Some kinda fun! We've zipped before, but this one is super. Guides were worthy of the tips they earned (DO NOT FORGET TO TIP-it's tough to earn a living in HI). Ziplines start with super-lame and build to unforgettable. The final 3300'+! (no kidding) run last over a minute and the view as you pass over a 200' waterfall on... More

This was on my bucket list to do and I wish I could have done it twice. It was so much fun. Very safe, very scenic and great guides. The best zip line was the last one. I wish all 7 could have been like the last one. Really a lot of fun. Great for all ages too. Beautiful scenery,... More

My husband and I took our two sons, 15 and 11 years old on this zipline. This was our second time ziplining and by far our favorite to date. There are seven ziplines total and they start you off nice and easy at first to get you comfortable. The staff is very professional and friendly and were very concerned with... More

This was the first time for both my husband and I to go ziplining, and I was quite cautious. I researched the safety record of this company before selecting them. We had a wonderful time, and I look forward to returning. The staff were all very friendly and fun to be with. Our daughter and her partner went in Jan.... More

If you are in Hilo, or on the big island at all, you have to check this out if you like adventure. The staff that worked with us were friendly and knowledgable on the environment. The zip lines were AWESOME!!!!! The last takes you over a three hundred foot waterfall. It spans 3300 feet. There are seven total lines, and... More

My husband really wanted to zipline while we were in Maui. I very reluctantly went along. SO glad I did, I had a great time! We had two wonderful guides, Kevin and Kasey, who took great care of us and had us laughing the whole time. If you are considering doing this, I would highly recommend it, you won't be... More

Their location and their ziplines are amazing. They have a great staff with a safe and refreshing approach to fun. They are knowledgeable and informative. All... More

Beautiful waterfalls and scenery! The guides were very informative, but fun and relaxing too. Be sure to bring a camera and good walking shoes. Be prepared to be amazed!! If you've never ziplined before, this is a 'must do'. You will want to do it again....I know we will!!
