I booked this experience through TripAdvisor although if we were to do it again, I would do it directly. Although we didn't have any major issues, I coordinated with their team to notify them that we would be driving to the starting point on our own, but the guy still called us at the would-be meet up spot near our hotel thinking that we were still taking a shuttle. No biggie. If you do drive, they have a parking lot where you can park your car while you're out and about. It's important that you wear a short sleeve shirt and shorts long enough to be used with the harness. Any extra items that you have, you can bring along in the shuttle, but you just won't take them with you on the course. They told us to get there at eight and the shuttle and most of the other gas didn't arrive until 8:30am. Soon after they gave us the safety guidelines and overall rules for the zip line experience. We were put into our harnesses and given helmets and gloves. Then we all got into the shuttle and drove up to the ropes course starting point. We had Dane & Brogan as our guides. They were totally awesome and super helpful throughout the whole course. Their directions were very clear and ensured everyone was safe and having a really fun time. They were super knowledgeable of the area and even told us more about the local flora and fauna. They also took photos along the way which you could purchase at the end of the trip if you wanted. At the end of the zipline, we got back in the shuttle and drove to a scenic Lookout point of the cliffs in the ocean where we had lunch that was provided by the company: a sandwich (of your choice picked prior to the trip) chips, a cookie, and juice or sparkling water. After our break, we got back in the shuttle and drove to another spot. I wouldn't say it's necessarily a hike, but more of a nature walk down to the waterfall spot. It was beautiful! We had a great time swimming around and going under the waterfall. After we got back in the shuttle and drove to the headquarters. I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone traveling to the Big Island! read more

This was one of the coolest experiences I have ever done before. From the pick up to the drop off at the end, this was hands down one of the best tours I have ever been on. Our guide was knowledgeable, and the scenery and grounds we walked were absolutely stunning. This tour really celebrates the beauty and culture of the Big Island and our guide was the best to make sure we all understood what he was saying. Even though the zipline was fun, learning about the nature on the island and walking around was one of my favorite parts. The zipline was so cool though! It is a mix of starter and long runs. Having had been on zipline before, it was a good course with plenty of great runs where you got to see everything around you for a good period of time before slowing down and stopping. Between the zipline, waterfalls, hiking views, and all of the knowledge we were taught about the nature and beauty of the island, this tour was absolutely worth it. Next time we are on the big island, we will have to go again. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the island. read more

Best zipline on the Big Island! I did a mother-daughter trip and one of the things my 10 year old daughter wanted to do was to zip-line. There are 3 main zip-line places on the Big Island and I researched all of them, watched all the youtube videos, read all the reddit threads and was confident in my choice with Kohala. The entire experience felt super safe. We had two guides the entire time. They had the best stories, were funny, and the zip lines were really fun! This was also my daughter and my first time ziplining. Everything was super professional and we always felt like we were in good hands. They also gave us food recommendations nearby and checked them out! 1000% recommend this company for zip-lining! read more

Jake and Kodi were our guides, and they were phenomenal! It was obvious that our safety was their number one priority. Their instructions were clear and their constant guidance inspired complete confidence throughout the entire experience. Their second number one priority (yes, that can be a thing) was to make sure we all had a BLAST! Mission accomplished. Their hilarious jokes and stories kept us laughing. And they engaged everyone in the group in lively conversation, so that by the end we felt as if we had a bunch of new friends. The course itself was terrific. The zip lines got increasingly longer and faster (loud whoops and hollers highly encouraged), with suspension bridge crossings scattered throughout for some fun variety. Our family of five absolutely loved the experience. Mahalo, Kodi and Jake! read more

Amazing adventure. Kodi and Tami were amazing guides!! They were funny and supportive. They also give great recommendations for local shops and stops. Hearing about the culture from locals is always awesome. The views and lines were so much fun. Kodi also took some amazing pictures for us. Walking across this bridges was terrifying even though we knew we would be safe. These tour guides really made this experience and we are so glad we did this!! read more

