About this tour

Zip above a private waterfall on a Hilo Waterfall Zipline adventure designed with cruise ship guests in mind. With pickup from the Port of Hilo, you can head straight from shore to a course surrounded by tropical scenery.

Ride seven ziplines that gradually increase in length and height, finishing on a half-mile line high above the 250-foot Kolekole waterfall, just downstream from Akaka Falls. Along the way, look out over ocean views and fields of apple bananas, Hawaiian ginger, pineapples, and sugarcane. A course-certified guide leads the experience, and zipline gear and an air-conditioned vehicle are provided. The full tour lasts 270 minutes.

Hilo Waterfall Zipline offers a lively way to see the island’s landscapes from above, with private waterfalls visible from the property. Check the 40–260 lb weight requirement before booking, then reserve your spot for a memorable day in Hilo.
