The FlyLine stretches three-quarters of a mile across Kauai's ranch land

You'll zip across four lines that escalate in speed and distance, race a friend on the 1,800-foot course, splash into a natural pool via the WaterZip, then fly headfirst down Hawaii's longest zipline at 60 mph. The tour includes all safety gear, water, cookies, and parking. Dress in a swimsuit and closed-toe shoes with tread, bring sunscreen and a hat, and plan for a few hours of non-stop action.

The Experience

The 4,000-foot FlyLine is the thing you'll think about before you book and the thing you'll replay after you land. You launch headfirst in a Superman harness, the ground dropping away fast, and the line pulls you across Kipu Ranch at speeds up to 60 mph. It's the finale, but it's also the reason the whole tour exists — everything before it is the build.

The day starts smaller. An 800-foot warm-up line sets you 150 feet above the valley, which sounds high until you're standing at the platform and the guide clips you in. Then comes the 1,800-foot side-by-side race course where you and whoever came with you can spin, flip, or just hold on and try to beat the other person's time. The guides call out your speed as you land. After that comes the WaterZip — a natural bamboo pool fed by lava rock, and you drop into it from the line itself. It's the only moment the pace slows, and it's deliberate; the water cools you down before the big one.

The guides handle the logistics so you don't have to think about anything except what's coming next. They give you safety instructions before each line, hand out fresh-baked cookies and bottled water between runs, and fill the ride with local stories about the ranch and the island. The gear is included — harness, helmet, gloves — and they check everything twice. You show up in a swimsuit and shoes with tread (no flip-flops; the ground gets muddy), and they take it from there. Free parking at Kipu Ranch, no hidden fees, no warm-up lines to sit through.

The whole thing runs in all weather, so bring a light rain jacket or windbreaker just in case, and sunscreen even if the sky looks cloudy. A camera works if it's secure, and a hat keeps the sun off while you're waiting between lines. The minimum age is 7, and you need to weigh between 60 and 275 pounds and be at least 4 feet tall — those limits exist because the harnesses and lines are engineered for specific ranges, not because the tour is too hard.

What’s included

Your tour includes use of all safety gear and harnesses, four ziplines ranging from 800 to 4,000 feet, the WaterZip natural bamboo pool splash, bottled water, locally baked cookies, and free parking at Kipu Ranch.
