Perfect day in Hawaii - This was such a fun and memorable experience ! We were picked up by our guide Dane promptly and driven with one other couple, to Hawi, to begin the biplane tour. The instructions and safety briefing were clear and timely. Then we were off to a private spot in the forest to biplane. There was a perfect mix of suspension bridges and zip lines to make this tour smooth and interesting. Bobo took excellent pictures. To be offered all the pics taken by him at the incredible price of $20 was a shock! Then when we ere done zip lining we were driven to a secluded privately owned land area to have lunch overlooking a valley and breathtaking cliff drop off. We were served delicious and fresh lunch, I had a salad topped with meat of my choice, as we were able to order ahead. This was the gluten free option. After lunch and we were driven down to a waterfall on this private land. This was so special. We swam, got under the falls, and hung out with Dane who was so kind and forthcoming with history of Hawaii. After this we were driven back to the store in Hawi and we had 20 minutes to walk around, get ice cream and shop. Then we were driven back to our accomodation in Mauna Lani. This was THE PERFECT DAY!! Started at 7:40am and dropped off by 3:30pm . I HIGHLY recommend this tour. You get so much for the price. And the operator is genuine and really does care about their tourists and their land.

Perfect day to fly through the rainforest - Dane was an excellent guide! I wish I could remember the other man's name, but they were safety minded first, then let's have a blast, which I appreciated. I loved picking guava off the tree and just eating it on the way to the lagoon. Lunch was delicious and the view was incomparable. This was truly a treat.

- This was a fantastic day; well spent, in Hawaii. Wilson...our all-day guide... was fun; empathetic, knowledgable; and efficient. Plus...a great photographer. He pointed out birds, exotic plants; and more. He was on a first name basis with everyone. Zipline was fantastic. The waterfall pool was great fun. Lunch was epic with the cliffs as backdrop. Also, Jake, our main zip guide was the best. I have zipped in Alaska; Costa Rica; Mexico; the Virgin Islands; and more. I've never had such a personable; fun; and safety minded guide. This is the tour to take.

Zip and Dip - This was an amazing experience. One of the best ziplines we've done. Wilson was our driver and very knowledgeable about the area, the volcanoes, and the plant and marine life. Nick and Brogan were great as well.

Excellent adventure zipping and dipping! - Excellent adventure on the Zip and Dip!! Erik and Brogan were the best guides and made our day so much fun!! Safety was obviously a top priority for them but Erik and Brogan were also engaging and fun and provided lots of interesting facts and history about Hawaii. The variety of sky bridges and zip lines were great - could have spent the whole day doing these in amongst the lush trees and plants of the forest. The hike to the waterfalls after lunch was a lot of fun. The view from our lunch spot was breathtaking as well!

The Rock Stars of Safety & Fun! - Kane and crew are true professionals, and made this adventure one to remember! Driving rain and wind shut the zipline down after 2 of the 8 lines, which was disappointing but the smart decision. In my previous career I inspected ziplines, so I am hyper-aware of safety precautions - and I was VERY impressed with this company's commitment to doing everything by the book. The guides seem to have eyes on the back of their head and when a customer did something even slightly questionable, we were quickly reminded how to comply with the safety standards. The dip into a waterfall pool would be delightful in warm weather. I highly recommend Hawaii Forest & Trail and their tours.

Wonderful and Fun Excursion - My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our day ziplining and swimming under the waterfall.
Our guides Decker and Curtis were so knowledgeable about the whole area, and gave us an excellent information about the history of the area, and the plant life we saw. They were also very safety conscious! We enjoyed the fact that safety was the #1 priority for everyone in the group! Decker and Curtis also communicated well and did so with a great sense of humor.
The spot we stopped for lunch was worth the price of admission alone! And our lunch was more than adequate with delicious sandwiches, cookie and drinks provided. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting the Bug Island! My husband and I are 65 and 58 and we managed the day well. Thank you to our guides and this beautiful island for a day we will never forget!
