An incredible day! The zip line we did was a new course just recently opened with beautiful views and waterfalls. Our guide Dane was so nice and helpful. He told us all about ancient Hawaiian history on the way there. He also pointed out landmarks and areas of interest while we traveled to the zip line office and then to the zip line. We zipped through the trees with help from Dane and Davyn. We then drove to private secluded lands for a picnic lunch with an incredible view. We hiked to the private waterfall and took a swim. It was cool and refreshing. We hiked back and all fell asleep on the way back in the van. It was a great way to spend the day. We would do it again and highly recommend this tour.

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!

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!!

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.

Everything was amazing. My daughter and I had a great day in the trees. I'd recommend Kody and Nick as your guides. Thanks.

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.

Kohala Zipline in Hawi, Hawaii: As a grandfather of 8 grandson's, I was leery ziplining at my age. All of a sudden, there I was riiding this high-speed thriller with Yelp's experienced "zipper" Nancy V. We were laughing and screaming as much as the teenagers taking part of the same adventure on this island paradise.. Consider giving it a try.. It really is fast, safe & fun !!

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!

We went on an almost 100% full (flower) moon. It was special to see the terminator line on the…read moreCelestron telescope - it had such great definition! The color of Mauna Kea with the moon shining on it was so magical all around us. There were some clouds that cleared pretty well by the end of our star gazing. We were the last ones up there so it got dark enough to see more than you'd expect with the moon. Jeff, our awesome tour guide, used a laser pointer to help us see the constellations we usually can't back at home. The images on the digital telescope like nebulas, the moon & star clusters were an amazing addition to have as keepsakes. My husband and I felt he made the tour a great balance of learning and fun. He had the group feeling like family before we even left from the pickup lot. Things to consider: I do recommend following the moons cycles booking this tour/your trip if this is especially important for you to see as many stars as possible. The sunset and views of the observatory's make it awesome anyways :) I struggled with altitude sickness around 12,000 ft. Jeff had made sure to let us know beforehand if we experienced any issues to speak up. I was hesitant as I know it would mean turning the whole tour around, but some tingling turned to dizziness and then a brief fainting. He immediately stopped the bus and helped ground me and make sure I was completely okay & coherent before letting me know our options for the tour. We made it up to the top with 2 more (included in tour) stops and I felt better with each one having more time to acclimate :) Thank you Jeff!! You handled this so professionally and I appreciate your check-ins for the rest of the trip. It's cold even with parka and gloves. It's so worth packing warm shoes and layers. The bus had ac and heat so that was great! Do it if you can! Awe-inspiring! Such an unreal environment that makes you wonder about so many things. Just take the precautions seriously, move slow and breathe deep.

Beautiful Scenery, but a Disappointing Experience…read more I really wanted to love this tour, and there were certainly some positives. Our guide was clearly very educated and knowledgeable, and his passion for nature was undeniable. You could genuinely feel his excitement about the flora and fauna (a word he was particularly fond of using!). It was refreshing to see someone so enthusiastic about the natural world. Unfortunately, the experience itself left much to be desired. My biggest disappointment was the waterfall. This was one of the highlights we were most looking forward to, yet we were given less than five minutes to actually enjoy it. We were hurried back to the van because the chocolate farm was apparently going to close its gates. I completely understand that the rain prevented us from hiking, and I certainly wouldn't fault anyone for making decisions based on safety. However, rushing us away from one of the main attractions was incredibly frustrating. What made this even more disappointing was that throughout the day, we were given approximately 15 minutes at farmers markets and an additional chocolate shop. It was difficult to understand why there was time for these stops but virtually no time to enjoy the waterfall. We spent approximately 10 hours on this tour, much of it sitting in the van. To make matters worse, the atmosphere was frequently uncomfortable. My husband and children were repeatedly chastised by our guide, and there were several interactions that felt unnecessarily rude. At one point, he asked a woman to roll down her window because she was occupying what he considered his spot, then proceeded to comment that people were "friggin idiots." Regardless of the circumstances, that kind of behavior felt unprofessional and made the experience unpleasant. I truly appreciate our guide's knowledge and love of nature, but enthusiasm and expertise don't necessarily translate into a great guest experience. For the amount of money we paid, I expected a much more enjoyable and thoughtfully paced day. We technically got to "see" a waterfall, but spending less than five minutes there hardly felt like experiencing it. Ultimately, we spent far too much time in a van, too little time enjoying the natural beauty we came to see, and too much of the day feeling uncomfortable. Sadly, I cannot say this tour was worth the cost.

This review is strictly for Cameron, our tour guide. He has set the bar for everyone else. I was…read moreamazed by his legitimate Aloha spirit (harder to come by than professed around the islands). He has the type of personality that I could see as a successful tv host on a discovery or nature channel type show. He offered a wealth of knowledge about the land, flora, fauna, history, and beliefs of Hawai'i. At every point he kept us safe, entertained, and informed. He has made Hawai'i my favorite of the islands. My only complaint about the tour has nothing to do with him, but with scheduling. I really didn't want to go to a hotel gift shop and would have preferred more time to swim or snorkel.

What an amazing experience. We booked a tour to see the lava fields and enjoy a snorkeling…read moreadventure and it was a full day of adventure. Keep in mind there is no snorkeling on this excursion and the area around the Hilton is not safe or appropriate for snorkeling. I am writing the review solely on the lava field excursion part. My wife was very dissapointed that there was no snorkeling as we purchased new snorkeling equipment. Roxy was our tour guide and was probably the most knowledgeable and professional tour guide we have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Roxy was knowledgeable in the history of volcanoes on Hilo and elsewhere, horticulture, bird species, animals, Hawaiian culture, tourist attractions, history of the Hawaiian Islands, tribes and Capt. Cook, beaches, teachings, burial practices and so much more. Roxy told stories of the early days in Hawaii and how it evolved. Also as a noted her driving and safety practices were impeccable. If you are planning to come to Hilo you must make it a point to reach out to Roxy. We spent approximately 8 hours on the tour and it was so enriching although the lack of snorkeling was a dissapointment . Highly recommended Mahalo
