Northshore Zipline Canopy Tours in Haiku, HI

Tip: Bring good shoes (no flip flops etc), a GoPro and dad jokes. They love those.

Tip: Almost every Zipline required climbing a ladder. The kids climbed easily but the ladders made from bamboo & rope wobbled all over and I was afraid my 83 year old husband wasn’t going to make it up the last couple. Instead of our photos we were told they had a professional photographer on hand to take photos along the course. We would have great photos! I consider this an “up sell” but what do you do at this point? At the end we went inside to look but they were mixed in with everyone else’s and done like a quick moving slide show. My husband was so exhausted we left without purchasing since we were told the photos would be available on a site to see for 90 days and we could purchase anytime before that. Yet, when I tried to look at my photos I was told I had to look first. It has been 2 months since I briefly glanced at photos flashed on a screen and they want me to purchase, basically, sight unseen. This is “upswell” bait and switch” whatever you want to call it, but tourists are not allowed to take pictures, although we had nice deep pockets that sealed so nothing would fall out. Then they want us to pay for a professional photographer who won’t show her work till we pay first. According to the owners, if they put the photos up for the buyers, the buyers steal them. Plenty of photographers do this, so apparently they haven’t figured out how to secure the website, but they can take $$. If you do this Zipline, just know it will cost you a whole lot more! I can’t download a pic to show because I don’t even have one.
