    My husband and I did the Zip and Dip tour. Everyone there was so kind from checking in to the zip line and dip tour with our zip line guides Skip and Gary and Matoa or Makoa (unsure of how to spell his name) they were all fun to be around and made me feel safe and I'm honestly really scared of heights but they made sure we were having a good time amazing guides, we had Harrison for the dip tour at the waterfall he was amazing as well and showed us music and talked to us about some history of the waterfall and interesting facts, he takes great photos! Harrison even gave us a good recommendation to find malasadas (they were so good!). Everything was so fun and all the guides were so helpful and nice! I definitely recommend going here! Make sure to bring cash to tip your guides they definitely deserve it! It is pricey but worth the memorable experience!!

    Second to last line.

    HONESTLY save your money!! The experience was nice and it all felt very safe, although if you aren't scared of heights or anything it's not worth the money.. at all. the pictures online and brochures left at our airbnb made it look wayyy cooler and the "waterfalls" are like teeny tiny! For about $200 you could do any other excursion. i'm sad i chose this instead of doing something else on one of my last days on the big island.

    This has bed. Our third time back in 3 years and our guides Kiana and Saire were great! Every single time has been different experience with the same outcome, pure excitement! Highly recommend!

    We had a great time. This was the best zip lining we've ever done & we have gone all over the world. The scenery is great. The lines are so fun. Going over the waterfalls was pure magic. The staff is professional yet friendly. You feel safe & secure. The suspension bridge was an added bonus. My only request would be to have smaller groups. We were in a group of almost 20. Having guys stationed at every line would make it a lot smoother rather than going in The group of 20 at a time. Otherwise it was beyond what we expected. The property has so much to offer & we were pleasantly surprised to get to explore so much. Thanks for a memorable experience.

    Hands down the best experience zip lining I have ever had. Professional, safe, kind and friendly. Now let's talk about the views. Waterfalls, ocean, heaven tree forest, and rolling green hills. I don't know how anyone could come to Hawaii and not have this experience. Thank you to this facility for providing everything you could ask for. Good food, clean facilities and perfectly maintained property and so much more. I didn't want to add too many photos and give away the breathtaking surprise.

    Ready to depart for our adventure!

    An exhilarating experience that tops off everything else we've done. Together with the adrenaline rush of driving over the rugged terrain and not knowing exactly how we're going to land all tires made me feel like a stuntman as our guide closely stayed by. You can dictate your level of excitement. We wanted high active experience and we received that and more. So awesome even the mud that pasted on my teeth from uncontrolled smiling tasted great! All our guides were top awesome too showing us the land and what it has to offer. You gotta try this! At least...twice. Go Umauma!!!

    Are there lockers to store our personal belongings? Or is a Fanny pack recommended?

    You just leave your stuff in your car, lock it and you leave your key in a basket with them. You could bring a fanny pack. There is a snack and water break halfway with bathrooms. They give you a poncho in case of rain. It was a lot of fun!

    Big Island Zipline Tour was a fantastic experience! Easy booking, pre-waiver review and signing,…read moreand day of guidance from Ryley, Josh, Rose, and the front desk staff. Upon arrival, there is safe parking monitored by cameras. Check-in consisted of confirming your reservation, pre-signed waiver, and weighing in. Inside you have the option to purchase any last minute bug spray (which I did due to the tendency of being eaten by bugs & the natural spray they sold worked great!), sunblock, t-shirts, and snacks. There are also some maps, local recommendations, and a sign in book to look at while waiting for your tour. They have complementary water, fanny packs to use while zip lining, and clean restrooms. After checking in, you will wait until the guides support you with putting on your helmet and other gear. They will check to make sure your gear is secured and comfortable. There will be a brief safety briefing and then you take a quick van ride as a group to where the 7-line course beings. Rose is the van driver- she did a great job maneuvering the van, keeping us safe, and supporting us on the course! Along the way, the guides, Josh and Ryley, shared about the various plans and spaces we were viewing, which was a nice to learn about! Appreciated Ryley's humor!! The course was awesome! Speaking from someone who did ziplining over 15 years ago in Puerto Rico and now in my mid-30 a little nervous about doing it since I flaked jumping out of a plane to skydive in Oahu, I was nervous how I would do. Well, I did it, and it felt great! All seven of the lines were great- safe, sturdy, and enjoyable. The communication between the guides, including Rose, at times, was spot on to ensure safety. The lines were checked, were informed of what to do before we went and how to land/arrive on the platform. It was all very well planned and set up. Each platform also had a little history of a Hawaiian word which the guide shared some of the history with us about! It was a great tour- friendly and knowledgeable team of guides and driver, good group of tourist, and beautiful course. My favorite lines were 6 and 7 (haha), and yes, I would do it again, and utilize this company for other excursion because of their organization, adherence to safety, and aloha spirit.

    Wow! What an amazing excursion we did here on Friday! We went on 7 different zip lines of all kinds…read moreof lengths! 2 went over beautiful waterfalls and deep gorges! Our guides were Bradley and Trey! They made sure we were comfortable and explained how everything was going to work with the lines and even had snacks for all of us! We had a very nice gal that drove us to the lines and back! This is definitely the zip line tour to take while on the big island! You will not be disappointed at all!

Keep in mind there is no snorkeling on this excursion and the area around the Hilton is not safe or appropriate for snorkeling. I am writing the review solely on the lava field excursion part. My wife was very dissapointed that there was no snorkeling as we purchased new snorkeling equipment. Roxy was our tour guide and was probably the most knowledgeable and professional tour guide we have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Roxy was knowledgeable in the history of volcanoes on Hilo and elsewhere, horticulture, bird species, animals, Hawaiian culture, tourist attractions, history of the Hawaiian Islands, tribes and Capt. Cook, beaches, teachings, burial practices and so much more. Roxy told stories of the early days in Hawaii and how it evolved. Also as a noted her driving and safety practices were impeccable. If you are planning to come to Hilo you must make it a point to reach out to Roxy. We spent approximately 8 hours on the tour and it was so enriching although the lack of snorkeling was a dissapointment . Highly recommended Mahalo

This tour really celebrates the beauty and culture of the Big Island and our guide was the best to make sure we all understood what he was saying. Even though the zipline was fun, learning about the nature on the island and walking around was one of my favorite parts. The zipline was so cool though! It is a mix of starter and long runs. Having had been on zipline before, it was a good course with plenty of great runs where you got to see everything around you for a good period of time before slowing down and stopping. Between the zipline, waterfalls, hiking views, and all of the knowledge we were taught about the nature and beauty of the island, this tour was absolutely worth it. Next time we are on the big island, we will have to go again. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the island.
