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.

Best zip line - This was a great zip line experience. Best one that I have done so far. Dane was our primary guide and we recommend you spending the day with him.

Incredible!!!! - I don’t even know where to start. This experience was incredible!!! It was our first time ever zip lining and to say we were nervous would be an understatement!! However our guide Dane and his assistant Sean were fabulous. They were encouraging, funny, kind, and patient. By the end of the zips we were sad to be done. Here’s the deal though this wasn’t just zip lining this was an all day adventure. You’re 100 - 200 feet above the ground pretty much the entire zips, there’s bridges, and repelling. That’s not all. Dane is local, and so incredibly knowledgeable about the island, its history, culture, agriculture, wildlife. He shared every bit of his knowledge and was so engaging. Once the zip line part of the adventure was over we were taken to the most breathtaking area and served a great deli lunch, got some time to rest, and take in the views. Last but certainly not least a small hike down to 3 stunning waterfalls, one of which we were invited to swim in. Bucket list for me! Before the hike down Dane led us in a traditional Hawaiian what I’d call a prayer asking permission to enter the falls. It was beautiful and gave me chills. I cannot recommend this more. If you’re even the slightest bit nervous or tremendously nervous like I was still do it. Never once did I feel unsafe. They take every single safety precautions and are very serious about it. Have fun and Aloha!

Adventure and exploration in Kohala - Our family had an awesome time on the zip and dip. We had such an easy booking and pickup experience - the whole day was planned and ran smoothly. Our guide, Decker, was great fun and knowledgeable about the area and its history. He was also great at showing us details along the trails and journey, like plants and animals. The zips are beautiful - what an experience to be floating in a lush canopy in Hawaii. The bridges are a little nerve-racking, but totally worth it! Kodi was also an amazing host with positive energy and a welcoming spirit. We loved the hospitality - everything was at our fingertips. Lunch and snacks were great. The waterfall was a perfect ending to the tour.

So much fun! - Our guides Nick and Decker were awesome. Decker picked us up from near our hotel and stayed with us throughout the whole tour. The zip lining was fun but getting to hear the history, some plant facts and mythology of the Big Island was such a great bonus. I loved that we got to swim under the waterfall after zipping through the trees! 10/10 recommend.

Superb day in nature with great guides - Dane, our driver/guide picked the newlyweds and me up timely in Kailua-Kona, starting his informative and entertaining patter as we headed north. One stop to collect a family of six, and we continued the comfortable ride to Kohala. At the upland office we were expertly fitted out with helmets and harnesses, gloves and had a rest stop break.
Off into the hills, the rough dirt road had ruts and mud, but this all enhanced the experience. As we alighted to start our arboreal travels, we met Jacob who would "catch" us as we zipped longer and longer runs between the trees. Several rope bridges (which triggered my fear of heights) proved that they can be mastered, and also gave the teenagers a chance to test their parents.
With a short rappelling at the terminus, we left our safety gear and boarded the vehicle. Back to the road, we wove through small towns until a turn makai (towards the ocean) for a picnic lunch with a splendid view of the northern cliffs lining the coast.
A bit further along the coast, we turned into the private preserve of Hawaiian royalty to bounce our way to the path taking us to the overlook and, subsequently, the base of the upper (of two) waterfalls. The younger folks friskily played in and walked under the falls.
Boarding the vehicle again, Dane returned to the upland office where we viewed the pictures Zane and Jacob had captured, before we headed back to our respective rendezvous points.
A full exciting adventure with a most informative guide, I'd recommend this outfit without hesitation. Great people, highly professional, friendly and knowledgeable.

Interesting experience! - We did the zip and dip. That day we did the waterfalls first. Nice waterfalls. Easy swimming and there were other groups coming in as we were heading out. This was the second time I ever zipped.
Competent staff. Interesting zips. The first bridge is seriously scary. If you don’t get the hang of it the first couple of zips they basically give up on you and you don’t learn how to improve much. Nice area to zip in. Big trees with stream. Lunch location was awesome…really recommend if you have experience zipping. If you are a beginner, I might try somewhere else…. But it’s a good time!
