Coral Crater Six Zipline Adventure

Coral Crater’s six-line course is five separate ziplines plus a second run on the last one, a dual racing line you ride twice beside whoever you came with. Every line hangs low over the treetops of a former Kapolei quarry, 300 to 1,000 feet long by the operator’s count.

How the guides run the course, check-in through the racing line

The 2 hours slot splits into 15 minutes of check-in, then 15 minutes of gear-up and briefing, then about 90 minutes on the course. Check-in is where you get weighed, fully clothed, against the 40 to 275 lb band, with no refund if you fall outside it. A November 2025 reviewer timed about 75 minutes of riding inside that window, so budget the rest for platform waits.

Guides work in pairs with groups of about 10. One clips you in at every platform, and you stay clipped to a static line while you wait your turn. Braking is automatic, so no rider brakes themselves, and rope elevators bring you down at the end. Kids from 40 to 60 lbs ride tandem with a guide, never with another rider; from 61 lbs everyone rides solo. Minimum age is 6, and anyone under 13 needs an adult riding on the same tour.

The racing line comes last: the only side-by-side line on the course, ridden twice. It’s the line reviewers single out, and the same reviewers credit the guides with keeping nervous riders and kids talking on the platforms. Between platforms you walk short stretches over loose footing and tree roots, some of it uphill, and carry about 15 lbs of gear up the stairs. Pregnant riders are not permitted, and the operator advises against riding with back, neck or heart issues.

Three lines, six lines, or the tower package: which version to book

HawaiiTours, where the Book button on this page goes, sells three versions of the course from one page. Prices below are per adult (13 and up) and per child (6 to 12), with tandem riders at the child rate, as of September 2026.

The 3-Line Zipline is $100 per adult and $90 per child, about an hour, on the first three lines only. Book it for a young child or for a first-timer who is unsure. It also leaves time for the ATV loop or the tower on the same day.

The 6-Line Zipline, the tour on this page, is $180 per adult and $160 per child or tandem rider in a 2 hours slot: all five lines plus the racing line twice. The first three lines are the shorter ones, where first-timers settle down; the long lines and the racing line come after them, so book the six if you want the long ones. Booked direct with Coral Crater, the same tours run $1 cheaper, $99 and $179.

The Zipline and Adventure Tower Package is $270 per adult and $240 per child, about four hours, and adds the 18-element high-ropes tower and the climbing wall to the six-line course. Coral Crater’s night zipline, three lines on Saturday nights with a campfire, from $129, sells only direct through the operator, not through this page.

Cancellation follows HawaiiTours, not the 24-hour policy on Coral Crater’s own site. A group under 6 gets a full refund when canceling 72 hours or more before the start; a group of 6 or more needs 96 hours. Inside 72 hours the sale is final. If the operator cancels for weather or safety you get 100% back; otherwise the tour runs rain or shine.

Check-in is 10:00 AM or 2:00 PM daily. Arrive 15 minutes before your start with the waiver signed online (everyone signs, spectators included, and a parent signs for anyone under 18), and bring the credit card you booked with plus matching ID. Late arrivals get no refund. Waikīkī pickup is a per-group add-on, $250 for up to 5 guests or $350 for 6 to 14, with pickups from 8:10 to 8:40 AM at listed Waikīkī hotels, so it serves the 10 AM tour only.

Parking, shoes, and what else is on the park grounds

Parking is free, and reviewers describe it as easy. Search “Coral Crater Adventure Park” in your GPS rather than the street address (91-1780 Midway Rd), which geocodes badly. From Waikīkī the drive on the H-1 is about 30 minutes; the operator says 20, so allow 30. The park sits in a former rock quarry below the Waiʻanae range and runs on solar power.

Closed-toe shoes are required; Crocs and water shoes pass, flip-flops don’t. Check-in sells a few pairs of water shoes. Bring sunscreen and bug spray and tie long hair back. Leave loose jewelry and baggy clothes at the hotel. Lockers start at $5 per 2 hours; GoPro rental and a photo package are the other add-ons; price them at check-in. Tip the guides 10 to 15%; they take cash, Venmo, PayPal or Cash App.

Anyone not riding waits on a turfed spectator area with shaded picnic tables, next to a gift shop with drinks and snacks; food trucks show up on some days.

Coral Crater also sells, on the same grounds, a two-seat ATV loop ($139, driver 18 and up with a license), e-moto dirt bikes ($99, age 9 and up), the Adventure Course high ropes ($69.99) and an Extreme version with a 50-foot freefall ($99.99), plus a Wet’n’Wild combo and the Mauka Warriors Luau on site in the evening. Plan a half day here, not two hours.

Who it’s for, and where to go instead

A guide clips you in at every platform and the brakes are automatic, so a 40-lb six-year-old rides it tandem without anyone working a handbrake. This is the Oʻahu zipline we point families and first-timers to. The lines run low over the trees with no valley or coast view, and reviewers who have zipped elsewhere call the course short and tame.

For the longest and highest lines on Oʻahu, book CLIMB Works on the North Shore. For scenery, Kualoa Ranch’s Jurassic Valley zipline runs through Kaʻaʻawa Valley. Our Oʻahu zipline comparison sets all four zipline tours on the island against each other by price and line length, with a note on who should book each one.

If you’re anywhere near the 40 or 275 lb ends of the weight band, weigh yourself at home in the clothes you’ll ride in: the check-in weight is final, and there is no refund if you miss it.

Coral Crater turned a former Kapolei rock quarry into a solar-powered adventure park. By the operator’s account the zipline course exceeds ACCT (Association for Challenge Course Technology) standards and is inspected daily, and the guides train with Synergo. We list it because it takes a 40-lb six-year-old tandem and clips every rider in at every platform, and because the same grounds have an ATV loop, a ropes tower, dirt bikes and an evening luau, so you can fill a half day without a second drive.
