Description

With Kaua'i Backcountry Adventures, you can soar over a pristine rainforest landscape as you work your way down from the top of a ridge. Fly across seven ziplines that descend a stunning mountainside with an exotic jungle environment. Feel the rush as each line takes you deeper into the valley below.

Kauai Backcountry is centrally located with check-in at their baseyard in Hanamaulu near the Lihue Airport. Your adventure begins with scenic ride in a four-wheel drive vehicle taking you across the old Lihue sugar cane plantation. Along the way, your certified guide shares interesting information on island history, culture, flora, and fauna. When you arrive at the first zipline, you receive a thorough briefing, preparing you to soar over tropical forests, streams, and jungles rich with magnificent scenery!

After ziplining you can relax with snacks in a bamboo grove along a picturesque stream. You can bask in the sun, or take a dip in a natural swimming pool. Enjoy this exclusive local experience, as this course is built on land that has never before been accessible to the general public.

Kevin's Activity Tips:

Kauai Backcountry's Zipline is what I would call a "user-friendly" zipline course. It is not the longest, or the highest, but it is a fun course that is a really good choice for someone who wants to try ziplining but might have just a little bit of anxiety about heights. The first line here is a "trainer line" that is a just a few feet off the ground. This helps build a beginner's confidence in the equipment and will make the rest of the lines a lot easier (and less stressful).

Part of the fun of this course is GETTING THERE ... the ride in a 4WD vehicle is spectacular and you get to see scenery that people who have lived on this island all of their lives have never had a chance to see. For best views into the mountains we recommend the morning tour slot ... when the sun is shining from the east it illuminates Mount Waialeala to the West and photos are more vibrant. This tour is done by the same company that does the insanely popular Kauai Mountain Tubing.
