The course
What riding Koloa Zipline is actually like
Figure 01
Koloa runs eight lines on Kauai's south shore, and the headline span is the Waita line at 2,500 ft, the longest on the island. The course was on a shortened route for a period and the full eight-line configuration was restored in early 2026, which is worth knowing because older listings describe a smaller course.
The terrain is different from the Maui courses. Kauai's south shore is gentler and greener, and several lines cross open water, including a section over the Waita reservoir. The course also runs a rope swing and a harness position that lets riders go head-first on the longest line, which is unusual outside the record courses.
Limits are family-workable: minimum age seven, weight from 70 lbs to 280 lbs, the highest upper bound of the courses in this directory. Prices start lower than the Maui equivalents, which is the other reason Kauai often works out as the better-value zipline day in Hawaii.
The south shore is the dry side of Kauai, so weather is more reliable here than around Princeville or Hanalei. From Poipu the drive is short; from the north shore, allow well over an hour.

In context
Where this course sits in the state
Hawaii has 7 documented zipline courses across four islands and 5 of them are running. Koloa Zipline is one of 1 on Kauai, and the useful comparison is rarely the number of lines. It is the longest span, the height above the ground and the rider-weight window, because those three decide whether the day feels gentle or serious and whether everyone in your group can actually ride.
Figures on this page are recorded on the same nine fields as every other course, so they can be read against each other rather than against marketing copy. Where an operator does not publish something, this profile shows a dash instead of an estimate, and the operating status is verified with the operator rather than inherited from another listing.
Koloa Zipline questions
How many lines does Koloa Zipline have?
8 lines, with the longest at 2,500 ft. The course is currently operating.
What is the weight limit at Koloa Zipline?
Riders must weigh between 70 lbs and 280 lbs. The lower figure exists because a rider below it will not carry to the far platform; the upper one is a harness and braking limit. Confirm it with the operator, since limits sometimes differ on tandem lines.
Is Koloa Zipline suitable for children?
The binding limit is rider weight rather than age: 70 lbs at the low end. A child below that will not carry to the far platform, whatever their age. Of the courses in this directory, Umauma on the island of Hawaii has the lowest floor at 35 lbs, and Kapalua the lowest on Maui at 60 lbs.
