Soar over 14 waterfalls on 2 miles of spectacular ziplines at The Umauma Experience — widely regarded as the best zipline tour in all of the Hawaiian Islands. This 9-line course features four dual lines (ride side-by-side with a partner), a 200-foot suspension bridge crossing 100 feet above a river gorge with a water-filled lava tube and fern grotto, and jaw-dropping views of Mauna Kea and the ocean.
Highlights include Line #2 with views of a hidden 100-foot waterfall that most Big Island residents have never seen, Line #4 sending you over 2,000 feet of river and multiple cascades, and Line #7 delivering a close-up view of the famous dual-tier Umauma Falls from a private shelter accessible only to zipline guests. Line #9 zips you back to the Visitor Center to finish the adventure.
