Review
We had a great time the zip lining was fun so was the dip portion the kids loved it especially the kayaking and paddle boards
via Viator
Zip line was fun but a bit short
Zip line was really fun, it was a bit short, each line would take like 20 seconds… wish they were longer. The swim portion was whatever… you get to paddle around in a small pool formed by a small waterfall. Also you have to show up 45min before your tour, they leave 15min before your tour time. They didn’t tell us until 1.5 hours before our tour and we were already driving from Kona. They should have just put the start time as 45min prior instead of setting a time and then say 45min before in the last min.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you had fun on the zipline, although we’re sorry the experience felt shorter than you expected. At the time of your visit, we were operating 7 of our 9 zipline courses due to damage to Lines 1 and 2 caused by Hurricane Lala. We are actively working toward restoring those lines so that we can return to our full 9-line experience. We understand that having fewer lines can impact the overall experience, and we appreciate your understanding while we make those repairs. Regarding the 45-minute arrival time, we ask guests to check in early because our property is located along a one-lane highway where traffic and unexpected delays can occur. Arriving early gives our team time to get everyone checked in and ready so we can keep the day’s tours running on schedule. When all guests are checked in and ready ahead of time, we may depart early rather than have the entire group wait for the scheduled departure time. That said, we understand your frustration with receiving the reminder about the early arrival while you were already traveling from Kona. We are reviewing how we communicate this requirement to guests to make sure the information is provided as clearly and as early as possible. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have all nine ziplines operating again soon. Mahalo for choosing Umauma Falls & ZipLine Experience.

Big Island 9-Line Zipline Experience Plus Private Waterfall Swim: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Big Island of Hawaii.
How much does Big Island 9-Line Zipline Experience Plus Private Waterfall Swim cost?
+
Prices start at $347 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Big Island of Hawaii usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Big Island 9-Line Zipline Experience Plus Private Waterfall Swim take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Big Island of Hawaii is not rushed.
Is Big Island 9-Line Zipline Experience Plus Private Waterfall Swim worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 186 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Big Island of Hawaii, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Big Island 9-Line Zipline Experience Plus Private Waterfall Swim?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Big Island 9-Line Zipline Experience Plus Private Waterfall Swim suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Big Island 9-Line Zipline Experience Plus Private Waterfall Swim?
+
Around 65 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Big Island of Hawaii can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Big Island of Hawaii and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Big Island 9-Line Zipline Experience Plus Private Waterfall Swim start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Big Island of Hawaii within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Big Island of Hawaii?
+
The Big Island is volcano country: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park tours, Mauna Kea summit stargazing, night manta ray snorkels off Kona, Waipio Valley lookouts and coffee farm visits. Summit tours have real altitude rules, so we weight safety detail. On Outty we rank every Big Island of Hawaii experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Big Island: Captain Cook Snorkel On A Power Catamaran With Lunch, KONA Manta Ray Night Snorkel - FREE re-ride if no Sightings, Big Island in a Day: Volcanoes Waterfalls Sightseeing and History. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Big Island of Hawaii?
+
April to October, though the island runs year round. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Big Island of Hawaii?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Big Island 9-Line Zipline Experience Plus Private Waterfall Swim?
+
