The Waterfall Hiking Tour leads small groups across 300 acres of private agricultural land on Hawaii Island's Hamakua Coast, with sweeping ocean views and lush, jungle-green terrain the whole way. Along this 2.5-hour hike, guests visit three private waterfalls found only on this tour, including a hike to the dramatic 250-foot Kolekole Falls and a swim beneath a second cascading waterfall. Expert local guides share insight into native Hawaiian plants and island culture as the trail winds through fragrant fields and jungle. Because the land is privately held, this Waterfall Hiking Tour offers a crowd-free experience you won't find on public trails. Suited to all ages and most fitness levels, it's an easy way to reach hidden natural landscapes most visitors never see.
