Shoot the Tubes in Kauai

[hch3rd]

I will be leaving on the Wind next Wednesday (8/11). Four of us want to tube the ditch. Online we can get tickets for $79.90 and $99.00 through NCL. We can save a little money renting the car - is it worth it or should we just do it throught NCL? What if we are late to port, etc.?

Sounds like a lot of fun!

 

The Serenade does not go to Kauai, but I like the idea of inner tubes better than being in a canoe type tube.

 

Anyone know where else this excursion is offer...with the inner tubes?

The link you gave is for Kauai Backcountry Adventures in Kauai, not Maui.

You're right. My mistake.

We did Flumin Da Ditch on the Big Island. It was a lot of fun.

 

Since we did go thru some tunnels, we did wear hardhats. Besides protecting our heads, they provided a mounting place for our miner's lights.

 

And people did get wet because we seemed to have to go thru a waterfall at the end of each tunnel. Of course, the steersman had some influence on that :)

We liked it enough that we are now signed up for the Kauai version in December.

When you did Flumin the Ditch on the big island, what time did it run and from which port Hilo or Kona?

I'll try to post just one answer to the Flumin Da Ditch question :)

 

If your cruise offers it, it would be out of Kailua-Kona. It is based in Kohala 20 miles or so north of there. We were staying on the Big Island at that time, so we just drove up on our own.
