The Hawaiian Islands are a sort of proving ground for thrillseekers looking to discover just how much they can take. From the high-flying adventures of helicopter tours to the underwater wonders of diving excursions, you might\u00a0look at Hawaii\u2019s list of adventure activities and wonder if there\u2019s a family-friendly option . There certainly is \u2013\u00a0ziplining!<\/p>\n

From a distance, any zipline course may look like it\u2019s reserved for only the most daring of travelers. Considering the height and speed of the experience, some parents may not even entertain the thought of their children zooming down over the treetops of Hawaii\u2019s most lush forests, but this is one thrilling experience that everyone in the family can try.<\/p>\n

Safe Thrills for All<\/h2>\n

When it comes to your children, the number one concern that probably crosses your mind is safety. You don\u2019t want to allow them to do something unsafe and we certainly wouldn\u2019t encourage anything of the sort. When we say that ziplining in Hawaii is one of the safest, most-family-friendly activities you can partake in, we mean it.<\/p>\n

Though you\u2019re hanging\u00a0several hundred feet above the ground, your legs hovering over the forest canopy, the strength and modern advancements of many of Hawaii\u2019s zipline courses should give you peace of mind that you\u2019re in capable\u00a0hands.<\/p>\n

One great feature is the state-of-the-art braking system. Where some zipline courses require you to focus on when you need to engage the brake, many of Hawaii\u2019s courses are equipped with a system that does the work for you. Not only does this further amplify the overall safety of ziplining, it also allows you the freedom to use your hands to take pictures or just open up and enjoy the warm breeze rushing by.<\/p>\n

Awe-Inspiring Views\"\"<\/h2>\n

Along with being family-friendly, ziplining also offers impeccable views. Whether you\u2019re zooming by the coast or above a sea of green, at these heights, you’re able to see far into the distance for a perfect profile of Oahu, Maui, Kauai, or the Big Island.<\/p>\n

Each platform starts your journey to a different sliver of island, where you’re likely to get a different view and experience than your prior ride. Ziplining is one of the most awe-inspiring means of exploring the Hawaiian Islands, which is another reason why it\u2019s such an acclaimed family-friendly activity. Not only is it thrilling, it\u2019s utterly breathtaking, and you don\u2019t want your family to miss out on\u00a0experiencing this view.<\/p>\n

The Limits<\/h2>\n

While ziplining is safe for most ages, there is typically a weight minimum and maximum that must be met. The minimum can be\u00a0anywhere from 40 to 60 lbs while the maximum typically tops out at 275 lbs. As long as everyone in the family\u00a0meets those requirements,\u00a0you’re\u00a0all set to enjoy an experience that you\u2019ll talk about for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
