TUBING THE DITCH EXPEDITION NWK-092

Approximate Duration: 3 hours Level 2

This is a unique tubing adventure that takes you back in time to the sugar plantation era. Relive old traditions and tube the historic waterways consisting of flumes and ditches of the old Lihue Plantation. This is an exclusive tubing experience that occurs on private lands that have never before been open to the public. Traverse an old sugar cane plantation into Kauai’s unspoiled interior and enjoy breathtaking vistas and spectacular scenery. A short drive takes you to the headwaters of the four-mile long Hanama`ulu Ditch system, where you will begin your tubing expedition. 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 1912. At the end of your tubing adventure, you will be whisked away to an enchanted picnic area complete with a pristine swimming hole to enjoy your delicious snack. After spending an hour swimming and picnicking, you’ll be returned to the cruise ship pier. Truly a unique and memorable experience for the entire family!
