I tried something different with editing this video as there are a lot of videos on this popular tour, a little tongue and cheek with the tour steps. I hope you enjoyed the video.

[@scottscaek1605]

This was, by far, the best activity we’ve done on Kauai.

[@Huntress59]

I did this with my family, including my 80 year old mother who’s in good shape. We all loved it ! It’s beautiful and relaxing .

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

That’s great to hear! Easily accessible. Thanks for sharing!

[@fencingkitty9166]

My husband and I did this one when we were on Kauai about a year and a half ago and can agree, it is a GREAT tour! Could tell we were from the northern/mid-west...everyone else was like 'oh my gosh cold' and we were like 'huh, this is nice x D '

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

haha, exactly. visitors acclimate quickly to the Hawaii weather.

[@SpaceyStacy74]

I loved your step style video with the funny captions. Very cute and looks so fun!

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

thanks for the feedback! another point for this style

[@lisablueeyes941]

This looks amazing!

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

It’s a lot of fun!

[@harleymorgan3237]

LOVE THIS TOUR. Probably my third favorite tour on Kauai. Doors off helicopter tour is #1 followed by a Na Pali coast boat tour. I enjoyed this video, as I do with all of them. I also enjoyed the Kauai Safari Rum tour. Will be back in Kauai in October and looking forward to this tour again.

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

I’m while you didn’t ask for my opinion, I agree with your rankings. See the Napali Coast anyway one can: boat, kayak, helicopter, plane, or hike. Thanks for watching and enjoy your October trip. We are heading back soon too!

[@thomasw5430]

Looks like a lot of fun! I personally enjoyed the editing!

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

thanks for the feedback on the new style!

[@minajfp405]

Soo worth it. This was so much fun! Highly reccommend!

[@adamlamberti1805]

This video was awesome. Thank you for putting a well made video of this experience! This looks awesome. I must purchase your vacation guide on your site as our family is heading to the big island in June 2023.

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Have a wonderful trip in June! We are big fans of the Island of Hawai'i. I am sure Kilauea will still be erupting. I hope I didn't jinx that. Thanks for grabbing the itinerary!

[@Cruisingfoodies]

Love this! Definitely bringing the kids on this next trip to Kauai

[@creativecheersoffashionlau7364]

Wow never heard of this tour! Looks like it is really for almost everyone( handicapped person here but I think i can manage if I don’t fall out of the floaty!) Great alternative for people who cannot go on a hike ( unfortunately).

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

there are three guides on the tour with you if you tip over! thanks for watching and have fun!!

[@AdamsAdventures_]

Looks like so much fun!

[@alexxxisallure]

I've done this tour a few times, we LOVED it!

We did this in 2015. Was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun!

[@laurenstrasser]

Sounds sooo fun!

[@suitesandlobbies]

Great video, love the camera work and editing. Will put this on the list when visiting Kauai.

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Thanks so much! Enjoy your Kaua’i vacation

[@raddadchad]

glad I saw this- adding it

[@wnmech6495]

Awesome looking tour

[@Shoes4Life]

My husband and I did this back in 2018 and really enjoyed it. Being from Canada, the water was not that cool for us but others seemed to disagree. lol Great video, you captured the experience perfectly!

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Haha, not cold but cold. Time to go again!

[@samjones2439]

Looks like a lot of fun!

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

It was a blast. Thanks for watching

[@juliepoolie5494]

We did this years ago. Our daughter (8 at the time) was very nervous in the tunnels. Had to leave the tour with her while hubby and son continued on. No one yelled “shame” lol. They were very nice and professional. I loved the tour and would like a do-over!

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

perhaps your daughter wants a do-over also! I bet our son wouldn't have loved the tunnels either

[@juliepoolie5494]

@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide She would love a do-over! It really is an amazing adventure !

[@mattsawyer4972]

Have done this tour and exactly as I remember. Excellent video. Coming back to Hawaii Nov 2023!

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Thanks, enjoy the trip back in November! I love editing these tour videos as I get to relive the experience.

[@Colette_Leroux]

I’ll also be in Kauai in November! First time going to Kauai. I’ve only been to Hawaii one other time. Big Island October-November or 2021!

[@mattsawyer4972]

@@Colette_Leroux great! Loved this tour. Very friendly Staff and a lot of fun. Looking forward to visiting the island again soon!

[@Colette_Leroux]

I just bought tickets for my one week Kaua’i trip in November! Looking for things to do on the island! I’ll add this to my list!! I’ll check out your website to make sure I don’t miss anything!

thanks for watching and have a great trip in November! A Napali Coast boat tour is hard to skip too. Are favorite tours are listed here: thehawaiivacationguide.com/activity_category/kauai/

@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide Thank you!

