A total blast - Delightful. Do it, and get a room for the night. The staff are knowledgeable, reassuring, and they’ll give you the confidence to experience something unforgettable.

Fun experience! - Wonderful experience, both guides were very informative and easy to talk to make a somewhat nerve wracking situation easy!

FANTASTIC - Beautiful scenery, incredible guides, was definitely terrified at first but nothing to worry about! If you’re on vacation you have to add this to your to do list!

Wonderful time! - The views and trails were amazing. Had a great time with our Rappelling guides Jess and Jeremy who really took care of us. It was an amazing and exciting experience. Thank you!

The BEST thing to do in Hilo!! - We did a LOT in our time in Hilo and the surrounding area, but this was by far my absolute favorite experience!! The views are to die for and the rappelling is such a unique experience that you’re not going to get just everyday. Neither of us had any experience at all, but the guides really took their time to explain everything and I practically felt like a pro by the time I hit the bottom (although I’m sure I didn’t look it 😂). Jess and Drew were knowledgeable, super nice, and just overall really fantastic!! I can’t say enough good things about them or the experience itself. 10/10 would highly recommend and do again!!

Unique experience! - This was a one-and-done for us, as we found it too expensive for what you got. Lunch could have been included. The guides were great.

Once in a lifetime - Amazing experience, once in a life time! Eric and team are great. Would highly recommend! You can swim in the waterfall after you repel.

Great new experience! - We got lucky and had a private tour as only the two of us had signed up for the afternoon. Our guides, Zach and Jess were friendly and welcoming. They always made us feel safe and secure. They showed us the "ropes" and we had a little practice rappel before getting to the actual waterfall. Neither of us had ever been rappelling before so we had some apprehension. It was challenging and fun - and we both got the hang of it. What a cool experience! They provided the necessary equipment - felt boots, harness. I went dressed in my bathing suit - but you could have just worn active clothes and, honestly, wearing longer shorts or pants might have been better (I didn't have any chafing, but the harness does come across your legs, so I think it could happen). I wish we had remembered our go pro!

Unique experience - The place this activity is located at is incredibly beautiful and really unique - wish we would have stayed there longer! The activity itself was fun. You can tell the guides are very passionate about rappelling. There was a lot more standing around and waiting than we anticipated but the perspective of looking up at and being next to the waterfall was really unique and fun. We all had a good time and enjoyed it (adults and teenagers)!

Very unique experience. Great location and guides. Steep price. - We did the Waterfall Rappelling in Dec 2023. -Location: The location is majestic. "The Inn at Kulaniapia Falls" has 4 waterfalls, a beautiful hike, tonnes of greenery, antique-looking statues on the hike, a perfect setting for meditation, ponds to swim in under the waterfalls, standup paddle boarding options, etc. You can easily spend 4 hours here. -Waterfall Rappelling: A very unique experience. You are right next to the 120-130ft waterfall that is flowing down in all its glory. This only takes about 10 mins. -Guides: Our guides (Jess and Jeremy) were very knowledgeable and capable. They made the experience very safe for us - they first had us all do a short rappel to give us guidance before setting us up for the main rappel. -Cost: The cost, $279 per person (PLUS tip per guide), is very steep. The whole experience - hike to the waterfall, practice rappel, waterfall rappel, and hike back takes about 2.5 hours. The actual waterfall rappel though only lasts for about 10 minutes.
