The Grand Circle Island tour is a great way to have a compact adventure all in one day. It was full of beautiful scenic views of cliffsides, beaches, cooled lava formations, waterfalls, volanic crater, and so much more. You experience a hike through a rainforest with some inclines at times, volcanic steam vents that feel like you're in a sauna, turtle viewing at Black Sand beach, cliffsides overlooking crashing waves, a coffee harvesting & processing walkthrough, a lava tube cave, and much more. Some hikes can be a bit challenging if you have mobility problems but our tour guide Brent is so accommodating and on the HNP Kilauea hike, you can ride along with him to the top of the viewing area if you're not able to do the short walk. Additionally, Brent is not just a tour guide, he will transport you to another time. He wove an amazing storytelling of Native Hawaiin history into the scenic mountains, beaches, historical battleground sites, trees, buildings, fantastical stories, and rich cultural backdrop. I walked away with a deep appreciation for how the Hawaiian island and culture came to be. This was an amazing way to experience the island!

The AT tour was an amazing experience. Our 6 year old had the time of her life. We rode in the 4x4 and we're more protected from mud than the others. We still got a little muddy but it was just enough to be fun.
The waterfall was a great experience. The water was very, very cold. It was nice to wash off and enjoy a snack before heading back.
The weather was cool and wet during our trip. We wore pants and didn't get hot.
I highly recommend the ATV experience. It is a great family adventure. If you need the 4x4, I recommend reserving early as availability is limited.

This tour was fun. Stupid fun. Like crazy, muddy, stupid fun! 10 out of 10 would recommend. We had a beautiful day with juuust enough rain to keep the mud nice and soft and sticky with a few big, slick puddles to splash through. Can't recommend this experience enough!
Bring clothing you don't mind getting dirty. Really, really dirty. And wet. You get the opportunity to hike down to a gorgeous, waterfall-fed pool for some swimming.
The guides were friendly and fun and we had a blast. The property is stunning and there are showers available for after the ride; bring a change of dry, clean clothes!

The atv was basically a track on a large piece of property- nice view but guess we had expected a ride to woods to a waterfall. The waterfall view is best from the gift shop but it was fun to swim in their river. Didn’t feel like we were really out in nature.
My husband wanted to go faster on the atv- but it was fine for me as a newbie and more cautious person. The guides were very nice. It was overall ok- but very pricey for the experience we thought.

You need to check this out if you are not an experienced ATV rider, the tour guides are very patient and chill.
You will arrive to a beautiful area, check in, bet your gear and go over a few house rules. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO USE THE PROVIDED GOOGLES (not your sunglasses)! The road gets pretty dirt heavy and become difficult to see.
It's a short ride but they take you to a small water hole where you are given the opportunity to jump off the rock and into the water and afterwards a drive back.
Wear something that you can get dirty, do not wear white and do not bring items you do not want to get dirty. The dirt is like a clay color and sticks.
Our tours guides were great ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hey Stepheee,
Thanks for the review and great advise for future guests. Glad you had a great time!

My hubby and I wanted to try this ATV experience since we enjoyed a similar one on Kauai the previous year and it did not disappoint!
Going through the trails and seeing the sites were completely beautiful. The private little waterfall/lagoon was also refreshing after being covered with the dust from the trail.
The one thing I would have liked is a bandana to cover the lower half of my face because the dust got all up in every crevice.
Hi Ann,
Thank you for your 5-Star review and your comment. We did sell bandannas at one point but I guess we sold out. We'll get on it! Thank you!

A great time at Umauma Falls Zipline Tour & Waterfall Swim Adventure / 9 Zipline Tour.
Although it rained, it was a great time with my visiting friends. Our group had about seven total members, and we all felt included and enjoyed the adventure together. When the weather turned into rain, and the wind made the rain even more interesting... We all decided to make the most of it and enjoy the unique experience. Our Guides were friendly, informative, and humorous. They take safety seriously but they take the time to make sure you are having fun while being safe. Safety tip... "Keep your head and face to one side of the tether, or you'll get a knuckle sandwich." We will return on a sunny day to enjoy the waterfalls, but it was a great time for all, and the guides made it extra memorable.
Hi Jonathan,
Thank you for your 5-Star review. Glad you had a great time. I appreciate your comments about our guides too. We have great guides and they do a great job. Mahalo.

First timers will experience an exhilaration rush of amazing views. Even if you are afraid of heights don’t be, the crew are professional experts to ease your worries. They know what they are doing (with a flare of joking) to take your nerves from reminding you you’re going to be hundred of feet up in the air. It’s worth it! You’ll appreciate the picturesque palm trees, streams and lastly the huge waterfall. This took my breath away but in a good way. Bring your camera for all the unforgettable shot. What you show all your social media friends and family will surely make them jealous. Love the experience highly recommended!

My family did this experience. It’s quite a drive to get to this place. I did this with my husband and 2 kids (ages 12 & 9). The tour guides were really friendly and informative. They chose our horses for us based on weight and experience. The horses know where they’re going so there’s little for the rider to do. The waterfall was very cold, deep, and there’s quite a current! Be prepared if you want to swim (we did!). They have kayaks and paddle boards if you prefer not to swim. My kids loved this experience and have been asking for horseback lessons since we got back. Bring a long sleeve shirt or light jacket just in case- we were chilly!
Mahalo for sharing your experience. We appreciate your positive experience with us. Please come again next time you visit the island. A hui hou! Wailea Horseback adventure
