Mountain Tubing Tour Features

Views of Waialae Crater

Your mountain tubing adventure has exclusive access to the historic irrigation system of the former Lihue Plantation. This ditch and tunnel system that once irrigated vast sugar crops had been unused since sugar was taken out of production in 2000. This water system runs through some of the most beautiful and remote land on the island. It includes spectacular views of the mountains and Waialeale Crater. The waters which originate near the top of Mount Waialeale, one of the wettest spots in the world, are channeled through ditches and tunnels hand-dug by plantation workers over a century ago!

Definitely! This is open to ages 5 and up. Itʻs a gentle ride down smooth flowing canals. The tunnels are fun and the kids enjoy the excitement going through them with just the headlamp.

Will we be going down dangerous rapids?

No this is more of a relaxing, gentle coasting down a lazy river type of activity
