Bose gases confined in highly-elongated harmonic traps are investigated over a wide range of interaction strengths using quantum Monte Carlo techniques. We find that the properties of these gases are well reproduced by a 1d model Hamiltonian with contact interactions. We point out the existence of a unitary regime, where the properties of the quasi-1d Bose gas become independent of the actual value of the 3d scattering length. In this unitary regime, the energy of the system is well described by a hard rod equation of state. The stability of quasi-1d Boses gases with positive and negative 3d scattering length is discussed. We contrast the behaviors of quasi-1d Bose gases with those of quasi-1d two-component Fermi gases and quasi-1d spin-polarized Fermi gases.
