About Hawaii Zipline Tours
Hawaii Zipline Tours has been voted the number one zipline tour in Hawaii by Hawaii Magazine's Best of the Best Awards.
Adventure With Aloha
As you’ve probably already guessed, we love the Big Island and its awe-inspiring landscapes and are dedicated to building a sustainable future. That’s why we launched Hawaii Zipline & Hiking Tours in 2011: to share our passion for the island’s natural resources and rich cultural heritage through authentic, small-group adventures.
True, we’ve never met a person who hated visiting Hawaii, and chances are you probably haven’t either. It is paradise, after all. But so many visitors simply stick to the shorelines and turquoise waters and miss out on the island’s stunning interior. Let us take you there! Get away from the crowds to a 300-acre private paradise of expansive, fragrant agricultural fields, exclusive waterfalls, and lush jungle.


Come and let us share the REAL Hawaii with you.
Our Story
Hawaii Zipline Tours was founded in 2011 with a simple mission: to share the real Hawaii with visitors who are willing to venture beyond the shoreline. Operating on 300 acres of private land in Honomu on the Big Island's east coast, the company has grown from a passion for the island's natural resources and cultural heritage into one of the most recognized zipline operations in the country.
Today, Hawaii Zipline Tours offers small-group adventures through lush jungle, tropical agricultural fields, and exclusive waterfall access that most visitors to Hawaii will never see. The result is an adventure that feels less like a tourist activity and more like a genuine glimpse into the island's natural beauty and working landscape.

Safety and Experience
With over 17 years of operation and more than 3 million zipline crossings, Hawaii Zipline Tours is one of the most experienced zipline operators in the United States.
Safety is built into every aspect of the operation:
- Daily inspections: every line, platform, trail, and piece of equipment is inspected by trained staff before each tour
- Annual third-party review: an accredited ACCT inspector reviews all ziplines, equipment, and practices every year
- Equipment standards: all gear is tested to hold at least 5,000 lbs; each zipline cable has a minimum breaking strength of over 26,000 lbs
- Expert guides: every guide completes an 80-hour training program, double the ACCT industry standard, covering all aspects of equipment, safety, and operations, followed by weeks of additional on-the-job training before leading tours independently
Committed to a Sustainable Future
Without working to preserve our lands for future generations, we’ll lose much of Hawaii’s natural beauty and unique flora and fauna. That’s why we’ve partnered with the Hawai‘i Forest Institute and are working with the support of our community to plant non-invasive plant species.
So far, we’ve already planted hundreds of culturally significant, non-invasive canoe plants such as Kalo (taro), ‘Awapuhi (shampoo ginger), and ‘Ōlena (turmeric). And through hands-on community planting days and clean-up events, we’ve also helped educate youth groups on Hawai‘i Island, fostering the next generation of environmental stewards.
