Zipping through the Green

Ecotourism has become one of the largest economic drivers in the state of Hawaii, let alone the island of Kauai.  A wonderful way to investigate some of the Kauai Hawaii real estate that has been untouched for years is by taking part in a zipline adventure that runs through the lush green forests of Kauai and takes participants on an exhilarating adventure through some of Kauai’s most pristine places.  Ziplining is quite simple due to the lack of physical involvement.  Although it takes some effort to climb the initial platform, the entire ride is downhill and zipliners can concentrate entirely on the beautiful terrain they pass over.

A number of reputable companies on Kauai offer the heart-pounding rush of ziplining. Princeville Ranch’s Zip n Dip features the island’s longest zipline and allows people to soar like birds over awe-inspiring valleys, streams, and canyons.  The treetop adventure consists of nine zipline crossings, a suspension bridge, and even a lunch break and swim at a picturesque waterfall.  Kauai Backcountry Zipline offers a similar experience over seven distinct ziplines.  Part of the excursion is the six-wheeled jungle vehicle that takes riders from the base camp to the top of the mountain where the zipline tour starts.
