Perched on the wind-swept slopes above Kipu Ranch on Kauai's southeast coast, Zip & Splash is a compact, high-thrill outing that pairs the state's longest zipline with a splash-down into a freshwater pool. Located at 230 Kipu Road, Lihue, this two- to three-hour loop run by Outfitters Kauai delivers fast cable runs, wide panoramas from mountain ridgelines to the Pacific, and a surprising pool finale that cools you off after reaching speeds up to 50 mph. The main feature is the FlyLine Kauai Zipline: four thousand feet of cable that carries riders over ranchland, steep gulches, and stands of kiawe and guava. The line's length and speed set it apart in Hawaii—expect side-by-side racing runs that push toward 50 mph while hanging above mixed volcanic soils and pasture. After the zip sequence, the itinerary shifts to the WaterZip at Bamboo Pool, where participants leap or slide into clear fresh water, turning an adrenal rush into a backyard-lake plunge. This outing is compact but rich: a safety briefing and guided transfers in an open-air truck, local-sourced water and Hanalima bakery cookies included, and English-speaking guides who balance instruction with island storytelling. It’s family-friendly—ages 7 and up—with straightforward restrictions (height and weight limits and common-sense exclusions for pregnancy and serious spinal issues) that keep the experience safe without feeling clinical. Why it stands out: Kauai is known for remote canyons and ragged coastlines; Zip & Splash concentrates that wildness into two hours, giving visitors an accessible taste of the island's topography without a full-day hike. The FlyLine’s exposure and the WaterZip’s freshwater pool are uncommon in a place defined by ocean beaches, so the contrast makes the trip memorable. Practical notes: wear footwear with tread (sport sandals or aqua socks recommended), swimwear under comfortable clothes, and pack sunscreen, bug spray, and a towel. Participants should be in reasonable physical health and comfortable with heights. Meet at Outfitters Kauai headquarters at Kipu; the operation provides water and snacks but not transportation from hotels. Check-in happens at Outfitters Kauai Headquarters at Kipu (230 Kipu Road, Lihue); guides load you into an open-air truck for the short transfer to the FlyLine launch. Flyers must be at least 4 ft tall and weigh between 60 lbs and 275 lbs—minors need adult accompaniment—and pregnant guests or those with significant back or neck issues should not participate. The company supplies cold bottled spring water and Hanalima bakery cookies; bring a camera with a secure strap, because pockets are unreliable during high-speed runs today.
Plan for about 2–3 hours total, including check-in, transport, safety briefing, ziplines, and the WaterZip splash.
