Zip across seven lines on a Big Island zipline tour, ending with a half-mile flight above a private 250-foot waterfall.

About this tour

Trade the ground-level view for a soaring perspective on a Big Island zipline tour through lush greenery and past cascading waterfalls. This 150-minute adventure features seven lines that build gradually in length, height, and speed, making it suitable for a range of zipline experience levels.

Take in the island’s ocean, mountain, and jungle scenery as you glide from platform to platform. The finale is a half-mile line above a private 250-foot waterfall, offering a dramatic view of the landscape below. A professional instructor and necessary equipment are provided, and rain gear is available for tours that run in wet weather.

The Big Island zipline tour meets in Honomu, on Hawaii Island, not Oahu. Check in 30 minutes early, wear enclosed shoes, and plan transportation ahead because rideshare services can be unreliable in this remote area. Guests must meet the 40–260 lb weight requirement and be able to walk half a mile over uneven terrain. Book your flight through the canopy and finish above one of the island’s striking waterfalls.
