Private Waterfall and River Swim

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.

Available daily (weather permitting) from 12:00 to 1:15 PM. Depart at 11:45 AM from the Visitor Center and return by 1:30 PM. Check in 45 minutes prior to your tour time at 31-313 Old Mamalahoa Highway in Hakalau, along the scenic Hāmākua Coast between Hilo and Waipio Valley.

Ages 4 and up. Requires a minimum of 4 people to book. Great for couples seeking a romantic picnic and private waterfall swim, or families looking for a memorable afternoon. 48-hour cancellation policy. Tours may be cancelled due to thunder, lightning, or strong winds.
