Big Island Zipline Tour: 7 Lines Over 250-ft Waterfall

Seven ziplines that build from short to a half-mile flight over a 250-foot waterfall

Zipline seven different lines on Hawaii's Big Island, starting with shorter runs and building to a half-mile line soaring above a private 250-foot waterfall near Akaka Falls. The course is designed for all experience levels, with a professional guide, all equipment provided, and a 2.5-hour time commitment. Weight requirements are 40–260 lbs. Children under 40 lbs ride tandem with a certified guide on the final three lines.

The experience

The course starts small and works its way up. You'll zip across seven different lines, each one longer and faster than the last, over a working agricultural farm where you'll see apple banana fields, Hawaiian ginger, pineapples and sugarcane. The landscape opens up to ocean and mountain views as you progress, and the final line, half a mile long, takes you high above Kolekole Falls, a private 250-foot waterfall just downstream from the famous Akaka Falls. A professional guide runs the operation and all necessary equipment is provided.

The activity takes about 2.5 hours total. You'll check in 30 minutes before your tour time at the retail store, get driven to the zipline course, complete all seven lines, and return to the retail location. The course sits on Hawaii's Big Island, not Oahu, so plan for that geography if you're flying in from Honolulu. You need to be able to walk half a mile over uneven terrain and wear enclosed shoes, no sandals. Tours run rain or shine, and rain gear is provided.

Children aged 12 and under must have an adult with them. Kids who weigh 40–69 lbs zip tandem with a certified guide on the final three lines instead of going solo. Kids under 40 lbs cannot participate. All guests must fall between 40 and 260 lbs. You'll be weighed at check-in, and no refunds are issued if you don't meet the requirement. A liability waiver is required, and a legal guardian must sign for anyone under 18.
