Motorcycle Route: Zipline + North Kohala

Up for some adventure? In this route we combine a great zipline tour with our friends down at Big Island Eco Adventures with awesome, twisty roads, good food, and dazzling views.

- First things first, if you wanna zip you gotta book in advance. This tour company is very popular and is booked at least a week in advance.
- Allow yourself at least an hour to get to the zipline check in center from Big Island Motorcycle Co.
- From Big Island Motorcycle Co. in Waikoloa, head north on Hwy 19 by making a left at the light.
- After 10 miles you will come to a T intersection. Make a left toward Hawi.
- After about 2 miles make a right onto Akoni Pule Hwy toward Hawi.
- Continue along this hwy until you reach the town of Hawi (the first town you come to) and make a right on to Hawi Road just before the old-fashioned gas station.
- On your immediate right is the zipline check-in. There are big signs pointing the way.
- Enjoy your zipline tour! Below are some highlights from the tour we tagged along on:

6WD ride through the back country to get to the ziplines

A happy zipper!

A nervous zipper!

Cheeee Hoooooo!

Zipline Check-in

- All that adventure will surely make you hungry. Fortunately, there are several good options within walking distance of the zipline check-in. Bamboo has been voted best restaurant on the island for many years, and is right across the street. Super fresh sushi (they make their own wasabi!) can be had at Sushi Rock, also across the street. There is also mexican, plate lunch style, and deli options available all in this one little town. Yum!
- Now that your belly is full, let's get in some adventurous riding. From the zipline check-in, head up Hawi Road (NOT the way you came) toward Waimea and continue to follow the signs toward Waimea.
- This is our favorite riding road on the island. Lots of great twisties and amazing mountain-to-ocean views.
- This road eventually dumps you into the town of Waimea. Make a right at the stop sign toward Kawaihae.
- After about 10 miles make a left onto Hwy 19 toward Kona/Waikoloa.
- After another 10 miles you reach the traffic light for the Waikoloa Beach Resort, make a right and you are back at Big Island Motorcycle Co.
