Eight ziplines building to a 330-foot gorge, then a suspension bridge over a centuries-old mango tree

Zip Isle Zipline Adventures on the Big Island is an eight-line zipline course through rainforest that gets progressively longer and faster, ending with dual side-by-side zips over a 330-foot gorge and 300-foot waterfall. The course includes a suspension bridge crossing and a free self-guided botanical garden tour; a professional guide handles all rigging and safety, shares knowledge of local plants and history, and lets you taste fruits and spices along the way. The experience runs 2.5 hours and suits anyone from age 4 up to 275 pounds, with children between 35 and 70 pounds zipping tandem with the guide.

The Experience

Eight ziplines means eight chances to pick up speed as you move through the canopy. The first few are shorter, letting you get used to the harness and the view below; each one gets longer and faster than the last. By the time you reach the final two side-by-side zips, you're racing a friend across a half-mile stretch while the 250-foot Kamaee Falls drops past you. The suspension bridge comes before that finale—a crossing high enough to see the massive mango tree hundreds of years old rooted in the stream gorge below, the kind of landmark that anchors a story you'll tell for years.

The guide handles all the technical setup: full body harness, rigging, helmet. They also know the rainforest—which plants are edible, which ones have a history here, what the stream gorge meant to the people who lived on this land. You get to taste what grows there. The course runs rain or shine, and the 2.5 hours includes time on the lines themselves plus the botanical garden you can walk through at your own pace before or after. Water stations are set up along the route.

Weight matters here: you need to be under 275 pounds to zip, and if you're between 35 and 70 pounds, you'll go tandem with the guide on two of the lines—which means you still get the full experience, just with an extra set of hands. Children as young as 4 can come. Souvenir photos are free, and the guide takes them as you move through the course. Bring closed-toe shoes; if you don't have them, shoe rental with socks is available for a small fee.

Is this one for you?Groups stay small enough that the guide can share stories about the plants and history as you move through the rainforest, and children between 35 and 70 pounds zip tandem with them rather than solo, which keeps the experience safe and social for families with younger kids.