DAY 2 of Vacation - Starting off strong with our first activity! Zip-lining! None of us have zip-lined before, so we were very excited. Parking: Find the yellow building, follow the arrows, and park in the grass area. Free parking. Service: Shout out to our guides Noi and Kody! They were amazing, knowledgable, and comical! They made us feel safe throughout the tour. Kody was also very knowledgable about the area and gave us a history lesson during the ride up to the location. Noi carefully showed and explained what to do and not do. Activity: After the introductions, Noi and Kody suited us up. Then we got into a van for a 20 min bumpy drive up to the location. I will never get over the scenery here. You can see Maui from the drop off location. There were so many greenery, trees, and plants. We went through long and short zips and walked many different bridges. I am not afraid of heights, but if you are, just don't look down. Photos: They do not offer videos. I purchased a photo package for $20.93. Kody took our photos from an older iPhone with a home button. The photos came out good. Kody took off guard photos, but he also took photos of us when requested. After zip-lining, they email the photos to the primary person within an hour. Pricing: Highly recommend Kohala Zipline! We enjoyed this activity the entire time. Our guides made us feel safe, and their personalities made the activity even more fun. read more

What an amazing time my family and I had zip lining with Kohala Zipline. Everything from the moment we got there was well organized and extremely safe. Our Tour guides Jake and Kodie, were so knowledgeable and so very friendly and reassuring for this a just a little scared 61 year old. It was a great time and we all would highly recommend. Can't wait to come back and try a different tour with Hawaii Forest and Trail. read more

The adventure was amazing, and our guides Misty (Noi'a) and Boo Boo took it over the top!! We have done several zipline adventures before. The combination of the guides, zip lines,, bridges, and scenery made it a very memorable experience. The repel at the end was an added bonus which we enjoyed immensely. The small group tour kept things moving smoothly. We were thoroughly entertained along the way by our guide's information and fun interactions. We felt very safe and completely relaxed. We would recommend this tour to everyone! read more

I wish I could give Davin & Booboo 7 out of 5 stars! They were so funny and knowledgeable, we learned so much about ziplining & Hawaii while on our tour. My husband is deathly afraid of heights and was very uneasy in the beginning. Being the seasoned professionals they are, they handled him supportively, got his mind off the long bridges by talking him through them and went above and beyond to ensure we all had an amazing time. I cannot wait to come back again once they have their new Kipling course built! Mahalo to everyone at Kohala! read more

Seriously, our guides Brogan and Kody made this experience amazing. They were by far the best tour guides we have had on any experience on the island. Despite the pouring rain, their pleasant personalities, local knowledge, and zip line expertise made the ziplining tour phenomenal. The course which included 8 zip lines, about 5 bridges, and two short hikes was extremely well designed. The raincoats issued with our safety gear kept us dry in the rain. Throughout the tour, Kody took photos of our group. For just $20, we were able to get all the photos. If you are looking for an awesome eco adventure, this ziplining experience is a must do! read more

Totally professional, totally safe, totally fun. You'll be in great hands and learn a lot about the Kohala area history and get inside tips on the best spots to visit. We liked being up in the canopy and the bridges between each zipline launch platform. Best zipline experience we've had (full disclosure: only been twice and the other time was really good too). Each zipline station is progressively more fun and more fast and you'll feel confident every time.The drive to Kohala is great and you get to see amazing views of the ocean and Maui on the drive and during ziplining. Best part of it all though was Brogan and Kodi who were excellent hosts and historians and answered a ton of our questions and had plenty of humor to keep the whole group engaged and having fun. read more

We had such a fun time! It was a small group, which made the experience feel personal and relaxed. The guides were funny, welcoming, and made everyone feel safe. We even got to snack on fresh fruit between runs. Overall, an absolute blast -- highly recommend! read more

If you're thinking about zip lining with Kohala Tours, stop what you're doing and BOOK IT RIGHT NOW--but only if Decker and BoBo are your guides. These two aren't just tour guides, they're airborne superheroes, comedians, and part-time therapists. From the moment we met them, we knew we were in good hands. Decker had the calm confidence of a man who has defied gravity one too many times, and BoBo? BoBo brought the kind of chaotic joy that says, "Don't worry, I've done this before... probably." Together, they were the perfect yin and yang of zip line excellence. As we flew through the air, hundreds of feet above the lush Hawaiian jungle, I never doubted for a second that Decker would let me fall. Not because I was clipped in correctly (which I was), but because I felt it in my soul that this man would leap off the platform, catch me midair, and cradle me like a majestic flying squirrel if anything went wrong. And BoBo--what can I say? The man kept us laughing so hard I nearly forgot I was terrified of heights. Every step of the way, he was cracking jokes, giving pep talks, and casually saving lives. If I could give 100 stars I would, I will never forget the day we spent in the trees with these two amazing men. Love, the Calls read more

