Rappelling Umauma falls was the highlight of my vacation! if you're on big-island an want an epic adventure, do this!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rappelling at Umauma Falls was hands-down one of the most unforgettable experiences I’ve ever had in Hawaiʻi. From the moment we arrived, the views were unreal—lush jungle, powerful waterfalls, and that instant wow feeling you can’t capture in photos. The guides were incredible: professional, calm, and genuinely fun. They made sure everyone felt safe and confident every step of the way, whether it was your first time or you’re a total adrenaline junkie. Their energy alone made the experience even better. Descending alongside a roaring waterfall, feeling the mist on your face, and looking out over the valley is something I’ll never forget. It was the perfect mix of adventure and natural beauty. If you’re on the Big Island and looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, this is it. I would 100% do it again and recommend it to anyone—locals and visitors alike. Book it. You won’t regret it.

I had so much fun on my solo rappel! 10/10 highly recommend!

Eric and Andrew were amazing guides! I had so much fun rappelling! I was solo and joined a group with one other couple. The guides made me feel really safe, especially as I learned more about their experiences canyoneering in the past! I think this is a great activity to do alone, but it would be even more fun with your family and friends! I highly recommend this activity!

Preston and Michael were excellent guides! We felt very safe and made some incredible memories!

If your are lucky enough to have Preston and Michael be your guides then you will be blessed with the friendliest and most capable guides you could ask for. Both have experience in the outdoors that goes beyond just canyoning. They keep you safe while making sure that you have moments to remember. They were incredibly helpful at helping us to record those memories The route itself was challenging but doable for a beginner (me). The water was clear and beautiful and I could’ve stayed around to play in the pools all day.

Best Rappelling Experience in Hawaii

Fantastic experience rappelling! Guides Eric and Leilani were awesome! Both were really professional and fun. They made sure you were safe but not overbearing. Eric definitely has enough experience to gauge others experience and provide the appropriate guidance. If you’re looking for some excitement in the Hilo area, I highly recommend this company!

Amazing experience

We had a phenomenal experience with Preston and Kendall as our guides! 5/5 for sure! We had teens from 18-12 years old and were a family of 6 total. Preston and Kendall were amazing and made sure we felt safe yet challenged us as we rappelled and swam through the waterfalls. The experience lasted 4 hours but we didn’t even think about the time as it was so peaceful yet challenging.

Such a rad experience! Eric and his crew were absolutely incredible! Super knowledgeable, kind and great vibes all around.
