Family of three with one 13 year old son. First time ziplining on Kauai. Excited for the four zipline adventure which included the PowerLine - two miles long flown Superman style. Unfortunately things did not go so well. It's wasp mating season apparently so we spent the first hour driving from one zipline to the next in search of one not swarming in giant wasps. You'd think the folks at Outfitters would be prepared for such an annual event, but nope. One of our guides had to brave the swarm armed with a can of bug spray as we watched and waited for them to drop to the ground. This happened at each stop. While we waited the sun beat down and mosquitoes came to snack on us (despite having shellacked myself in bug repellant!) Our four zipline tour was cut to three due to time and even then it took almost three hours. By the time we got to the PowerLine finale, we were all ready to leave this adventure as a distant memory. On a positive note, the guides were all very friendly and tried to make the best of the situation but the company should really invest in some wasp traps to avoid this problem.
