first time zippers

Reviewer: Mr. bob & ashley  Posted on 20 Nov 2009
Overall Rating:
we didn't quite know what to expect, but we had a blast. The guides were funny, friendly, and did a great job making people feel safe.

The lines and equipment were sturdy, and the views were magnificent.

We'd certainly return in the future.

For our friend Sonia's birthday trip to Oahu, Hawaii we wanted to try something we had never done before. We decided to go ziplining. On 4-17-09 we we took a day trip to Kauai to do just that. Deb and Greg were our tour guides and they were FABULOUS! We had a blast. We could have zipped all day long. We would recommend this tour to anyone.

zip n dip expedition

Reviewer: Ms. Anonymous  Posted on 20 Jun 2009
Overall Rating:
This was a pretty cool tour. The zip lines were pretty fun. Not really to scary. The tour guides were really helpful and very experienced. It is a little pricey but i guess that's just Hawaii for you. I would recommend at least you try once.

Just wanted to thank our guides, Stephanie and Deb for a fabulous day. I was amazed they remembered everyones names and pleased they gave individual encouragement to all of us. There were a couple of people in our group a bit aprenhensive about the whole thing. After our first zip, which was short and low, we all started having fun. By lunch time we were all "old pros." And the picnic area was beautiful, even in the light rain. Every staff member I met was happy, friendley, and helpful. Even the cat, Hiker. My friend and I highly recommend this adventure to everyone of any age...and we do!

Zip Express

Reviewer: Mr. VB  Posted on 26 Mar 2009
Overall Rating:
This was an excellent adventure with a beautiful setting. My wife had heard horror stories about people Ziplining in Costa Rica and was a little anxious about the activity. We both ended up enjoying it despite the rain on the first part of the course.

Zip and Dip

Reviewer: Ms. Susan  Posted on 27 Feb 2009
Overall Rating:
This was so much fun. I was scared to death to take the step off the first 3 zip lines, but I really felt secure once they clipped me in. It was beautiful and the little swimming hole at the end was great. I loved the Princeville area. I will do it again when we come back.

This tour was awesome and the group we went with was fun and friendly. Even though I don't particularly like heights, I felt safe. The guides, Greg and Trevor were fabulous and fun. Would go again in a heartbeat.

exciting

Reviewer: Ms. Anonymous  Posted on 20 Feb 2009
Overall Rating:
the zip line was very exciting. however, even though we were passed the 24 hour cancellation cut off, I was hoping they would of offered some sort of refund for my daughter as she woke up that morning ill. She came along hoping she would feel better but did not. she literally vomitted in front of the staff, so we know she could not do the zip lining. It is not like she just decided not to go, she was ill. Other than that, the rest of us enjoyed it very much.

Princeville Ranch Zipline Tour

Reviewer: Ms. Ladies of the Lei's  Posted on 7 Nov 2008
Overall Rating:
Five ladies ranging in ages of 40 to 66 decided to do something exciting on our first trip to Hawaii. We took a flight from Oahu to Kauai to do the Zip and Dip tour at the Princeville Ranch. We could not have been more pleased with our experience. The crew, Sherry and Preston were so funny and so much fun we could not have asked for a better pair of guides. This first zip was a little scary because none of us had done this before but after that they just got better and better and more exciting. Then we took the dip on the next to the last zip in a cool, very cool pool fed by a waterfall followed by a very nice sandwich lunch. Then we took the last zip to the end of the tour as we finished in disappointment that there were no more left. We could have happily zipped for another two to three hours. It was amazing and we can hardly wait until we can do it again. Just be prepared for a good walk but it is well worth it. I canft recommend this experience enough. I promise you will not be disappointed. The videos do not give the experience justice.

Not quite the experience I expected

Reviewer: Ms. Anonymous  Posted on 7 Sep 2008
Overall Rating:
Was fun, but not quite what we expected. Not in forest. Was in fields and walked in between zips and in the sun the entire time. Lacked the atmosphere. Staff was friendly and good at safety.

Absolutely Awesome!!!

Reviewer: Mr. Nettie-N-Chris  Posted on 21 Jun 2008
Overall Rating:
We booked this Zipline adventure as part of our honeymoon trip and all we can say is "WOW!!!!". Our guides were 2 very energetic young ladies who had us all laughing and getting to know each other right off the bat. They took the time to explain safety, and then took us straight to the fun! I have a fear of heights, but this was amazing!! The guides made us all feel safe, and the views during the Zips were phenomenal! The swimming hole was perfect to cool down before eating our lunch, which was basic, but filling and delicious!! We wish we could have done this tour every day that we were in Kauai!! Go see the gang at Princeville Ranch Adventures....you will not be disappointed!!!

More than expected!

We've seen this "zipline" thing on TV before, and wanted to do it so badly. It was soo much fun, exciting, and thrilling. The first one was scary, but once you get the hang of it, you just wanna come back for more. Highly recommended!!!

Hope you are not afraid of heights!

Reviewer: Ms. Michelle  Posted on 29 Jan 2008
Overall Rating:
I loved this adventure even though I am deathly afraid of heights. The ziplining part wasn't even the hard part, it was going over the bridge! The slightest move on the bridge and you were swinging back and forth. The water in the waterfall "pool" was super cold!!! But a lot of fun. The hike down to the lunch area was really tough on the way back. If you have the stomach for it, you should definitely try it out. I tried to overcome my fear of heights, no go there, but I at least went down every line!

Must-do!

This was a thrilling experience! Bring comfortable clothing as you are walking in grassy/ muddy areas and it's quite hot as there is little shade. Staff is knowledgeable and lots of fun!

Fun, for families and friends

Reviewer: Ms. Anonymous  Posted on 5 Sep 2007
Overall Rating:
I enjoyed the ziplining trip. I went as a couple, so we had to take turns going first to get pictures of each other. We are kind of adrenaline junkies so the first few lines were a bit boring for us. Of course the scenery was gorgeous!; and the swimming hole and picnic lunch were a nice touch. Overall it was great family fun, but lacked the excitement thrill seekers search for. If you are moderately afraid of heights, its great! You will get a rush and conquer fears. And don't forget to scream. It makes you go faster!
