Zipline Through the Hakalau Rainforest
Experience an unforgettable rainforest zipline adventure on Hawaii’s Big Island as you glide through lush tropical landscapes near Hilo.
Gather your group, don your helmets, and follow our tour guides into the picturesque Hawaiian rainforest. You will zip across valley gulches filled with waterfalls, streams, and tropical plants, then cross a thrilling suspension bridge along the course.
As the tour continues, the ziplines grow longer and faster, giving guests the opportunity to race side-by-side across the rainforest canopy. The Grand Finale is fly over a 300’ (92m) waterfall that is one of the most beautiful in Hawaii.
