Kohala Zip & Dip
Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime with Kohala Zip & Dip in Hawi – an epic 8-9 hour journey that combines Kohala Zipline's two most beloved experiences into one unforgettable Big Island expedition. This isn't just another tour; it's your chance to discover North Kohala's hidden treasures while soaring through ancient forests and cooling off beneath cascading waterfalls. Your adventure kicks off with a rugged off-road drive across private lands that few visitors ever see. From there, you'll embark on a peaceful walk through a pristine nature reserve, where the sound of rushing water hints at the hidden waterfalls waiting ahead. Then comes the main event – Kohala Zipline's complete aerial canopy course. You'll conquer 8 heart-pounding ziplines, navigate 6 suspended sky bridges, and finish with an adrenaline-pumping rappel high above the forest floor. But the thrills don't end when you touch down. The Kohala Zip & Dip experience includes a refreshing swim beneath a private waterfall, where cool mountain streams create the perfect natural pool. You'll refuel with a satisfying deli-style lunch at an exclusive picnic spot that overlooks the dramatic Kohala Coastline – views that'll have you reaching for your camera again and again. Everything you need comes included: safety gear, trekking poles, towels, day packs, and rain jackets, plus snacks, water, and beverages to keep you energized throughout the day.
