Hawaii Zipline Tours - Big Island Waterfall & Rainforest Zip Adventure

So much fun, not scary at all!

Reviewed by: Christy

My husband and I are both slightly scared of heights, but this was just amazeballs! Wasn't scary at all (maybe the van ride out, a bit...). It's like sitting in a swing. Had a good time with our group, and got to taste some fresh bananas, ginger nectar, and sugar cane on the farmland we were traversing. Great fun, wish we could have done more than 7 lines, though,

Amazing experience in paradise!

Reviewed by: Cal

Truly a great experience. The guides were friendly, fun and very knowledgeable. The course itself is amazing with spectacular views. The final zipline is worth the admission price alone!! Bring your camera because your friends won't believe you! It's great.

Hilo 8-Line Zipline & Suspension Bridge Rainforest Adventure with Free Photos

Zipe lining

Reviewed by: newbie to scuba

The garden had many varieties of plants. The zip rides were kind of short. There was also a suspension bridge we walked across. They need to add more and longer zip lines. The few seconds that we zipped across were hardly enough. The guides provided some fruit snacks from the trees as we walked between zip lines and talked about different trees. The water fall and the surrounding ranches with cows sleeping were a nice sight. Though those ranches do not belong to botanical gardens. Staff was very friendly and professional. I did not take Segway tour and chose instead to drive by myself to Hilo. Make sure to drive to Liliuokalani Park in Hilo when you are there. It was a very impressive Japanese garden design.

Had a wonderful time. Boat was exceptional and specifically built for tour. Staff was extremely knowledgeable really great with the children as she used to be a school teacher. You couldn't have asked for a better guide for families with children!

Most fun I had on the Big Island!

Reviewed by: Tammy and Family

I am so happy that we found this tour since it was by far the best experience me and my family had while on vacation on the Big Island. The zipline experience itself was amazing, but to be able to see such a beautiful garden as well just took it over the top.

Totally recommend this tour and can't wait to go back to Hawaii and do this again!

It was fun, and the snorkeling was great, but it does take a lot of upper arm strength.

Fun Experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

It was a fun experience. We got to see lots of different fish. Taking pictures is hard though because fish and boat moving, and hard to see when developed because of glass.

Fun for kids

Reviewed by: Jane

This was a pleasant outing and particularly enjoyable for kids. If you think you might get seasick, I would recommend you take a ginger capsule before you go. Looking down into the water can make you a little queezy. Very informative and was helpful to have someone describing what you see.

Non snorkelers - don't miss out!

Reviewed by: JK

I don't know how to swim, and no way would I try snorkeling without even knowing how to float, so this was right up my alley. The staff was engaging and funny and knew a lot about the fish that we saw. We floated over several clusters of coral and although I didn't see anything as cool as a dolphin or manta ray, I did see a variety of exotic fish I had never known outside of an aquarium. Sadly, it's a quick 1 hour because you're so focused on looking at the windows that you lose track of time.

I don't recommend taking tons of pictures like someone here suggested, only because the fish move so fast that you'd probably get bad shots anyway and secondly, you really want to enjoy this uninterrupted without a contraption mounted to your face. Maybe take a snapshot of the first reef so you can tell people "I experienced this," then put the camera away for good.
