Even if you’ve been ziplining before, you’ve never experienced anything quite like a tour at CLIMB Works Keana Farms! Located on the grounds of a working farm on Oahu’s North Shore, our zipline course combines state of the art technology with breathtaking natural beauty. To help you prepare for your next vacation, we have put together a guide to five things that make our Oahu ziplines totally unique.

1. Patented Braking System

Many ziplines employ a “hand-braking” system, in which participants must wear gloves and grab onto the zipline cable in order to slow down. While hand-braking is very common, it increases the risk of inconvenience and injury for participants. An overwhelmed zipliner might brake too early and get stuck in the middle of a line or he might forget to brake at all and slam full speed into a stationary object. Hand-brakes have also been known to cause friction burns if a piece of skin is accidentally exposed to a cable.

Here at CLIMB Works, we have eschewed hand-braking in favor of our own patented braking system called ZIPKEA. This device absorbs the energy produced by a zipline rider and reuses it to bring the participant to a comfortable landing speed. ZIPKEA also features a built-in retrieval system that brings riders to the landing platform if they are coming in too slow.

2. Dual Line Design

Another thing that makes our Oahu ziplines unique is their dual line design. All eight of our lines can be enjoyed by two riders at the same time. Guests can soar through the sky side by side with a friend or family member. Of course, our dual lines are especially fun for couples who are on vacation together. What could be more romantic than flying over the North Shore’s gorgeous scenery with the one you love?

3. The Longest Zipline on the Island

CLIMB Works Keana Farms is home to the longest zipline in Oahu! Stretching for roughly 2,500 feet (about half a mile), our signature line is absolutely thrilling. Our entire zipline course is bigger than any of the other courses in the area, and we also boast the highest ziplines on the island.

4. Beautiful Photos

If you were hoping to get a souvenir photo from your zipline adventure, we’ve got you covered! As you make your way through the tour, your guides will snap some great action shots of your whole group enjoying the course. All of your photos will be available for purchase at the end of the tour.

5. Bonus Adventures

Ziplines aren’t the only fun you’ll enjoy when you take a tour at CLIMB Works! Each tour begins with a 10-minute ATV ride into the forest, which is an adventure in itself. Other highlights include three open-air bridges, two rappels, and a number of learning stations where you’ll hear fun facts about Hawaiian history and culture. Guests will even have the chance to sample some of the food grown right here at Keana Farms, including apple bananas, cherry tomatoes, and macadamia nuts.

Here at CLIMB Works Keana Farms, guests are often surprised to find out the meaning behind our company’s name. Many people assume that the “climb” in CLIMB Works simply refers to the fun rope climbing that is part of our zipline course. While there is plenty of climbing during our adventures, the “climb” in CLIMB Works is actually an acronym for Challenge. Learn. Inspire. Master. Believe. Pretty cool, right?

These words are more than just flowery language; they represent the essence of our company’s philosophy. CLIMB Works was founded with the mission of helping people accomplish more than they ever thought they could. Every day, our team is blessed with the opportunity to guide our guests through an unforgettable experience that leaves them with a real sense of accomplishment. To help you prepare for your visit to our ziplines in Oahu, we have put together a brief guide to the CLIMB ideology.

1. Challenge

The legendary motivational speaker Zig Ziglar once said, “If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you.” We completely agree. In order for people to grow, they must first step out of their comfort zones. For many of our guests, going ziplining is a completely new, and somewhat frightening prospect. Whizzing through the sky at 30 miles per hour is definitely not an everyday experience!

The zipline course at CLIMB Works is the perfect way for guests to challenge themselves in a safe and controlled environment. Our course is designed for first-timers, and our guides will be with you every step of the way. As our owner Nick Thompson puts it, “It’s not about pushing to the extreme. It’s about pushing just beyond the comfortable.”

2. Learn

The second tenet of the CLIMB way of life is to always learn new things. When you make your way through or canopy tour, our knowledgeable guides will teach you lots of interesting information, not just about ziplining but about Hawaii as well. Guests will be immersed in local history and culture, and they will learn how to pronounce Hawaiian words.

Of course, all of this learning will never feel like school! Instead of sitting in a classroom, you’ll be enjoying hands-on experiences like cracking macadamia nuts with mortars and pestles and sampling sustainably grown fruit from Keana Farms.

3. Inspire

When we are presented with a challenge, inspiration is key in overcoming our obstacles. The guides at CLIMB Works are sure to inspire you with their unrelenting positivity and supportive attitude. Of course, our guests will also take inspiration from Hawaii’s breathtaking natural beauty. As you ride our ziplines in Oahu, you will admire spectacular views of the mountains, oceans, and greenery.

4. Master

There is no better feeling than mastering a challenge. When guests complete our zipline course, they are noticeably changed. They are more exuberant, more confident, and to put it simply, more alive. Guests who arrive with a fear of heights often end their tour by choosing to zip upside down. Witnessing this transformation is the best part of working at CLIMB Works!

5. Believe

Once you have conquered a challenge, you will find that you have a new sense of self-confidence. Throughout our canopy tours, guests know that their guides believe in them, and by the end of the adventure, they believe in themselves. This self-belief will follow you long after your visit to CLIMB Works, and it will serve you well as you embark on exciting new challenges.
