3 MILLION AND COUNTING: With over 17 years experience, and more than 3 million zipline crossings, Skyline is the most experienced zipline operator in the U.S.
 
TRAINED GUIDES: Every Skyline zipline guide goes through an 80-hour training process (double the industry standard) covering all aspects of equipment, safety, and operations. They then undergo weeks of additional on-the-job training before officially earning the title of Skyline Zipline Guide.  

TESTED FOR SAFETY: All our equipment is tested to hold at least 5,000 pounds and each zipline cable has a minimum breaking strength of over 26,000 pounds.

INSPECTED DAILY: Each day, our trained staff thoroughly inspects all lines, platforms, trails, and equipment, and an accredited 3rd party ACCT inspector reviews all ziplines, equipment, and practices annually. 
 

LEARN ABOUT AUTHENTIC HAWAII: Our guides make each tour a unique experience. Trained to uncover Hawaii's rich history and to keep you safe and smiling throughout the tour, they’re experts at what they do and set Skyline apart from the rest.

CLOTHING: For ziplining, shorts or pants and a t-shirt are ideal for your comfort. If you’re interested in swimming, please bring a swimsuit and a change of clothes.

SHOES: For your safety, we ask that you wear shoes with a fully-enclosed toe and heel, like an athletic or hiking shoe. Shoes must be snug. (No Teva or Keen-type sandals with open sections or 5-finger shoes.) 

GLASSES: Glasses and sunglasses may be worn - just be sure to bring your strap.

DITCH THE PACK: You can bring your backpack, but we'll lock it up for you while you zip.
 
 

CAMERA/CELLPHONE CAMERA: You will definitely want to capture the beauty of the tour and waterfalls, so bring your camera! That being said, bring your camera on the zipline portion of the adventure at your own risk. We recommend that you securely strap it to yourself or use one of our free pouches to store it while you zip. There are GoPro cameras available to rent on each tour.

PROTECT YOUR SKIN: Bring your reef-safe sunscreen. We also recommend wearing clothes that help block the sun.
