Zipline tours and adventures in Kauai

So what is a Zipline tour anyway? Zipline tours are a fairly recent activity to appear on Kauai, but Kauai Zipline tours are certainly one of the most popular activities on the island and are often booked weeks in advance.

Simply, Zipline is an aerial runway consisting of a pulley suspended on a cable that is mounted on an incline. Ziplines are designed to allow a seated and harnessed passenger to traverse valleys, gorges or drop-offs along an inclined cable by being attached to a freely moving pulley while using gravity as a motor.

Professional Zipline courses such as those found on Kauai are often operated at high speeds and can cover long distances at considerable heights with multiple Zipline crossings included in the course. Kauai has a number of Zipline courses and they are breathtaking with regard to both the scenery and the Zipline adventure itself.

Zipline Tours and Adventures in Kauai:

Just Live - Zipline Tree Top Eco-Adventures - is centrally located just 3 miles West of Lihue on Hwy 50 in a magnificent Norfolk Pine forest surrounded by thousands of acres of the beautiful and historic Grove Farm Sugar Plantation and the Halenanahu Reservoir.

Kauai Backcountry Zipline Adventures - Harness up and zip across valleys and gulleys. Soar over streams and view places more spectacular than you can ever imagine! An exclusive zip experience that occurs on private lands that have never before been open to the public. A 3 1/2 hour backcountry adventure will take you deep into and above Kauai's interior as you traverse down a mountain side into the lush valley below. The tour starts with a historic and scenic tour as you cruise to the start of the zip course. After a thorough briefing by your certified guides, you are ready to glide and soar over tropical forests, streams and jungles rich with magnificent scenery! Transcend down the mountainside sailing along a series of seven ziplines. Zip through the air to the valley floor below. End your zip with a delicious picnic lunch and a refreshing swim. Relax, bask in the sun or just soak in a natural swimming pool.

Outfitters Kauai - The Zipline is designed, built and operated according to the highest safety standards as set by the ACCT (the Association for Challenge Course Technology). The setting is magnificent: a 1/4 mile foot trail through the jungle leads to a steep valley at the confluence of two streams with a 150 foot waterfall tumbling over fern covered black basalt boulders on one side and a lazy 80 foot wide tropical stream on the other. The steep terrain allows for a ground level launching platform that wraps a huge Banyan tree with a 30 ft diameter trunk. Participants (Zippers) are outfitted with mountain climbing harnesses and helmets and walk through a labyrinth of aerial Banyan roots to arrive at the gated take-off area. A protocol is followed in which the Outfitters Kauai Guide runs through an equipment checklist and attaches a tether from the Zippers' harness to a two-wheeled trolley that rides on the zip cable. The gate opens, the Zipper takes a giant step and zooooom: you are sailing 50 ft above ground, over rivers and waterfalls and through the treetops at a speed of 35 mph. Working your way back to the starting point is half the fun! You'll cross streams and waterfalls on a foot trail that leads to a Swiss Family Robinson style system of aerial platforms and stairs that take you back to the launching pad to do it again. Minimum 6 passengers Maximum 13 passengers.

Kauai Zipline Tours - 10 years ago we had no idea what a “zip-line” was in Hawaii. Today it is an important activity on each of the major Hawaiian Islands. Seldom has an activity taken such a foothold in the landscape of Hawaiian activities as has the zip-line. Part adventure, part adrenaline, part hike and always scenic, the zip-line experience has captivated the imagination of the island visitors and made it into a tour that is quite often impossible to book within a week or two of the event. So here’s my advice. It’s highly likely that you or one of those in your party will want to participate in a Hawaii zip-line adventure. Just make sure you book early so you won’t be disappointed.
