      Best Zip Line Adventure on the Big Island
      We spent the day today with guides Gavin and Shane and 10 other zip liners at Botanical World Adventures! This was not our first time zip lining, but it was the absolute most fun we have ever had on zip lines. Gavin and Shane made the adventure amazing from the moment they met up with us to help get our harnesses properly fitted. They worked very well together and both of them had a great sense of humor. They both shared great island stories and knew exactly what to do to ensure everyone of all ages and experience levels felt safe and had a great time. The grounds at Botanical World Adventures are beautiful and such a great place to enjoy flying through the trees and over waterfalls! Book a trip and have the time of your life! I promise...you will NOT be disappointed.

      Amazing day
      Super fun day in spite of the weather, our guides Jordan and Cadence were wonderful, knowledgeable about the bikes, full of lots of local information, and made the entire experience awesome. Highly recommend but very strenuous with lots of hills. Be prepared.

      Outstanding experience
      I was a little nervous as this was my first time. Chase was very patient and explained every step. It was a blast I am so glad that I did it and would do it again in a heartbeat. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed every line. Chase, Jordan and Gavin were outstanding. They took a lot of pictures for us and made the adventure very enjoyable. We highly recommend it!

      Must do near Hilo!
      HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Our tour guides Emma & Tryson were amazing! Not only did they provide an awesome zipping experience, we learned so much about the many beautiful plants in the area. This is the place to go!

      Great adventure through beautiful country! The zip line crew were fantastic. They were very friendly and helpful. We always felt safe with the lines and adventure. The last zip line was amazing as the gorge opened up to show the beauty of the waterfall and terrain below. This would be a repeat adventure if the opportunity was available.

      Zipline fun
      The zip line canopy tour was great fun — eight zip lines, including a final line that went half a mile over a gorgeous waterfall and allowed two people to zip at the same time on parallel lines. Good for all ages.

      Zip lining excursion from carnival cruise with botanical world adventures. Hilo Hawaii
      The botanical world adventure crew of Trisen, Lish and driver John were amazing. They were helpful, friendly, patient and made the zip lining experience a great one. Very thorough and made safety priority. We will ask for them again. I’m sure most are excellent, but they were excellent plus. We trusted them completely. Awesome human beings…

      Great zip lining fun for family
      We went zip lining at Botanical World Adventures and had a great time! It was myself, my husband and our 8 year old daughter. Our guides Ipo and Tryson were super fun and knowledgeable on not just zip lining but all of the plants and area history. After researching pricing of other zip line companies, I thought the price was very reasonable as well.

      Best Ziplines in Hawaii
      The zip lines were great and staff was excellent. I took my 3 boys (4,6,10 yrs) and we all enjoyed the ride especially the final line which is 1/2 mile long over a waterfall!

      Fun Zip Line Experience
      We signed up for the zip line adventure, and it did not disappoint! The guides are friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable about the zip lines and the local plants and animals. This was a perfect adventure for us! Thank you!

      Zip line fun
      What a great experience. Tyson and Jayson our guides were awesome. They made sure my granddaughter and I as well as all other members of the group were safe and had a great time. In addition they were full of information about the plants and animals that are native to the area. They made a game out of some of our lines which made it exciting. Emma and Cole our drivers were always on time to pick us up and help out with the lines that were double. As part of the cost they took pictures of each participant which we received the same day. Would highly recommend this as something to do for all ages. I am 68 and my granddaughter 11.

      Zip Away!
      The shuttle from ship to the Botanical spot was great with Charity and Kevin! Nice clean air conditioned party bus like thing. We got to keep our stuff nice and secure in there. Zipline part; No need for a backpack cause you won't zip with it on. A fanny pack or crossbag made for some adventure would be best suited to keep your important stuff on you. If you're gonna go with sandals...make sure you wear the kind with the toes covered. But really...any sneakers would go also. It's a part trail walk in some areas...but nothing serious. I had my GoPro 11 with battery pack and it was fine with all this. The Zipline on our rides had no brakes...and there were 2 guides with us the whole time. Justin and Orion were super knowledgeable, experienced, and hilarious. I had Justin going on my joke that I had fallen from a 30,000 ft. zipline and they had to cut 6 inches off my legs to save me...this was my first time ziplining. And I will definitely go again with these folks. They start you off on an easy line for the first few so that you become comfortable. Then you walk a suspension bridge which can feel intimidating...but you'll be alright. They offered starfruit, which was delicious, bug spray to help protect yourself from angry skeeters and what not, and water at the base. Bathrooms...there are none. They got porta-potties at base. Guys are okay cause it's fairly easier for us than women when out there in the sticks. I love how there is a history, information, and a connection from the guides to the land. This was perfect for my wife on her birthday and she doesn't like heights. But that last zip is one you don't wanna miss. If you hear cannonball between the guides on the walkies...tuck your legs like you're gonna do a cannonball because the winds can work against you. But have no fear...these guys are quick and good at what they do.

      If you're coming here just for the botanical garden I'd pass and go to Hawaii Tropical Bioreserve and Garden instead
      I really don't understand how this place has such a high rating. It's got to be from people who do the zipline tour or something. If you just come here for the botanical garden you are probably going to be really disappointed. There is very little in the way of interesting plants, it's almost all trees. I mean sure, the rainbow eucalyptus trees are neat, and the succulents garden is interesting (though very small), but there are very few flowers here and a lot of ground to cover. You're mostly just looking at different kinds of trees while walking through. And there's not even really a laid out path to follow or any sort of signing giving you directions once you get off that first path by the maze. It really just felt like you are walking directionless through a field a lot of the time. And I ended up hating the hedge maze they have because there is absolutely no shade and nowhere to sit down in the maze if you get tired. In fact, there's nowhere to sit down in pretty much the whole place, which is another complaint I had. Right outside of the maze there are some picnic tables and I think over on the other side of the garden there are a couple chairs, but that's it. And the bugs are relentless. I sprayed bug spray before entering and whatever these bugs were they were not phased at all. They weren't mosquitos and I don't think they were biting me but they were just constantly buzzing around my head and in my ears and it was so annoying. I did like the waterfall, and after my experience with the main part of the botanical garden I didn't even bother with the rainforest trail. I had had enough for one day. Hawaii Tropical Bioreserve and Garden is a far, far nicer botanical garden near Hilo.

