Kauai Backcountry Zipline Adventures takes you above the lush tropical rainforest canopy. You will harness up and zip across valleys and gulleys, and soar over streams! You will be taken to the heart of Kaua’i through private plantation lands that have never before been open to the public. Fly above the lush eucalyptus forests, spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, and swim in their pristine pond.
Travel on a 4 wheel drive ATV transporter across the old Lihue sugar cane plantation to a zip line course built on land never before accessible to the general public. The 7 lines descend a mountainside and at the end of the course you can enjoy a refreshing swim at a little stream at the valley bottom of the zipline course.

A few years ago no one ever heard of zipping … now it is the hottest activity on Kauai! All of these lines have been engineered and constructed to the highest standards meeting requirements set by ACCT (the Association for Challenge Course Technology). This is actually one of the SAFER things you will do on vacation. You are more likely to get hurt loading luggage into your rental car or hanging out at your resort’s swimming pool!
Zipping is FUN … and it is addictive! If you have time and your budget allows, you might even decide to do two zipline tours during your vacation. Really … it’s that much fun! I talked with a client recently who did THREE zipline tours during one vacation. We have clients who have told us that they are making their vacation destination plans based upon the availability of zipline tours … if there are no zipline tours to do they’ll go someplace that has them! If you decide to take up their advice and do more than one zipline tour, we would suggest either Princeville Ranch or Kauai Backcountry for one tour, and either Treetops or Kipu Zipline for the other.
If you are having problems deciding, call our office toll-free at 1.877.678.7333 and we’ll help you sort things out and make a decision.
