Customer Reviews
Sets the bar for future zipline experiences
Loved that kids could ride the lines solo rather than tandem with a guide, plus the option to go hands-free and upside down.
An unforgettable birthday adventure at Umauma Falls
We had an amazing time ziplining at Umauma Falls! Our party of five came to celebrate my daughter’s 12th birthday, for the second year in a row at the same ziplining experience, and it turned into such a fun and memorable adventure. The scenery and waterfalls were breathtaking, and the experience felt safe and exciting. A perfect way to celebrate a special day in Hawaii. Highly recommend!
