With more than 10 years of experience as a professional writer, Megan holds a degree in Mass Media from her home state of Minnesota. After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
Whether you call Hawaii home or are visiting the islands on vacation, there is one activity that absolutely must be on your Hawaiian Islands bucket list: a zip lining tour. While you will undoubtedly find countless zip lining tours across the main four Hawaiian islands, there’s one eco-adventure on Hawaii Island so special it deserves the shout out.
You see, Skyline Eco-Adventures Akaka Falls Zipline is the only zipline tour across Hawaii where you are able to soar through the sky above a 250-foot waterfall, not to mention some other pretty stunning views.
The epic zipline tour lasts approximately 2.5 hours, and includes seven tandem ziplines - each more incredible than the last - above lush forests, jaw-dropping scenery, and even a magical waterfall.
Located below the famous Akaka Falls State Park on the Honomu Coast, you will soar over two incredible and diverse waterfalls, including the jaw-dropping 250-foot Kolekole Falls.
The company also offers Hawaii Ecotourism Certified Tours, a certification given to tour operators who are committed to conservation, positively affecting the land’s natural and cultural resources, and contributing to local communities.
Consider paying a little extra to hang out under this incredible 50-foot privately-owned waterfall and enjoy a picnic lunch after your zipline tour is complete.
Don’t forget to be prepared before you go! Wear closed-toe shoes, dress appropriately for the weather, leave your valuables at home, pull back long hair, and prepare for the experience of a lifetime.
Hesitant to go zip lining? Let me say that absolutely anyone can go zip lining. It’s completely safe and is truly the experience of a lifetime (trust me – I’ve gone twice on Oahu and plan to hit up Skyline Eco-Adventures on my trip to Hawaii Island next month). While you might want to stay away if you’re terrified of heights, zip lining is a perfect activity for anyone who wants a little adventure in their life – or just some incredible aerial views of the islands.
