Fly eight lines through Koloa's tropical South Shore, including the half-mile Waita line, with reservoir views and the Haupu mountains defining the backdrop.
Course overview
Across the course, tropical vegetation and former sugar-plantation land frame views toward Waita Reservoir and the Haupu mountain range. It is a distinctly South Shore setting, with water, mountains and deep green terrain sharing the horizon.
The experience spans eight separate lines. The half-mile Waita line gives the course its headline distance, and Koloa Zipline identifies three lines as among the longest on Kauai. Available riding positions depend on current guide instructions and conditions.
Booking essentials
Allow about 3.5 hours for the tour and arrive 30 minutes before the booked departure. Live availability and the final GetYourGuide price are confirmed before payment.
This Koloa course pairs eight crossings with tropical scenery and broad views toward Waita Reservoir and the Haupu range. Its headline feature is the half-mile Waita line.
Our recommendation
Eight separate crossings: The experience is built around a full course rather than one showcase line.
The half-mile Waita line: Its distance gives the course a clear signature feature within the eight-line experience.
A South Shore panorama: Tropical greenery, Waita Reservoir and the Haupu mountains create a setting worth seeing from above.
Make Kauai’s wild scenery part of your adventure. Glide above tropical greenery, take in reservoir and mountain views, and experience the half-mile Waita line. Eight zip lines. One unforgettable island outing.

GetYourGuide guest reviews, edited for length and clarity.
I had so much fun! The guides were personable and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this zipline experience.
Our guides Austin and James led us really well. We felt safe throughout and could fully enjoy the flight and the views.
We had a great time with Eden and Devin! They supported whichever riding style we wanted, even when people changed their minds at the last minute. I recommend taking your own car or a rental, as rideshare drivers can be hard to find on Kauai.
We had the best time with Eden and Izzy! The best! Thank you!
I was so nervous, but T and Eden were great and helped me feel confident. Amazing!
This was my first time ziplining, and it couldn’t have been better. The guides were friendly and reassuring and kept the energy high. A perfect mix of excitement and breathtaking scenery.
