the Only Hawaii Zipline
Over a 250-foot Waterfall

Amy Glaser-Carpenter

We had a wonderful time! We enjoyed beautiful views of the local landscape and the ocean. Each zip became progressively longer and ended in a breathtaking zip over a gorgeous waterfall.

Jenny White

We've done ziplining in Hawaii before, and Hawaii Zipline Tours is hands down one of the best.

Ami Mattison

Amazing Zipline tour! I highly recommend. My fiance and I had the best time. His first time Ziplining, and everything was so well cared for and explained it kept everyone at ease.

Rachel Ladds

Great experience! Micah and Julia were great guides. We felt safe the entire time and it was amazing seeing the water falls!!

What are the requirements to zipline?

WEIGHT: Must weigh between 40lbs to 260lbs. This requirement is strictly enforced, and all participants will be weighed during the check-in process. No refunds will be issued for guests not meeting our weight requirements at check-in. All guests 40lbs-69lbs will be a “Tandem Child” and will zipline the last three lines with a certified zipline guide.

AGE:

  • Children aged 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult to participate in the zipline activity.
  • Adults are defined as individuals aged 13 and older.
  • If parents or guardians are not participating in the ziplining, we ask that they stay nearby in case their child needs to be brought back down to the check-in location.

Are there restrictions on who can zipline?

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • Able to hike 1/2 mile at elevation over uneven surfaces
  • Free of chronic heart problems
  • Not pregnant – unfortunately, it’s unsafe to zip while pregnant
  • You should not have had recent surgery; especially on ankles, knees, or back. If you have serious neck, back, or joint injuries, you should also check with your doctor.

*The inherent risks of walking on unimproved hiking trails and joint impacts associated with zipline landings should be considered before going on a zipline tour

INSPECTED DAILY: Each day, our trained staff thoroughly inspects all lines, platforms, trails, and equipment, and an accredited 3rd party ACCT inspector reviews all ziplines, equipment, and practices annually.

 

TESTED FOR SAFETY: All our equipment is tested to hold at least 5,000 pounds and each zipline cable has a minimum breaking strength of over 26,000 pounds.

 

TRAINED GUIDES: Every zipline guide goes through an 80-hour training process (double the industry standard) covering all aspects of equipment, safety, and operations. They then undergo weeks of additional on-the-job training before officially earning the title of Zipline Guide.

What should I bring / wear?

SHOES: For your safety, we ask that you wear shoes with a fully-enclosed toe and heel, like an athletic or hiking shoe. Shoes must be snug. (No Teva or Keen-type sandals with open sections or 5-finger shoes.)

CAMERAS: Cameras and cell phones are welcome, however, we recommend you securely strap them to yourself.

DRESS APPROPRIATELY: For your comfort, we recommend wearing shorts and a t-shirt, or something you would wear on a light hike. Please bring a rain jacket if you have one, if not we can provide for you.

GLASSES: Glasses and sunglasses may be worn – just be sure to bring your strap.

DITCH THE PACK: You can bring your backpack, but we’ll lock it up for you while you zip.

PROTECT YOUR SKIN: Bring your reef-safe sunscreen. We also recommend wearing clothes that help block the sun.

What if it rains?

Tours operate rain or shine. If we do cancel, we’ll make every effort to contact you in advance to reschedule or refund the tour.

What’s your cancellation policy?

Our hassle-free cancellation policy guarantees that you receive a 100% refund for any tour cancelled at least 24 hours in advance of your tour time. For cancellations made within 24 hours of your tour, we can only provide a refund if we are able to rebook the spots on your tour.

Can guests who are not ziplining watch or follow along on tour?

Unfortunately, non zipline guests are not able to accompany or watch the zipline tours.

How do guests get from the check-in area to the ziplines?

We transport our guests in a 15 passenger van both to and from the check-in location to the ziplines.

What time should I arrive for my tour?

Check-in for each tour is 30 minutes prior to scheduled tour time. (Example: Check-in for the 1:30pm Tour will be at 1:00pm). Please arrive with closed toe shoes, make sure to double check yours and any guests weights, and pre-fill out your waivers. This will allow for an easy quick check-in for your tour.
