Amazing to see and experience a new side of the islands. A beautiful picturesque place. The guides helped make our time very customized since we are all about learning about the plants and edible nature from them. They shared and we felt right at home learning more. The bridge was the simplest but wildest part since the equilibrium got a... More

What a great way to enjoy a vacation. Our family took a cruise in the Hawaiian islands and we decided to do the zip isle excursion. What a blast!! It starts easy and you work your way up to the long ending, competing with another. We felt very secure and there was very little walking or climbing. We definitely recommend... More

I asked this friend if it was worth it. She responded, "Yes, I've done it three times, that is how... More

Mahalo for the kind words. We are so pleased you joined us. Our guides really do have the local feel of Aloha spirit. All our staff is encouraged to share the true feeling of our aina (land) with those visitors to the island that become our guests. We hope you will return often and next time try our Segway tours...

We started by taking a short walk through the botanical gardens which are located right at check in for the Zip Lining. This is in the middle of a rainforest so you can imaging the plants and trees. It was a short tour which was good as I am not a plant freak. We walked down a trail and met... More
