The Ultimate Waterfall Experience

Chase the Big Island's most spectacular waterfalls on this private 8-hour adventure through the lush rainforests of the Hilo Coast. From towering cascades to secret swimming holes, this is the ultimate waterfall tour — and you might want to bring your bathing suit.

Begin at Wailuku River State Park for Rainbow Falls and Boiling Pots, then visit the exclusive Kulaniapia Falls — a stunning 120-foot private waterfall on a 42-acre eco-property. Weather permitting, swim in the protected pool beneath the falls, or rent kayaks and stand-up paddle boards. Only a limited number of guests can visit each day, making this a truly special experience.

Enjoy an included lunch at a local Hilo restaurant, then cruise the scenic Onomea coastal route before hiking Akaka Falls State Park to see the magnificent 442-foot Akaka Falls. Continue up the beautiful Hamakua Coast Heritage Corridor to the Waipio Valley Lookout, then pass through the paniolo town of Waimea before returning to your lodging.

Optional add-ons at Kulaniapia Falls include waterfall rappelling (120-foot descent beside the falls) and a farm-to-table cooking class. Everything is included — park fees, lunch, snacks, beverages, Patagonia rain gear, binoculars, hiking poles, and 20-25 professionally edited photos. Private Mercedes van for up to 7 guests.