    The Botanical Garden Zipline is perfect for first timers and families like us. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They explained the gears and got everyone donned in no time. There were 9 lines and they started us from easy peasy and warmed us up to a 0.5mile long ride overlooking a gorgeous waterfall. Safety always comes first and you can tell the staff was extremely well trained. There were 12 ppl in the group, all families with young to teenager kids. We had a blast and would recommend the Botanical Garden Zipline to families or ppl wanting a fun intro to ziplining. The Botanical Garden itself is amazing. We enjoyed the short, easy strolls thru the garden and got to learn about some amazing plants.

    Our family had a fantastic time! We took our kids, ages 10 and 13. The 10 year old was just shy of 70 lbs so she rode the first 6 ziplines solo and then tandem with a guide for the last 2 long lines. The views were beautiful and the staff was super friendly. Highly recommend for a family friendly experience.

    Beautiful views and well organized zipline tour. The earlier zips were the shorter and smoother ones, which was great for a first timer like me. The later ones were longer/faster and even included a couple where you could race with someone else. Our guides (Sultan and Mai, I believe) were so nice, fun, and informative about the plants/trees along the way, including a plant that closes up when lightly touched!

    This experience was just purely good vibes. I visited Hawaii for my birthday by myself & Paiton (I hope it’s spelled correctly) & Andrew truly made my birthday an amazing one. You can tell that they truly love their jobs and they really were the glue to the entire group. I believe it was 14 of us and we did 8 lines that got progressively faster, longer, and higher. By the second line, we were all familiar with one another.

    I had a big fear of heights because I’ve lived in the city for most of my life so outdoor activities and nature was really foreign to me. I panicked SO bad on the suspension bridge and Andrew walked onto it to talk me into finishing it. Paiton, Andrew, & another guide (whose name I forgot, I’m so sorry) also made capturing pictures for us a priority which we all really appreciated.

    At the last line, Paiton and Andrew put me back on the line and let me hang in the middle to watch the waterfall as a birthday surprise. Lol I was soooo scared but the view and the experience…UGH. I’d recommend this to any and every one. I’m so grateful to have met so many wonderful people today.

    We had a large group with 5 teenagers and adults and the guides handled it all like pros. Everyone had a really great time and they even taught us several things about the native plants along the way. We felt safe even with the adrenaline pumping. Had a blast and would recommend these guys to anyone. They took pictures for us and email them with no charge. My husband got a discount for being a retired military service member. Highlight of our trip!

    My wife and I booked this experience on our honeymoon in Hawaii. Our favorite part was the half-mile zipline over the gorgeous waterfall, and being pushed back out halfway as a special treat for being on our honeymoon. The two host (Kanani & Tryson) were very friendly, funny, knowledgeable of their profession, and their surroundings and made us feel like the center of the experience with laughs and wild snacks. This was our first time ziplining and I highly recommend this experience!

    Watching my 11 year old granddaughter who was scared get over it and have the best time was my favorite thing. And also to see my 17 year grandson think he was going to be bored (because of an episode of South Park) really get into it as well. Our guides were really helpful and entertaining. And the rides were spectacular.

    This was a really fun adventure with our two teenage daughters. This was our first zip line experience and our trip leaders, Ben, Annabelle, and Chris were fantastic and took good care of us. I’d highly recommend this zip line tour if you’re looking for a fun half day experience in this part of the big island.

    Wow!! What a fun time for the whole family! My husband and I zipped with our three sons, ages 10, 7, and 3. After calling several companies, this was the only one who accepting our three year old, and we were so grateful for the chance to do this activity all together! Kenani and Peighton were delightful tour guides! They were phenomenal with our kids, making them feel completely safe and comfortable. We loved their little mini-tour of the plants on the walk between zip lines. And a big thank you for introducing us to ling hui mui powder!! :) The views were incredible, and it was such a fun ride. I would HIGHLY recommend Botanical World Adventures for anyone, but especially families with younger kids. We are truly so thankful for the chance to do this as a whole family! Everyone, even the three year old, had an absolute blast! The highlight of our trip to the Big Island! Thank you! One tip if you are coming from the Kona area, take the Hawaii Belt Road/19 to get here. It is the most beautiful drive, and definitely plan to stop at Tex's Drive In in Honokaa for the absolute best malasadas of your life (try the guava!). Mahalo!

    What a fun day zip-lining with Kanani and Orion! We were in port on an NCL cruise and knew this looked like a great adventure to take. Our guides were professional, yet fun-loving! We zipped over 8 ravines with waterfalls and ran across a narrow suspension bridge. The course was park-like and gorgeous. Kanani and Orion made us all feel like family. They were very patient and we always felt totally safe. They each shared interesting snippets of the beautiful Hawaiian culture, taught us about local flora and fruits, and even picked and shared some wild fruits along the way.
    Our group was quite diverse in age ranging from 20’s to 80’s. Everyone made it all the way through with much laughter and thrills.
    The course starts easy then builds confidence as you make longer and higher zips. BWA provided great fanny packs to wear across the shoulder for our belongings and thoughtfully supplied bug spray and cool towels.
    I would highly recommend taking this excursion!
