Additional Information
Zip Isle’s ambitious Zip Line Adventure at Botanical World is considered the most thrilling zipline experience in Hawaii, and potentially the entire world. This adventure boasts 8 zipline courses, manually increasing in intensity towards the final two ziplines, which offer a side-by-side layout for zipping with a companion. The culmination of this adventure is a larger-than-life 330 foot (100 meter) canyon zip, backdropped by a mesmerizing 250 foot (76 meter) waterfall. Since 2009, Zip Isle has been the longest continuously operating zipline provider on the Big Island, proud of its flawless safety profile. The excitement amplifies with each zip, as the lengths progressively increase. The breathtaking sights from the aerial bridge narrate the authentic Hawaiian experience, as you pass an ancient, gigantic mango tree that may have witnessed the historic King Kamehameha strolling along the stream ravine below. Our experienced guides will not only unfold the countless mysteries of the native flora, but also allow you to savor the local fruits and spices, all while narrating the history of this distinct rainforest locale.

Ziplining, plant tasting, waterfalls, pigs and more! - This was so much more than ziplining! We got too see, taste, and play with some of Hawaii's wild plants. Our tour guides were Tryson, Kanani, and Emma. They were so playful and had tons of shenanigans to share while we traveled between ziplines. I actually learned about wildlife on the trip when I thought it would just be ziplining. Also their pet pigs are super cute. The ziplines were of course GORGEOUS, especially the waterfalls.

Perfect Hawaiian adventure - Reid, Shane, and Emma were the best guides we could have asked for! They had excellent music choices and made us all feel at ease. Emma did the best job calming my nerves on the last line when I felt anxious. 10/10 recommend if you're considering a visit to the Big Island!!!!!

Take the leap, you will not regret it - This was our first time Zip Lining and we were very scared at the beginning, Emma and Kanani were very reassuring and patient. By the last zip we were all excited to jump! The whole experience was great. Kanani and Emma were our teachers and our photographers as well as keeping us safe and excited. The waterfall on the last jump was breath taking. If you are heavy and think you can’t do it, that’s not true. We are late 50’s early sixties and all over 230 and we had a great time. Zip line here, you will not regret it!

Grab the chance to Zipline! - Kai and Shane managed and wholly entertained us on the exciting zip line adventure with 8 zip lines. Stunning scenery! Clear instructions and suggestions! Lots of info about the botanical wonders around us- like aromatic plants, kukui nut trees, rainbow eucalyptus. These guys are terrific and the experience lets you see things you never could otherwise.

Perfect for families - Perfect trip for our family of four, girls are 12 and 9- they later said it was their favorite part of the trip overall.
The 9-year-old was afraid at first, did the first zipline attached to Shane and after that eagerly did them all in her own. Shane and John were our guides, both were exceptionally patient and entertaining. Shane has been doing this for something like 20+ years and used to teach taekwondo and this really showed in how he encouraged and spoke so perfectly with the kids in our group.
No steep climbs or treacherous terrain to navigate, gear felt comfortable and safe even on my 225 lb 5’5” frame, which is saying something.
I loved that the kids could wander in the hedge maze afterward, which gave me some time to walk around and enjoy the botanical garden.
My only warning is that your family won’t be satisfied with one-and-done for this zipline… they will ask to come back and do it again.

Best Views Ziplining - This was my mom's first time ziplining and she LOVED it! I loved it! The views were unreal! Tryson, Litha, and Ivory were all so funny and made us feel safe. If you're in Kona and thinking about ziplining, these are the guys to do it with! Just do it!!! You won't regret it.
