    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.

    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.

      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! 😂
