About this tour
Swim, kayak, and relax at a private section of Umauma Falls on this 1.5-hour experience set in one of the Big Island's most beautiful tropical settings. The lush scenery here even served as the backdrop for an episode of ABC's The Bachelorette - and it's easy to see why.
Jump into the splashing falls, swim in the cool river waters, and paddle a kayak across the clear surface surrounded by towering tropical vegetation and cascading waterfalls. After your swim, enjoy a catered lunch served in a private pavilion adjacent to the falls - delivered by the property's utility zipline. Dine and relax surrounded by the natural splendor of the waterfall and gorgeous tropical setting.
