Little scary, lof ot fun - My wife, nephew (18) and I had so much fun on this tour. Kodi and Brogan did a great job entertaining us and making us feel safe. We were all somewhat afraid of heights, which made the bridges a little terrifying, but the zipping is so much fun. We were so glad we did it. It's also a great reason to go visit Kohala, an interesting and unique part of Hawaii.

Very special way to experience Hawaii! - This adventure was a highlight of our trip to Hawaii. Our guides, Curtis and Eli, were AMAZING! Equally committed to our safety AND our fun, and wonderfully able to relate to all ages, our one boy who chose to stay home was regretting that decision based on how we talked about our guides alone! The ziplines offered beautiful scenic views sprinkled with the fun of floating through the forest. We learned a lot about Hawaii too. Definitely will do this again --- and bring boy #2 w/ us! If you're debating, DO IT.

Must do - The different zip lines and bridges were so much fun! Plus the guides gave us history of the area, including the agricultural background and small towns. The scenery was beautiful as well.

Ziplining in Paradise! - This was my third time ziplining on the Big Island with family and friends. I live on island and this is my favorite outfit! Curtis and Eli were so fun, informative and very safety oriented. This was one of my sister's "bucket list" adventures and it didn't disappoint for her 70th birthday celebration! 🥳

First time Ziplining - The instructors were very knowledgeable of the equipment and also the surrounding history of a former plantation. At first I was nervous due to never doing this before but the instructors and staff were very welcoming and encouraging. If any friends, family, or coworkers go to Hawaii I would definitely recommend Kohala Zipline to them.

Don’t miss this! - This was an amazing experience. Everyone we interacted with were wonderful but a special shout out to our guides. Curtis and Decker were amazing. Shared history of the area and pointed out items of interest (including food suggestions!). They were very safety conscious and rechecked our gear at various intervals. The location itself was gorgeous. We prefer to actually zip in the tree canopy and this course delivered. Highly recommend this adventure.
