Kauai Backcountry Adventures

If you’re looking for fun, Kauai Backcountry Adventures is the place to go!

Why Backcountry?

Kauai Backcountry Adventures has something special to offer that you can’t get most places, even within Kauai. They have exclusive access to 17,000 acres of former plantation lands, so you get to experience the beauty of nature and also witness Hawaii’s past, in person. When mountain tubing, you’ll drive through old sugar plantations and tube down the open canals and tunnels of the plantation’s irrigation system. When ziplining on the seven-line course, you’ll traverse the side of a historic mountain down to a bamboo grove. Kauai Backcountry Adventures also pride themselves on providing ecotourism activities with minimal environmental impact, while also restoring and preserving Kauai’s history and culture.

Mountain Tubing

Mountain tubing is a unique and memorable experience that the whole family can enjoy! Head out on four-wheel-drive vehicles, trekking through Kauai’s old plantations and learning about the history of Kauai. When you arrive at the launch site, grab a tube and a headlamp, and take the jump into gentle waters. While this adventure is exciting and memorable, it’s still relaxing and peaceful. Float down open canals and tunnels, admiring amazing engineering. These canals were built to water plantation sugar crops in 1893. When you emerge into natural scenery, you’ll take in the beauty of the mountains and Wai’ale’ale Crater. At the end of your trip, enjoy a picnic lunch provided for you at a refreshing natural swimming hole. 

Zipline Tour

Calling all thrill-seekers! Head out to the ziplines on a four-wheel-drive vehicle, surrounded by beautiful foliage and history. At the ziplines, you’ll be brief thoroughly so you’re fully prepared for your journey. It’s a thrilling journey: soaring like a bird over the rainforest, descending a mountainside and gliding over valleys and lush tropical forests, flowing streams and tropical jungles. Your trip ends with refreshing snacks at a natural swimming hole and bamboo grove.  

No matter what you’re in the mood for, from thrilling to relaxing, Kauai Backcountry Adventures is ready to bring you fantastic and fun experiences you’ll remember for the rest of your life!
