- This was a fantastic day; well spent, in Hawaii. Wilson...our all-day guide... was fun; empathetic, knowledgable; and efficient. Plus...a great photographer. He pointed out birds, exotic plants; and more. He was on a first name basis with everyone. Zipline was fantastic. The waterfall pool was great fun. Lunch was epic with the cliffs as backdrop. Also, Jake, our main zip guide was the best. I have zipped in Alaska; Costa Rica; Mexico; the Virgin Islands; and more. I've never had such a personable; fun; and safety minded guide. This is the tour to take.

Zip and Dip - This was an amazing experience. One of the best ziplines we've done. Wilson was our driver and very knowledgeable about the area, the volcanoes, and the plant and marine life. Nick and Brogan were great as well.

Excellent adventure zipping and dipping! - Excellent adventure on the Zip and Dip!! Erik and Brogan were the best guides and made our day so much fun!! Safety was obviously a top priority for them but Erik and Brogan were also engaging and fun and provided lots of interesting facts and history about Hawaii. The variety of sky bridges and zip lines were great - could have spent the whole day doing these in amongst the lush trees and plants of the forest. The hike to the waterfalls after lunch was a lot of fun. The view from our lunch spot was breathtaking as well!

The Rock Stars of Safety & Fun! - Kane and crew are true professionals, and made this adventure one to remember! Driving rain and wind shut the zipline down after 2 of the 8 lines, which was disappointing but the smart decision. In my previous career I inspected ziplines, so I am hyper-aware of safety precautions - and I was VERY impressed with this company's commitment to doing everything by the book. The guides seem to have eyes on the back of their head and when a customer did something even slightly questionable, we were quickly reminded how to comply with the safety standards. The dip into a waterfall pool would be delightful in warm weather. I highly recommend Hawaii Forest & Trail and their tours.

Wonderful and Fun Excursion - My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our day ziplining and swimming under the waterfall.
Our guides Decker and Curtis were so knowledgeable about the whole area, and gave us an excellent information about the history of the area, and the plant life we saw. They were also very safety conscious! We enjoyed the fact that safety was the #1 priority for everyone in the group! Decker and Curtis also communicated well and did so with a great sense of humor.
The spot we stopped for lunch was worth the price of admission alone! And our lunch was more than adequate with delicious sandwiches, cookie and drinks provided. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting the Bug Island! My husband and I are 65 and 58 and we managed the day well. Thank you to our guides and this beautiful island for a day we will never forget!

Incredible Experience - Such an incredible time. Weather was perfect, trees were swaying, and we were zipping. Felt extremely safe the whole time. Dane was an incredible guide, very knowledgeable and helpful.
They took pictures throughout and didn’t charge us an arm and a leg to buy them :).
My mother in law (age 73) even did this despite being scared of heights and thanked us afterwards for convincing her to go and said she would do it again.
The view at lunch was amazing and the waterfalls was incredible and refreshing :).
Note the roads are bumpy so plan accordingly if you get nauseous in cars.

Experience of a lifetime! - This was so much fun! Our kids push us (a little) to keep doing adventures and this was definitely an adventure, Decker & Eli were great guides and all about keeping us safe. I don't have a lot of upper body strength and Decker taught me a way to slow down coming in to the platform. The zips were exhilarating & the bridges scary but safe. We also repelled down to the ground. The view for our picnic was beautiful and swimming under the waterfalls was so fun. This company definitely has it all together!

Worth every penny! - So much fun!
Decker was our guide for the day. My parents are older and slower but Decker was great w them and very patient. our family of 7 had a great time!
We had the best view I’ve ever had in my life for our picnic lunch.
The zip lines were a blast and we had the waterfalls all to ourselves when we arrived. thank you, Decker for a great day!

Best zip tour on the big island - Wow. I do not even know where to begin. Dane, you are amazing!!!! Jake, you are amazing!!! My sister and I had the best time and made the best memories. Eight zips and the waterfalls were outstanding. Trying new fruit and pepper for me was something I will never forget either. This is the best tour. We definitely felt like o’hana.
