Ziplining in Hawaii: 9 lines plus waterfall swim

Nine ziplines, a waterfall swim, and lunch in one morning

Zip across nine lines suspended over a tropical garden and the Umauma River, then cool off with a swim and kayak session in the private waterfall pond below. The four-hour experience includes a professional guide, picnic lunch, and all gear. You choose whether to zipline, paddleboard, kayak or just float in the water at the end.

Step-by-step itinerary

Zipline and Waterfall Swim Experience

• Start 9-Line zipline tour at 10am

The experience

The day starts with the 10am zipline tour. You'll clip into the harness and launch across nine lines that carry you over the Umauma River and the canopy below: each one a different angle and speed. The guide handles the setup and the safety briefing. Closed-toe shoes are the only thing you bring. Between lines there's time to catch your breath and look at where you just flew from. The whole zipline section takes up the first part of the morning.

At noon you move to the private waterfall pond along the Umauma River. This is where the day shifts from adrenaline to float. You can swim in the pool beneath the falls, kayak out into the deeper water, or stand-up paddleboard if you want to stay dry a little longer. Some people just lay in the sun on the bank. The guide is there, but the pace is yours. Lunch, a picnic spread, arrives while you're in or near the water, so you eat when you're ready to stop moving.

The whole thing runs four hours from start to finish. You'll need to be at least four years old to zipline, and there are weight limits (35 to 275 pounds) that apply to the lines themselves. If the weather turns, you can reschedule or get your money back. Infants can ride on an adult's lap during the waterfall portion, and kids must have an adult with them the whole time. If someone in your group doesn't want to zipline, they can come along to the waterfall and garden for free as long as two or more people are paying to zip.

Is this one for you?The 10am start and included lunch mean you don't need to arrange transport to a separate restaurant or coordinate timing with other activities. The whole half-day is built into one location, so if you're staying elsewhere on the island or without a car, you just show up at the park and the day unfolds.

Top questions

What's the minimum age to zipline in Hawaii at Umauma Falls?

You must be at least four years old to zipline. Infants can join the waterfall swim portion by sitting on an adult's lap, and children of any age can visit the park's garden and waterfall area free of charge if they're with two or more paying zippers.

Do I need to bring my own shoes, or are they provided?

You need to wear closed-toe shoes of your own: the operator doesn't provide them. Make sure they're secure and comfortable, since you'll be wearing them through the zipline course and around the waterfall area.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my zipline?

If poor weather makes ziplining unsafe, you can choose an alternative tour date or receive a full refund. The waterfall area may still be accessible depending on conditions.

Is the waterfall swim included, or do I pay extra?

The waterfall swim, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding are all included in the four-hour experience. Lunch is also included, so there are no add-on fees for any of those activities.

What's the weight range for ziplining?

Ziplining requires a minimum of 35 pounds and a maximum of 275 pounds. If you're outside that range, you can still join the group for the waterfall swim, kayaking and paddleboarding portions.

How long does the whole experience take?

The full Zip-N-Dip experience runs four hours, starting with the 10am zipline tour and moving into the waterfall swim and water activities at noon, with lunch included throughout.
