The path of this mountain tubing adventure takes you through the Lihue Plantation, one of the largest sugar plantations in Hawaii. It’s a ditch and tunnel system that was used for the sugar crops, but hasn’t been used since the year 2000 when it was taken out of production. The tunnels and ditches were dug out by plantation workers over a century ago! There is so much history in this tubing adventure, and also spectacular views of the mountains that truly can’t be beat!
