Best Zip Lines

This tour was super fun! Each line gets progressively longer. The guides are knowledgeable, safe, and made it fun for all ages. My kids are 21 and 19 and loved it too!

Fantastic experience!

Made a booking for my husband and myself on my birthday. Shoutout to the entire staff, especially Kaitlyn at the front desk and Jules for taking great videos+photos throughout! As someone who’s never zip lined before, I really appreciated their pacing - starting us off at easy lines and working our way up to the harder ones. There were seven lines in total and the excursion took around two and a half hours. The tours are smaller too, which is a bonus, but be prepared to have little to no shade while you wait your turn. Highly recommend giving these guys a shot next time you’re in Hilo!

This was an amazing opportunity to see the Akaka Falls without navigating the hike. The guides were very personable and shared about the history of the land, as well as the descriptions of the fruits and fauna.

Incredible adventure!

We had an absolutely amazing time on the Zipline Adventure with Hawaii Zip Line and Hiking Tours! Flying high above the rainforest treetops while taking in breathtaking views of canyons and waterfalls was an unforgettable experience. The scenery alone is worth it, but the adventure made it even more exciting. A huge thank you to our guides Torrance and Julia, and our driver Rose, who were fantastic from start to finish. They were energetic, fun, and incredibly encouraging, making sure everyone felt comfortable while always putting safety first. Their enthusiasm was contagious and they truly made the experience memorable. If you're looking for an exciting way to experience Hawaii's natural beauty, I can't recommend this tour enough. We had such a great time and can't wait to come back and do it again!

Great fun...even if I do hate heights!

Wow! To zipline over Akaka Falls was nothing short of amazing! Our guides were great and we also learned a lot about this area of Hawaii. Highly recommend it. Also, I do have a great fear of heights, but for some reason, I'm always able to push through with ziplining.

It was a lot of fun. From start till the end Rose, Armani and Caitlin made us feel at ease. I’m there to watched my GS Draven enjoy, but I enjoyed it too as I realized I had to put my full trust in these three amazing instructors. Highly recommend to those families with young kids

Easy Starts to Adrenaline-Pumping Finishes

This was a great zipline activity for my family which included my adult son and 10-year-old daughter. My daughter who weighs 90lbs - we were concerned about her weight and if she would be able to ride alone - non tandem. These lines are perfect for small children or first timers who are afraid of heights. This tour gradually introduces you and works you up slowly. The zip line company was great and highly focuses on safety. The entire team was very helpful.

Thrill of a Lifetime - everyone wins and experiences the beauty of the earth.

The Zip Line Experience was an enjoyable and safe environment of recreational fun. The staff was very accommodating to all of the anxiety, fears, and consciousness of human behavior. Safety was always the first priority and no one felt isolated. It was a team effort From everyone. I would not change anything about this recreational business or the staff who operates it.
