This was such an amazing experience that I hardly know where to begin.
I can't say enough about Jen, who was our guide. From the moment we met her at 7:30 am (she was early to pick up near our residence) until she dropped us back home ~12 hours later, she made the trip such a positive experience. She was very personable and easy for my husband and I to chat with us as we made the ~1.5 hr drive to pick up the rest of the passengers in Hilo.
She was constantly pointing out areas of interest and sharing background information and context so that we could fully appreciate the sights of the Volcano park.
The 3 mile hike was great, and it was so interesting to spend time on the caldera floor, although I will admit that the trek back up truly tested my stamina!
All in all, an amazing day!

This was an amazing experience taking us deep into the Waipio Valley. This shuttle is almost the only way to explore the Waipio Valley, which is something NOT to be missed in touring the Big Island of Hawaii.
Our driver (unfortunately forgot his name; were on the 1st morning tour on 5/9/24) was extremely proficient in navigating the exceedingly steep terrain and making us feel safe and calm. He pointed out areas of interest, and made frequent stops for us to get out of the van and take pictures.
We highly recommend this tour!

食べながら見るという感じですが食べ物、飲み物の種類と量もちょうど良い感じです。
Alii Seatだと優先的に入れてブッフェも先に取れるし飲み物もテーブル担当の方が直ぐに聞いて持って来てくれます。
ショーは派手さはないですけど飲み食いしながら気楽に楽しめる感じです。

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!

We attended the 9pm experience and it was absolutely worth every cent as well as the late hour. We were completely surrounded by manta rays, there were at least a dozen feeding within inches of the group. There were bottlenose dolphin hunting at the edges of the lighted area and we were even visited by a small shark. Everything a Hawaiian night snorkel should be!
The guides were professional and knowledgeable and truly provided an outstanding experience.
I would recommend a light jacket for the 20 minute boat ride to and from the dive sight if you get cold easily. I was in swim trunks and a long sleeve rash guard and I was fine, but my wife was a bit chilly on the trip back.
We would 100% do this experience again!

We were impressed by the tour guides knowledge of the Valley and the breathtaking beauty of an unspoiled and barely populated part of the island. We saw wild Mustangs, countless birds, streams and experienced seeing the valley upclose. Just seeing the valley from a lookout point doesn’t compare to going down into the valley. Don’t miss out on this shuttle experience, it will leave you impressed!

If you are planning this ahead of time, grab a warm hat. It gets cold and misty and very windy. But they do have extra jackets and cowboy hats and even boots to use for the ride.

時期的にあちこちで出現しますので、船の全方向で見ることが出来ました。
途中、マイクを海中に沈め、クジラの鳴き声も聞かせてくれます。
子鯨が頻繁にジャンプしますので、大体あの辺にいそう、というのを見極めてスタンバイしてるとジャンプなど見れます
ただ、安全のため一定の距離は取っているので比較的遠くでしか見ることはできません
望遠鏡などあると良いと思います。私は10倍のものですが、持参してよく見ることが出来ました。
船の乗船は砂浜から小さなボートにのり、少し沖にある船に乗り換えます。
ビーサン、裸足がオススメです。
船ではドリンク(缶ジュースか、マイタイ)、スナック(チップス)がもらえます。
船上は日除無いので日焼け対策はしっかりしましょう。
船内もそんなに広く無いので荷物は最小限にした方がいいです。

Wow! Not only did we get to see the scenery as advertised, but it was also way more beautiful in real life than in the pictures. And not having been on an ATV before, it was very fun and exciting. We were taken on a pretty high-speed adventure right up the slopes of Mauna Kea. Seems like we gained about 1500 feet though it was hard to tell for sure. In addition to the views, we say a few tame cows and a heard of wild pigs! Our shuttle driver and tour guides, Isaiah, Jericho, Sam and Henry were really helpful, and Jericho was especially entertaining! They were all full of knowledge of the ancient Hawaiians that first landed on the Big Island, and had great stories about their heritage, and also Jericho had a great since of humor. He had us laughing the whole time! We would definitely take a trip with them again some time!

Our guide for the tour was Grover. What a wonderful, knowledgeable kind man.
Volcano National Park is beautiful and lush with an abundance of plant life. Stunning scenery of the volcano and caldera.
Learnt so much about volcanoes, how they have formed, how they behave with earth tremors/quakes, eruptions and the that island continues to grow because of them.
Grover spoiled us by taking us to a couple unplanned locations such as the Lava Tubes, Rainbow Falls and Steam Vents
Highly recommend this tour and especially if you’re lucky enough to have Grover as your tour guide.

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.

Our guide, who was born & raised in the valley and still lives there, was amazing. We learned a lot about the day-to-day lives and history of the people in the valley. He was so friendly, welcoming & willing to answer any and all questions. He pointed out local birds & stopped to grab & show us a chameleon from a tree & paused again when a group of wild horses joined on the road. Also, the parking & check-in process were super easy plus the shop had bathrooms, several cute gift options and snacks/coffee available for purchase.

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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.
