Zip & Dip with The Umauma Experience
We found Umauma experience enthusiasts all over the Big Island and it’s easy to see why. Take a trip to the lush, green side of the island and spend the day zipping through the tree canopy, over waterfalls, and over rivers. End your day in the beautiful Umauma river. You’ll get out into nature while also getting an adrenaline rush.

Zip & Dip Tour Details
Double up on an incredible and memorable adventure with the best of both Umauma Falls worlds. Begin by zipping through the air with a 9-line Zipline Tour, followed by an hour-long play in the falls —swimming, kayaking and jumping down the falls into the frothy 70-foot deep pool or cool, clear water. The afternoon includes a catered lunch at their private pavilion adjacent to the falls, delivered by a utility zip-line. It’s a perfect getaway while on the Big Island!
