Customer Reviews
No Regrets!
From start to finish, Curtis and Kyrah made everyone feel welcome with their friendliness and humor. The zip lines were fun and the suspension bridges added to the excitement. We had a great time and would love to do this again.
Highly recommend to everyone!!!
We were first time zip liners in our group of 8. What an amazing experience. Our guides couldn't have been any better — patient, skillful, and committed to everyone having a great/safe experience. We were surprised by the rope suspension bridges we had to cross, but they were safe and fun!
High quality, tons of fun, beautiful views
We were very impressed with Kohala Zipline. We found our guides to be very kind and knowledgable — they shared a bunch of information about Hawaiian ecology that was a true highlight of the tour for me. If we make it back to the Big Island, I would not hesitate to come back.
