The Experience

Before You Go

Reserve pickup details early

You must provide your pickup location at least 6 hours before departure—confirm the time to avoid missed transfers.

Mind the weight limits

All passenger weights are required in advance; the maximum is 275 lbs and the minimum is 40 lbs—no exceptions.

Wear closed‑toe shoes

Sturdy shoes with grip make the short hikes and zipline platforms safer and more comfortable.

Hydrate and skip heavy meals before zipline

Drink water before you arrive and avoid a heavy meal right before the ziplines to stay comfortable during the harnessed portion.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Short stop at nearby small farms along Kamehameha Highway for fresh fruit and local snacks
  • Quiet walk through the plantation’s garden exhibits or a quick photo at the pineapple maze before the tour departs

Wildlife

  • Native Hawaiian honeycreepers (forest birds like ʻamakihi)
  • Introduced mongoose and common island lizards in lowland gardens

Conservation Note

Operators encourage staying on marked paths and supporting local producers; Kō Hana’s use of Hawaiian cane and Coral Crater’s habitat awareness help reduce broader agricultural impacts.

The Dole site reflects Oʻahu’s pineapple and sugarcane plantation era; Kō Hana continues that agricultural lineage by distilling rum from locally grown heirloom sugarcane.
