Zipline over Waterfalls in Hawaii

Location: Hilo, Big Island

Tour Highlights

Race above rushing waterfalls, river gorges, and rainforest valleys on nine exhilarating ziplines, building speed and confidence until you're soaring high above the iconic cascades of Umauma Falls.

  • Zip across nine longlines spanning two miles of terrain
  • Soar above 14 waterfalls along the Umauma River
  • Reach speeds up to 65 mph over rainforest valleys
  • Cross a suspension bridge above a lava tube grotto
  • Enjoy sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and Mauna Kea

Quick Local Tip: Looking for the fastest ride? Ask your guides about the "cannonball" position before the longer ziplines. Staying compact helps reduce drag, and many guests are surprised by how much faster the lines feel when they're tucked in and flying over the waterfalls below.

What to Expect

After a safety briefing and gear fitting, you'll ease into the course with a series of long dual ziplines that quickly replace nervous anticipation with excitement. From the very first launch, sweeping views of waterfalls, lush rainforest, and the distant Pacific Ocean set the tone for what's ahead.

As the course unfolds, each line reveals a new perspective of the Umauma River and the dramatic landscape it has carved through the Hamakua Coast. You'll soar above cascading waterfalls, cross a suspension bridge suspended high over a lava tube and fern grotto, and pause at scenic overlooks where hidden waterfalls and distant views of Mauna Kea come into focus. With every platform, the scenery grows bigger and the rides become more memorable.

The final stretch delivers the tour's signature moments as you glide above the waterfalls that made Umauma famous. Long, fast lines carry you across river valleys and directly over rushing water, creating the sensation of flying through a landscape few visitors ever see from above. By the time you reach the final platform, you'll have crossed one of Hawaii's most scenic zipline courses, linking waterfalls, rainforest, ocean views, and adventure into a single unforgettable ride.
