Harnessed to a cable, you ride down mountain slopes across a Kauai valley overlooking constantly changing shades of green, a river, everywhere mist, rain and running water. You can take a dip in a stream, admire a bird’s nest in a bamboo tree or simply have a laugh as the dedicated and experienced crew shares some Hawaiian tour-guide humor.

As close as you can get to riding on a rainbow.
