through the underworld with a headlamp to lead the way. At the end of your tubing adventure, you'll be guided to an enchanted picnic area for a great picnic lunch next to a natural swimming hole.

 

Expect Fish-Free Ditches & Fun in the Tunnels
The Lihue Plantation irrigation ditch and tunnel system once irrigated vast sugar crops on Kauai but has been unused since sugar was taken out of production in 2000. The irrigation system runs through some of the most beautiful land on the island with spectacular views of the ocean, coastline and valleys. Beginning near the top of Mount Waialeale (the wettest spot on earth), the waterway and ditch system wind through open canals, rushing flumes and mysterious tunnels.

The gently flowing irrigation water creates a tubing adventure perfect for all fitness levels - something fun for everyone. After a scenic ride to the top of the mountain, you can hop in your tube and away you go. This is the perfect adventure for all!
