Frequently Asked Questions
What do you wear when you go zip lining?
Longer shorts can be doable for men, but women who wear shorts can sometimes experience discomfort during the ride if the harness straps dig into the skin on their legs. Women will sometimes wear leggings for extra comfort and movability while ziplining. Long pants or capris are ideal for ziplining. Our tour provides jackets or rain gear if needed.
What is a zipline tour?
A zipline tour is a series of cables stretched between trees or poles in which participants are attached to the cable with a pulley that attaches to a climbing harness. Each line has a take-off ramp and a landing ramp. Multiple lines make up a “course”. Lines usually increase in length and speed as you progress down the course.
What should I expect on a zipline tour?
Zipline tours usually involve some light hiking and stair climbing. All gear is provided but you must wear close-toed shoes and weigh between 80 and 250 pounds. Some zipline courses can accommodate lighter weight kids or a bit heavier people but not much more than 270 lbs.
Where do we check in?
We have a check-in office at the Fairway Shops for our Ka'anapali tour located at 2580 Keka'a Drive, Ka'anapali, HI 96761 (Our Haleakala Tour does NOT meet in Ka'anapali)
What should I wear?
Shorts and a short-sleeve t-shirt are recommended (due to regularly hot weather here). SUNSCREEN is highly recommended. White clothing is NOT recommended. Wearing brightly colored clothes will make pictures look amazing!

What kind of shoes should I wear?
We require a closed shoe for safety - tennis shoes or hiking shoes are best. No hiking sandals, Teva's, Keene's, Crocs, Tom's or Sketcher Shapers allowed on the course.
Are there any health issues I should consider?
Customers with serious neck, back, or joint injuries or chronic heart problems should use their own discretion about their capabilities to safely participate in this activity. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that anyone with who has had recent surgery, especially on ankles, knees or their back, not participate in this tour. Although we try to always make customers comfortable both physically and mentally, some degree of impact on joints or some degree of customer anxiety about zipping is unavoidable.
