I had never zip lined before but decided to be adventurous (and brave!) when Q suggested it as a family activity. So on the second full day of our trip, we got up early and drove to the Hamakua Coast, known for its rainforests, waterfalls, and gorgeous sights, and home to the Botanical World Adventures. We wound up zipping on lines as high as 200 feet, with a canopy of green below our feet – and it was hands-down one of the coolest things I’ve ever done! (The girls were totally fearless, too; Avery, because of her size, was attached to an instructor on her first few zips, but by the end, she opted to go on her own.) After our adventure, we walked through the gorgeous and green rainforest (where it felt as if we were in a different world) before visiting nearby Akaka Falls, a 442-foot waterfall. Q and I saw it the last time we were on the island, but – because of the recent rainfall – it was much more impressive this time around.
