About Koloa Zipline
Koloa Zipline is Kauai's premier zipline adventure, operating on the south shore just minutes from the Poipu resort area. The course features some of the longest individual ziplines on the island, stretching across a dramatic landscape of deep valleys, tropical forest canopy, and towering mountain ridgelines. With over 1,400 five-star reviews on TripAdvisor, Koloa Zipline has established itself as one of the top-rated adventure activities in all of Hawaii.
The main zipline tour includes eight lines of varying lengths and speeds, progressing from introductory runs to exhilarating high-speed crossings that soar hundreds of feet above the valley floor. Guides clip guests in and manage all the technical aspects, so no prior experience is needed. The course is built across terrain that was once a sugarcane plantation, and guides weave the area's agricultural and Hawaiian cultural history into the experience between lines. Koloa also offers a tandem option for guests who want to zip side-by-side, making it a popular choice for couples and families.
What makes Koloa Zipline stand out is the combination of world-class infrastructure with a deeply local feel. The guides are enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and bring genuine aloha spirit to every tour. The course design takes advantage of natural elevation changes rather than relying on artificial towers, which means the views and terrain feel wild and untouched. For visitors staying on the south shore, the convenience of a five-minute drive from Poipu makes it easy to fit a half-day zipline adventure into even a packed vacation itinerary.
