Customer Reviews
Exhilarating for sure!
My experience with Back Country zip line was wonderful! I couldn't have asked for better guides. These young men are the best!!! I was so nervous being that high up, I was shaking, and they did a great job walking me through it all. Thoroughly enjoyed every zip line (there were 7). If I ever go zip lining in Hawaii again, it would definitely be with these guys!!! They're the best! Thank you guys so so much!
Spectacular scenic zip line
Pulling up to the Kauai Backcountry check-in in what looked like a converted warehouse we weren't sure what to expect, but after getting our gear we loaded into the open air transport for a beautiful ride out to the tubing/ziplining area in the private undeveloped acres of a prior sugarcane plantation. The zipline course zig zags down a crevasse in the foothills of the Kauai mountains ending with lunch at the bottom by a river swimming hole (refreshingly cool from recent rain). The scenery is spectacular and our family had an amazing time!
A must when visiting Kauai!
This is a must tour when visiting Kauai. I went ziplining with my granddaughter and from the very beginning, it was a perfect experience. The checking in process was smooth, the tour guides were extremely knowledgeable, and the weather even was perfect. I would recommend doing the ziplining and tubing if possible, both were great!