[@Tylerbolen]

notification gang. Looks like a ton of fun!

[@ellenwinters1997]

We did this tour a few years ago and LOVED it!! I'm very claustrophobic and was worried about the tunnels but I only had a difficult time during the last 30 seconds of the longest tunnel. 😕 Loved the lunch at the end, the tour guides were AWESOME! One of our guides started singing a Backstreet Boys song and many of us sang along! LOL It was a blast! P.S. I was so grateful for the quality of the miners helmets as I hit my head several times on the walls of the tunnel! Once, it was quite hard and I'm sure I would have had a concussion if not for that helmet! 😂

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Thanks for sharing. The guides are very entertaining. Also a good source for local travel tips.

[@windsongdesigns6655]

Fun video. I like everything but the dark tunnels. Do you spend a lot of time in them? Thanks for doing a video on my favorite island. Cheers from Canada.

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

You're in and out of the tunnels, see the comments as someone else said they got through it okay.

[@DustinFraserMusic]

My wife and I did this yesterday haha, super fun experience.

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

The KZbin algorithm knew you did so they recommended the video. Always watching. I’m glad you had fun like we did!

[@melmjetset1876]

Did u have a mic on? Clear sound no wind sounds was nice watching

[@kerri5619]

Aloha , Great video looks fun my husband was just asking about something like this the other day. A friend told him about it at work. We are coming to Hawaii for vacation ( first time super excited) in august but we’re going to Maui. Do they have anything like this there? We’re staying at the Aston ka’anapali shore resort. Mahalo

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

There are irrigation canals in East Maui but tubing isn’t allowed. I’m afraid you’ll have to head to Kauai for this experience.

[@vegangurl4eva]

I did this tour in 2008. And I AM claustrophobic! Oops! I did ok until we all turned our lamps off in the middle of the longest tunnel! 😂. Focused on my breath and tried not to freak out. 😮. But it was fun and it was beautiful.

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

You have guts! We’ll done on controlling it. That tip can help others who are worried about the tunnels

[@MsAutie]

Is there a way to go around the tunnels rather than going thru them if you are claustrophobic?

[@teresarr07]

​@MsAutie there is only one canal it looks like and 5+ tunnels. Youd have to stop and get out and not continue the tubing.

[@MsAutie]

@@teresarr07 Thank you

[@peterbrabender4447]

What is the quietest time of the year to visit Kauai ?, I don't mind rain I like it I have to I'm from Scotland 😊, great video

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

The shoulder season of September, Oct, Nov

[@peterbrabender4447]

Thanks for the information...

[@laurentruesdell8040]

What 360 camera is Jordan using during this video?? Thanks so much!

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

My new Insta360. Figuring out how to use it. I scraped the lens on the tunnel rock!

[@vic_the_roman]

People do this in Puerto Rico too. 😎

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

great to know!! I'll still say it is the only place in America until someone tells me otherwise.

[@vic_the_roman]

@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide Puerto Rico is a US territory, a Commonwealth of the United States. Regardless, tubing ancient aqueducts has been a thing on the island via a tour company kinda like the one there on Kauai.

[@alexandriarodriguez1778]

What sandals are you wearing in this video? I want a pair! Haha

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Erica is always wearing her Tevas in the water! thehawaiivacationguide.com/hawaii-travel-gear/

[@cherylmorey5738]

Is there a better time of day to book this tour (morning vs afternoon)? Does the weather (temp or rain) come into play?

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Aloha Cheryl, it is a rainy part of the island so rain happens. Not a big deal. I don't think the time of day matters. Go in the late morning when it is a little warmer. It will by 75 by 8am!

[@TheMrunicycle]

How long is the ride? (How long are you actively floating down the river vs prep time)?

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

I think it was an hour in the canal

[@jacobs4985]

How accessible is the mountain tubing from Lihue airport? I could not find the bus to get there. I don't think it's worth renting a car either as I only stay there for 8 hours.

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

It is a quick drive from the airport, take a taxi, uber, or lyft as I mentioned in your other comment. Enjoy your quick visit to Kauai!

[@donnasnyder5706]

What is the age limit can kids go on that trip 🤔

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

5 and above. any smaller and they will fall through the tube!

[@ciprymolina3907]

May you share the address?

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

See the link in the description for more info.

[@oly6912]

I was told it's $300 and only lasts 45 min... 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

It is expensive at $149 a person. The tour is three hours and the tubing part is 90 minutes I think. Th so for watching

[@JoeyDoingThings]

It’s worth the money. I’d do it again.
