In "14 Hawaii Zip lines To Experience in 2017: Part Two," you'll learn about seven high-flying zip line options on the islands of Kauai and Oahu.
Kauai
8) Princeville Ranch Adventures
On Kauai's north shore, the Zip Express at Princeville Ranch Adventures thrills with a combo of nine lines and a suspension bridge spanning a cascading waterfall. The "King Kong" grand finale defines adventure. After climbing to the platform on the 26-foot-high tower, partners take a leap of faith to race side-by-side for 1,200 feet. Other options include a "Zip n' Dip" with swimming or "Ride n' Glide" with horseback riding across open pastures.
9) Koloa Zip line
Near Poipu, Koloa Zip line launched Kauai's first nighttime tour that rolls out along an eight-line course that electrifies with the island's longest at 2,500 feet. As the day edges toward twilight, the first four lines transport you above lush landscapes that surrounds the south shore's Waita Reservoir. Once the sun sets, head lanterns and the stars above illuminate the way along the final lines.
10) Outfitters Kauai
Outfitters Kauai ramps up the island's zip lining frenzy with a trio of choices at 4,000-acre Kipu Ranch. Following a remodel to its six original lines, Nui Zip has upped the action by adding three additional 1,000-foot tandem lines.
Diehards love the Kahuna Poipu tour because it's void of beginner lines. Just count on "harnessing up" for a half-dozen rides that include the longest airtime ride on Kauai. While racing on side-by-side tandem lines, pairs take in spectacular views of the sprawling ranch that has been featured in such films as "Jurassic Park," "Pirates of the Caribbean," "Indiana Jones" and "The Descendants."
11) Kauai Backcountry Adventures
With access to 17,000 acres of former plantation lands, Kauai Backcountry Adventures lets you "get high" zooming along seven lines that travel down the mountainside to the valley floor. At the end of the line, it's all about kicking back with snacks and swimming in a natural pool.

Oahu
12) Coral Crater Adventure Park
Considered Oahu's "new kid on the block," Coral Crater Adventure Park has debuted with 35 acres of zip line courses, climbing/rappelling wall, off-road treks and a 50-foot tandem giant swing. All ages are appeased since there's a six-liner for adults and a "keiki" course for the youngsters. The park provides a flurry of combo packages that group zip line adventures with other exhilarating activities.
13) Kualoa Ranch
Within a 4,000-acre spread on the island's Windward Coast, Kualoa Ranch's 2.5-hour Treetop Canopy Zip line Tour transports aerial junkies from the back of private Kaaawa Valley via seven tandem sections ranging from 200-1,640 feet, two suspension bridges and three mini-hiking trails.
If the landscape looks familiar, it should. Kualoa's vast ranchlands, mountain backdrop and deep valleys have "starred" in such blockbusters as "50 First Dates," "Godzilla," "Jurassic World," "Jurassic Park," "LOST" and "Hawaii Five-0."
As it weaves Hawaiian culture into the remote, heart-racing action, guests learn about Hawaiian traditions, discover native flora and fauna, and cross natural streams that all contribute to making the history-rich valley so spectacular.
14) Keana Farms
Hitting Oahu's north shore with the island's first zip line tour, CLIMB Works Keana Farms in Kahuku has tacked on its eighth - and longest - dual line that revs up the velocity along a half-mile run. Its dual track sets range from 500-2,400 feet.
Count on mega-engaging views of lush mountains and sandy beaches, plus the sustainable Kahuku farm that flourishes with more than one million pounds of produce each year. The adventure also includes a two-mile ATV ride up a mountainside, scenic boardwalks, rappelling, rope climbing and sky bridge crossings.
