About Kohala Zipline - Kohala Canopy Adventure
Move from tree to tree high above North Kohala on a canopy course that mixes ziplines, suspension bridges and a final rappel. The route is built through forested ranch land, with platforms tucked among large trees and views over kukui, eucalyptus, streams and old taro terraces.
The adventure takes place in Halawa at the northern tip of the Big Island and includes a zip and bridge over a waterfall. As you move through the course, the ziplines gradually get longer, and you’ll also see the historic Kohala Ditch, an irrigation canal completed in 1906.
Kohala Zipline uses dual WhisperLines with redundant safety systems and multiple attachment points throughout the course. Newer features include a narrow 60-foot suspension bridge without handrails and a 300-foot zipline that launches through an opening in the trees and carries you nearly 100 feet above the ground.
