Here you can enjoy ziplines, ATV rides, an aerial challenge course, and Oahu’s largest climbing wall, the one-and-only Adventure Tower.

History and Background Information
Coral Crater Adventure Park is the kind of attraction where you can choose to spend just one enjoyable hour trying something new or indulge in an entire unforgettable day doing something you love. Considered by many to be the top outdoor activity in Kapolei, a charming community located about 20 minutes west of Pearl Harbor, Coral Crater Adventure Park is a proud supporter of the Hawaii Ecotourism Association and its commitment to the fundamental principles of sustainable tourism. If you’re driving yourself to the park using GPS, Coral Crater Adventure Park recommends you input Coral Crater Adventure Park into Google Maps, rather than a specific address, since that’s typically the most reliable way get to the attraction without encountering any logistical hassles.
What’s Here
Coral Crater Adventure Park is home to a variety of outdoor adventure activities suitable for the entire family. Ziplining is one of the most popular activities available here, as the park features six lines ranging from 300 feet to 1,000 feet in length. Adrenaline junkies will love the 50-minute, high-impact ATV course, which bills itself as “the ultimate off-road Oahu ATV tour.” Two people to an ATV, you’ll enjoy a thrilling ride across a rugged, muddy, and memorable Oahu trail.
No trip to Coral Crater Adventure Park is complete without experiencing its signature highlight: the Adventure Tower. This remarkable structure is equal parts tree house, obstacle course, climbing wall, and ninja-training facility. Adventure Tower’s centerpiece is an aerial challenge course that tests your climbing, swinging, and jumping ability—all while fifty-some feet above the ground!
Every single one of the top activities found at Coral Crater Adventure Park—ziplining, ATV/off-roading, the aerial challenge course, and the Adventure Tower—are available in an assortment of user-friendly tour packages. For instance, you can go on a tour that does three of the park’s ziplines, or opt for the signature Full Zipline Tour, which grants you access to all six ziplines. ATV outings can also be paired with zipline tours, and there are even special packages that provide you admission to Coral Crater Adventure Park as well as roundtrip transportation to and from your Waikiki hotel.
Another perk of the Coral Crater Adventure Park experience is that the attraction is known to regularly host a number of popular local food trucks in its parking lot, ensuring you’ll have quick and easy access to something tasty after you’ve worked up quite the appetite from all your adventuring. A small gift shop also sells souvenirs, snacks, and beverages.
Tips for Visiting
*Given the nature of the obstacle courses on offer at Coral Crater Adventure Park, there are several basic criteria to know about when considering a visit. All participants must be at least six years old and weigh somewhere between 40 and 275 pounds; also, you must be taller than 4’6” to go on the Adventure Tower alone (otherwise you must be accompanied by an adult). All guests will be weighed during their check-in at the attraction.
*When in doubt, make a reservation to visit Coral Crater Adventure Park in advance. The attraction cannot guarantee same-day walk-ups will be able to participate in their desired activities. When arriving for your Coral Crater Adventure Park reservation, be sure and show up 15 minutes before your tour is scheduled to start, as the check-in process will take a few minutes.
*You’ll want to wear closed-toe shoes during your time here. Likewise, if you’re planning on enjoying an ATV ride as part of your experience, Coral Crater Adventure Park recommends you bring along towels, ponchos, and a change of clothes, as off-roading makes for a fun but messy time.
*If you want to bring along the aforementioned extra clothes and towels, there are lockers available for rent at Coral Crater Adventure Park where you can store your extra gear while you enjoy the attraction’s many charms. These lockers cost five dollars, and can be procured at the park’s front desk when you check in.
*If you enjoy your Coral Crater Adventure Park tour—or any of the other services provided by their staff—it is customary to tip your guide. Usually, this gratuity runs between 10% to 15%. A variety of payment methods are accepted.
