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!
