Featured Activity: Kohala Zipline Adventure
For the adventuresome, a zipline experience is the perfect way to see some of the island’s most beautiful scenery. A recommended activity vendor for ziplining is Hawai`i Forest & Trail, which takes guests to Kohala on the northern tip of the island where they will soar through canopies above the region’s birthright lands of King Kamehameha the Great. Choose from two zipline experiences – the Kohala Canopy Adventure set within a towering forest on a private nature reserve, or the Kohala Zip and Dip, which combines a zipline high above the forest floor, picnic with stunning views of the valleys and swim under a private waterfall fed by a cool mountain stream.
