About Kohala Zipline – Kohala Zip & Dip
Begin with a scenic drive from the Big Island's dry-side resort area into the lush landscapes of North Kohala, passing the plantation town of Hawi on the way to Kohala Zipline Station. Here, an eight-line canopy course winds through majestic trees above ancient taro terraces and flowing streams, with soaring platforms, arching suspension bridges and an exciting rappel from a tree at the end of the course.
After the zipline adventure, continue to the "end of the road" at Pololu Valley for a deli lunch at a lookout with beautiful views across the valley. The afternoon leads deeper into the mountains by 4-wheel drive vehicle, followed by a short hike along a private trail. Cross an aqueduct bridge, see tunnels carved from solid rock and learn about ancient Hawaiian history while visiting several tropical waterfalls. At one of the falls, you can cool off with an optional swim beneath the cascading water.
