Waterfall Rappelling

Waterfall Rappelling at Kulaniapia Falls puts participants on a sheer rock face alongside a large waterfall outside Hilo, descending on a rope while spray and the sound of rushing water surround them. The meeting point is the Inn at Kulaniapia Falls, reached by a short drive from downtown Hilo through farmland and into jungle scenery.

The activity is rated easy and swimming is not required, making it a practical choice for families and complete beginners who want a hands-on outdoor experience without prior rappelling background. Participants may get wet during the descent.

After returning gear, the property's bamboo gardens and hiking trails are open to explore at no extra obligation. Those who want to extend the trip can book a room at the Inn at Kulaniapia Falls on-site. Bring swimwear and a towel. The tour runs rain or shine, so guests should expect to go regardless of light rain on the day.
