Big Island · KOHALA ZIPLINE & CANOPY ADVENTURES
10 reviewed
The Kohala and Hamakua gulches were made for ziplines: long spans over waterfalls and a green canopy. These are the courses worth booking: how many lines and how long the cables run, waterfall views versus forest, weight and age limits, and what each ticket costs.

“We chose to try this Zipline over others due to the unique canopy experience and the views, and it did not disappoint. My whole family had a great time. They are all so friendly, and the guides had us entertained the entire time. The ziplines felt very safe so no problems there. The market attached to the lobby is fantastic great breakfast sandwiches! The small town charm of hawi is so beautiful. Stop for lunch or even snacks and a smoothie at the market across the road. Head out and take a right and drive until the road ends to a beautiful canyon, no crowds.”
Nine ziplines at Umauma Falls, then a private waterfall swim with kayaks and paddleboards, plus lunch, in about four hours.
“Amazing, amazing, amazing. When 4/4 teenagers agree that this was the highlight of their 10 day vacation on the Big Island (we did many other fun activities as well including snorkeling, whale watching, swimming with the turtles, renting SUP along the bay, and parasailing) that should tell you all you need to know. We had ages 19, 18, 16, and 15 (plus their old Mamma here), and everyone agreed this was the best day. I was actually a tiny bit surprised to hear 3 of the 4 say that the dip portion of the Zip and Dip was actually the top favorite even over the ziplines themselves. I had come…”
