About this tour
This guided canyoneering experience follows the Umauma River on the Big Island, descending multiple waterfalls and swimming from pool to pool between rappel points. Island Mountain Guides leads participants through rappels, downriver swimming, and a jungle climb exit to complete the canyon route. The tour is rated moderate in difficulty and is beginner-accessible, though it is physically demanding.
The experience begins at the Island Mountain Guides Umauma Falls location, next to the horses across the parking lot from the Umauma visitor center, where outfitting and a pre-tour briefing take place. No hotel pickup is available, so participants arrange their own transportation to the meeting point. All rappelling equipment, shoes, a helmet, a harness, and a flotation device are provided. Meals are not included.
Swimming ability is required to participate. Children under the age shown on the booking page must be accompanied by an adult, and there are weight requirements listed on the page as well. Participants are advised to wear quick-dry athletic clothing such as a lightweight long-sleeve rashguard and board shorts rather than a small swimsuit.
