Itinerary
Your day begins with a scenic journey deep into the heart of Kipu Ranch, where private roads and trails lead far beyond the places most visitors experience. As you hike through tropical forests and open valleys, your guides share stories about the ranch's rich history, native plants, wildlife, and cultural significance.
The trail opens onto the Kīpū Treehouse, nestled beside a cascading waterfall and overlooking the Kīpū stream below. This historic treehouse is home to the original zipline course where Hawaii's first commercial zipline was introduced more than 20 years ago—a beautiful spot to pause and soak in the waterfall and valley views.
Continue to the legendary Kīpū Falls, now accessible again exclusively through private access on Kipu Ranch. Cool mountain water cascades into a natural swimming hole surrounded by volcanic rock and lush tropical greenery. Take time to swim, capture photos, or simply enjoy this rare opportunity to experience this iconic waterfall. Your 1.5-mile hike finishes with bottled water and Hanalima Bakery cookies to enjoy before returning.
