Must visit while on the Big Island! - Amazing views & great hosts! The falls make for great pictures and you can even get in to the water. Lenny the dog was super friendly too!

Total tranquility with amazing view. - Because of the limited number of visitors you are able to enjoy in all rest of the pure nature and the waterfall. And if the weather and the current permits, you can even swim and float at the waterfall.
All participated with super friendly staff. Do bring you own drinks and food because there is only a water filling station

GORGEOUS! Must Visit - This is an excellent property with private waterfalls and lodging. We got a day pass to swim in the waterfall. Bring your food and stuff if you opt for a day pass. The farm is gorgoeus and they offer dinner services if booked ahead of time. Its a fantastic drive to the farm from Hilo. The check-in was super smooth and the managers on site were helpful. I'll go back to stay a few nights here.

Do this! - Gorgeous. The garden walk and waterfall swim are the highlight of our vacation so far. You can't go wrong at anytime of the day, but we arrived on the early entry and I highly recommend that. The morning light is magical and it is less likely to rain in the morning.

Stunning waterfall and grounds! Definitely recommend to skip the crowds. - This place was absolutely stunning and very private. We only saw one other small group of people which is wonderful for enjoying the waterfall. We kayak around and explored the grounds and had a wonderful day. Would absolutely recommend this place!

KULANIAPIA FALLS JAN 2024 - We loved it very much, we had an amazing time. However, we only spent 2.5hrs there. We did notice the equipment needs to be improved, only one paddleboard had all the skegs intact. Staff was very welcoming and polite.