We had a WONDERFUL experience with our group guides Cody and Davyn. They were so knowledgeable about the course, their duties and local history. We learned so much, on top of feeling very safe and having a really great time. Who knew we'd be getting so much fun history and factoids!? We would highly recommend you book this adventure. Communication was excellent, and navigating was very easy. They also have a lovely gift shop with great items, so bring your credit card! Thank you so much, Kohala Zipline! read more

Everything was awesome. The staff was awesome! Check in staff gave me the resident special along with my family. ( I'm a resident) Saved a lot of money! Very impressive since she brought it up! All in all a great day! read more

My husband, sis and I chose this place to experience our first time zip lining and they did not disappoint! Jake and Brenda were our guides. They checked our gear to make sure everyone was strapped in correctly and went over what to expect and the safety rules. They made the whole experience so much fun. And for those of us who were nervous and weak in the knees, they distracted us with good conversation, and photo taking. We thought we were just doing one big zip line but it turned out to be 8 really cool ones, no turning back! They had us standing on platforms situated around tree trunks where we would take off from. Jake and Brenda were diligent in making sure everyone's lines were hooked on and that the rules were being followed. The views of the trees and streams while on the zipline were beautiful. The last one was the best view though. You could see the ocean. There are also bridges we have to cross in between zip lines. I was more nervous crossing a couple of those. But not to worry, the lines are always hooked on to a main cable so we don't fall. The road going there is very very bumpy so for those who get motion sickness be prepared. Boo boo did a great job maneuvering through. We saw a couple wild pigs running around on the drive up and Jake gave us some history about the island. Really cool dude. I was also grateful for the water they provided on our breaks. Thanks guys! We're coming back when we visit again! read more

I am 76 years old, and my friend convinced me to try zip lining. I am certainly glad she did. It was a fantastic experience. Our guides were excellent. They were funny and personable, but they were absolutely serious about instructions and our safety. My thanks to them both. It was a highlight of our time on the big island. read more

Davin and Kody, with help from Jake for the last stop and repelling were the BEST!! We had the most fantastic time! They were so patient with two of us (me) that were a bit Zipline challenged, the second person because she had a cast on her right arm. The other six in our group were sporty overachievers. But, Davin and Kody really took their time with us and made it the most wonderful experience possible. We laughed so much, and felt incredibly safe throughout! The whole group would DEFINITELY do it again and we all highly recommend Kohala Zipline!! read more

what an amazing time our group had! The zipline leaders (Tami, Gideon, Boo-boo & Davan we so incredible.

Visiting Hawaii for the wife and I was a bucket list item. Add in a zip line excursion with a couple of amazing guides like Jake-E and Tami and you pretty much have the one of the best days on the island. Tami took great action shots of both my lovely wife and I as well as provided some interesting island knowledge along the way. Jake-E laid down the "Do's & Don'ts" with some added jokes to keep our minds off of the fact we're 100 feet in the air. (or more!!!) All in all, we had a really great time with the two of them and the EIGHT ZIP LINES! Yes, I said EIGHT! About 2hrs all in all and unfortunately it goes by quick so make sure to soak it all in. A BIG "Mahalo" to Jake-E and Tami. read more

My 10 year old daughter and her 9 year old best friend and I went on a 3 hour zipline tour in Kohala. It was the first time ziplining for all of us and I say first as we all hope to do it again. Decker and Brenda were fantastic. They were patient and very understanding. Their focus on safety was impressive and Decker was able to adjust to each girl's abilities and challenges and without mentioning a word to them. Actually he did this for everyone on the tour, not just the kids in my party. (he may have had to adjust to my lack of understanding when he signaled me once) :D ...all without any criticism to any of us. They were very mindful of those who were afraid of heights and put everyone at ease and kept the group smiling and looking forward to each new zip. This was the best thing we did the entire time we were on the big Island. Highly recommend. read more

The absolute best! First time zip lining! And the attention, detail to safety and comfort as beyond my expectations. Our guides (sorry I totally forgot names but your in the pictures).

I went to Kohala today and as someone who is absolutely terrified of heights, I had a great time. There's some scary parts for sure, but I never felt more reassured as safe! Our guides Noi and Brogen were so fun and so comforting to have. The zip line takes you through some beautiful foliage and you learn some wonderful facts about the surrounding wildlife! Also make sure you ask the guides on some good local eats, we had some great recommendations for some really tasty food! read more
