Kaua'i Adventures: Take Two

On Kaua'i there is an old sugar plantation with a pretty good-sized irrigation canal through it. To build it they shipped over a bunch of Chinese men from, you guessed it, California. I can’t remember how long it took them to dig through all the hills, but at one point we were under 50ft of rock. The canal goes through five very cool tunnels. The activity is called mountain tubing. Basically, you get on a tube wearing a hard hat with a light, sit back and enjoy the ride. A Kaua’i must!! And no the sugar plantation is no longer in service.

Testing...


The water was brisk baby! But here we go!


Some lady asked us if we were sisters. What?!


In the "play area" they let us get off our tubes.


End of the line.


Huh?!

Kaua'i Adventures: Take One

I had yet another business trip to Kaua'i which happened to be on Labor Day weekend so, mom and I decided to make it a four day weekend adventure! I took a ton of pictures so it will take me a few different posts to get the whole weekend up. It will also come to you in no particular order. Our zip lining adventure was one to remember. Nothing better than flying through the air over river valleys. Please forgive the poor photo quality. I did not want to take a nice digital camera. We bought one time use cameras for the hardcore activites. Enjoy!
