Soar on ziplines through the forest canopy high above rivers and waterfalls. Hike, swim, and rope swing into a deep-water pond at the base of a mountain stream waterfall. Enjoy learning about the ecology, natural history, culture, folklore, and legends of Kauai.
The four Ziplines are designed, built, and operated according to the highest safety standards as set by the ACCT (Association for Challenge Course Technology). Each of them is different and unique. And, the setting is magnificent: Kipu Ranch, a 4000 acre piece of paradise that has long been closed to the general public. The lands run from the tall mountaintops of the jagged Hoary Head Range through pastoral meadows down to the edge of a lazy jungle stream. You?ll travel private foot trails winding through exotic forests to reach the rim of a narrow slot canyon. Fern covered black rock walls rise above waterfall after cascading waterfall. And that is where the fun REALLY starts.
After a safety briefing conducted by one of our trained, certified guides, you will be issued your state-of-the-art safety and climbing gear, and set out to travel over, under, around and through that gorgeous slot canyon under our expert leadership. You?ll go from top to bottom through the forest canopy just about every fun way you can imagine: ziplines, elevated walkways, suspension bridges, and even the new and innovative Zippel line, that combines the use of rappelling gear with ziplining. And you?ll really get a kick out of our new tandem zipline- ride side-by-side, laughing (or maybe screaming!!!) through the tree tops and over waterfalls. Hooting, hollering, and ear-to-ear grins seem to be standard operating procedure!
A short hike through the jungle to the beautiful Kipu Falls for swimming and rope swings rounds out this exciting 4 hour tour. Once there, the more adventurous types will be jumping into swimming holes at the base of waterfalls cascading over black lava rock cliffs, and swinging on ropes tied to tree branches high above mountain pools. Others will simply relax and enjoy the quiet beauty!
