Umauma Falls & ZipLine Experience
Combine thrill and chill on Hawaii’s Big Island with the Zip N Dip Combo at Umauma Falls. Experience ziplining over waterfalls and cooling off in lush, natural pools for an adventure you won't forget.
Umauma Falls & ZipLine Experience operates in Hakalau, Hawaii, offering outdoor adventures centered on the dramatic Umauma Falls valley. The property highlights include multi-tier waterfalls, private river swim areas, and curated zipline tours that showcase the landscape. Experiences range from self-guided garden and waterfall walks to guided zipline tours, combo excursions, eBike cultural rides, ATV long tours, and private swim and lunch options. Several zipline products include a 9-line zipline tour that covers over two miles and passes 18 waterfalls, plus a suspension bridge roughly 200 feet long. A four-line zipline option provides shorter dual-line runs with ocean views and wildlife-spotting opportunities. Water-based options include private waterfall and river swims, kayaking, and shorter “Quick Dip” swim experiences; some picnic-style lunches are catered and delivered by zipline. The property has been featured on televised productions, including an appearance noted from The Bachelorette. Umauma’s activities accommodate families, couples, and small groups, with age-restricted options such as the ATV Long Tour available for guests 16 and older. Safety protocols, guided instruction, and curated routes tailor adventures to varying comfort levels. The operation combines outdoor recreation, cultural interpretation on eBike tours, and garden exploration, providing varied ways to experience the Big Island’s tropical scenery.
Catered lunches occur in a picturesque pavilion overlooking the falls, and the eBike Culture & Swim Tour includes interpretation about native plants and Hawaiian traditions along garden paths, adding cultural context to visits.
