What Makes a Great Zipline Tour on Kauaʻi?

Before choosing a tour, consider these key factors:

• Airtime and length for that true flying feeling

• Scenery, including mountains, valleys, and rivers

• Ride style, such as seated, tandem, or Superman-style

• Location, especially central access near Līhuʻe

• Guides, who bring safety, fun, and local insight

Outfitters Kauaʻi offers a range of zipline experiences designed to show off the island, all from historic Kīpū Ranch.

The Nui Kauaʻi Zipline: Most Airtime on the Island

If your goal is maximum flight time, The Nui Kauaʻi Zipline delivers. This signature tour is known for offering the most airtime on Kauaʻi, with six scenic lines that build toward an unforgettable finale.

The experience culminates on the FlyLine, the longest zipline in Hawaiʻi, stretching 4,000 feet across lush valleys at historic Kīpū Ranch. Along the way, you’ll soar above landscapes made famous in Hollywood films and enjoy sweeping views of the Hāʻupu Mountain Range.

This tour is ideal for thrill-seekers, families with kids (above age 7), and anyone who wants a true bucket-list ziplining experience on Kauaʻi.

AdrenaLine Zipline: Fast, Fun, and the Only Water Zip on Kauaʻi

For guests craving speed and variety, the AdrenaLine Zipline brings the excitement. This tour features dynamic lines designed for momentum and fun, plus the only water zipline on Kauaʻi, where riders skim across the surface for a refreshing finish.

It’s a great choice for adventure seekers, repeat visitors, and anyone looking for a playful twist on ziplining.

Zipline Safari: Do It All in One Day

If you want more than just ziplining, the Zipline Safari offers one of the most unique adventure days on Kauaʻi. This experience combines ziplining with kayaking on the Huleʻia River, short jungle hikes, waterfall swimming, and a scenic boat ride back on a Hawaiian twin-hull canoe.

Along the way, guides share Hawaiian legends and stories connected to the land, creating a deeper connection to the places you explore.

The FlyLine: Hawaiʻi’s Longest Zipline

Short on time but still want to experience something unforgettable? The FlyLine can also be enjoyed as a single-line zipline experience.

At 4,000 feet long, it is the longest zipline in Hawaiʻi, offering an extended Superman-style ride that lets you fully stretch out and take in the views. Flying above the valleys of Kīpū Ranch, this ride delivers pure airtime and epic scenery in one incredible moment.

The FlyLine is perfect for guests who want a taste of ziplining without committing to a full tour, or as an add-on for those looking to take their adventure even further.

Why Ziplining at Kīpū Ranch Is Special 

All Outfitters Kauaʻi zipline tours take place at Kīpū Ranch, a private historic ranch with limited access. Known for its role in films like Jurassic Park, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and The Descendants, the ranch is also rich in Hawaiian history and natural beauty.

Flying through these valleys offers a rare opportunity to experience Kauaʻi from above, far from crowds and commercial development.
