How Much Does It Cost to Zipline in Hawaii?
Most operators will charge between $150 and $200 for a full zip course. Some ziplines that are part of adventure parks might have just one or two lines, and they tend to cost under $100.
Is Ziplining Safe in Hawaii?
Ziplining in Hawaii is an extremely safe sport. The state has extremely rigid safety standards and only uses ziplines that are ACCT or ASTM-approved, which means the regulating organizations have tested and approved the equipment.
That being said, a few accidents in Hawaii involving employees have occurred. For example, in 2011, two contractors fell while tightening a zipline, and an employee, Patricia Rabellizsa, fell while working in Maui. However, such accidents are extremely rare. Simply put, you’ve got more chance of getting into a car accident.
Final Thoughts
Ready to whizz through the air while having a bird’s eye view of Hawaii’s gorgeous scenery? Remember to wear covered shoes and secure all your belongings in zipped pockets. Wear comfy clothes that prevent abrasions from the harness, so ditch the shorts and opt for capris or pants instead. Covered shoes are a must, so flip-flops are a strict no-no.
