Awesome Zipping Through the Trees! - This is the second time we did this zip line excursion and just love it. We had guides Boo-boo and Decker. They were awesome and fun. We did the afternoon 2pm zip and we had a breeze blowing which helped keep us cool. This line has 8 zips and about 4-5 bridges that are so scary fun to walk across. We felt safe and taken care of the whole time. 1000% recommend this zip tour. We have done alll of the zip lines on the island and this is the most unique and fun experience.

For the nervous folks out there - This review is for the hesistant/nervous folks. Took my 12 year old daughter. Was nervous about the self braking I read about in reviews-- but there's no need to worry about it at all. She weighs 80lbs, and never had to brake for herself. I weigh 130lbs, and never came fast enough to the platform to get the signal to brake. We did a practice self- braking demo once and it was easy. Every step/zip/etc was explained then demonstrated in great detail by the two guides with us. One of the guides, Jake, has a 6th sense and reads people pretty well.. He was very much in tune with who was feeling nervous, etc. For those nervous about ziplining and walking across suspension bridges- there's an initial 2 short ziplines with bridges in the beginning to get your feet wet. You likely can change your mind after the two zips and back out in that area. The scariest bridge I believe was in that first part- so if you can make it past that bridge, you'll be fine in all the other bridges. You are connected to something at all times during the tour. Whether on a tree platform, traversing a bridge, etc, you are 100% connected to something. I was nervous at first, as I had my daughter, but by the first zip I realized we were in great hands and the whole thing was pretty safe. There's a quick water break midway and at the end. It does get pretty warm up there. The short trip to and from the zip area and the office is in an air conditioned van. I hope to do this again with one of my younger kids, once they meet the weight requirement. Shoutout to Jake and Kodi. You guys make a great team. Thank you for the wonderful experience. My daughter and I had such a fun time.

Ziplining with a view - This was a great ziplining experience. You’re up in the trees on high platforms. The view was gorgeous. Nick and Cody were our guides. They were funny and knowledgeable. I highly recommend.

Big Island Zipline Adventure - We did this activity as a family of 4 (with 2 teenage girls). The zip line group was 8 people total, lived the small group. We had Nick and Cody as our amazing guides! They were really fun! As a first timer, I appreciated the very clear directions and demonstrations on how to zip line safely. One of the guides took pictures of our family throughout the experience, which we then could purchase digital copies for around $20. I thought this was a nice touch and it wasn’t outrageously expensive to get those memories. The guides also gave information about the small towns on our drive to and from the course, along with recommendations for great food, shopping and other fun things in the area. Highly recommend!!
