9-line Adventure 9 ziplines and 4 bridges
Once you're off the ground, you're in the trees the whole time on our premiere canopy tour! You'll zip through a tropical forest of towering eucalyptus, cross aerial canopy bridges and finish with a 1000-foot line that zips through a tree tunnel, while drinking in dramatic ocean and mountain views. Great fun while you learn about Hawaii's native plants and unique ecosystem.
Duration: 3 hours
6-line Adventure 6 ziplines and 4 bridges
You'll zip on six different l ines through the beautiful tree canopy and cross four aerial canopy bridges on this tour. Fly high over ravines and forest floor and observe native and introduced trees and plants.
Duration: 2.5 hours
3-line Adventure 3 ziplines and 1 bridge
If you want the rush of a zipline but need to keep it short, this one's for you! Two zips over lush valleys and a scenic trek over a canopy bridge lead up to our 1,000-ft line and a zip through a tree tunnel in the tropical forest canopy.
Duration: 1 hour
You can also test yourself and your group on our brand new
Tango Tower with seven unique climbing challenges. Or, if relaxing and taking in the sights is more your style, our Treehouse is sure to please. Built among the trees with three overhanging decks, it’s a great place for photos, kicking-back, and watching the zipline action.
