Kohala Zipline

Kohala Zipline runs guided zipline tours through the forest canopy of North Kohala, based in Hawi on Hawaiʻi Island. As a locally owned company, it offers residents a 20% discount to experience one of the more thrilling ways to see the region's landscape.

The kamaʻāina deal

• Kamaʻāina receive 20% off zipline tours
• Valid Hawaiʻi ID required

What to expect

Tours move through the forest canopy on a series of ziplines, crossing sky bridges suspended high above the forest floor, with sweeping views out over the canopy and down toward the Kohala coastline. North Kohala is one of the greener, more lush corners of Hawaiʻi Island, a contrast to the drier lava landscapes many people associate with the leeward Kona Coast.

Good to know

Hawi and North Kohala sit at the northern tip of the Big Island, historically significant as the boyhood home region of Kamehameha I, and known today for a small-town, plantation-era main street alongside its lush upland forests. As a locally owned and operated business, Kohala Zipline frames its tours around introducing both residents and visitors to this less-traveled side of the island.

Who it's best for

Residents looking for an adrenaline-forward outing — the zipline and sky bridges suit adventurous groups, families with older kids, or anyone wanting a different vantage point on North Kohala's forest and coastline than a typical hike or drive provides.
