The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a refillable water bottle

There’s a midway break but limited shade; stay hydrated and avoid single-use plastics.

Closed-toe shoes required

Sturdy Crocs or athletic shoes work best—no sandals; expect dirt and occasional dust on platforms.

Know the weight limit

Maximum participant weight is 275 lbs and weights are collected at booking—no exceptions.

Arrive ready to move

Groups are kept tight—wear a secure hat or stash loose items; phones should be on a tether if used.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Makakilo Lookout for quick coastal panoramas after your tour
  • Ko Olina lagoons—calmer waters and good snorkeling near the west coast resorts

Wildlife

  • Hawaiian hoary bat (ʻōpeʻapeʻa) in dusk skies
  • Common shorebirds and kestrels near open ridgelines

Conservation Note

Operators emphasize staying on platforms, minimizing litter, and using reef-safe sunscreen; bring a reusable bottle to reduce single-use waste.

The park occupies land shaped by past quarrying and agriculture; reclamation of those excavation scars allowed for adventure uses that respect rugged local topography.
