    • Q:

      Are there lockers to store our personal belongings? Or is a Fanny pack recommended?

      A:

      You just leave your stuff in your car, lock it and you leave your key in a basket with them. You could bring a fanny pack. There is a snack and water break halfway with bathrooms. They give you a poncho in case of rain. It was a lot of fun!

      This place was cool, while the island does have several zip lining companies, this one was good. I Liked going over water falls and such, my only down part was that unlike other companies on the island you zip line thru a cattle ranch and not in the trees! But you do have the falls. Can't fault them for it thou the staff is great and they let you have a good time!

      We came to Umauma today for the zip line tour. What an amazing experience. Highlight for us was our 5 year old was able to do this one compared to other island zip lines which had an age minimum of 12. It's a bit intense for littler kids but if you have an adventurous youngster this will be a Core Memory hands down. Our three main guides today, Rusty, Kypp, and Kaaesen too great care of us and made sure everyone was safe. Make sure to watch when they do their tricks.

      This place is amazing rain or shine, even if your staying on the Kona side you owe it to yourself to make the trip, you won't regret it.

      Our party of 6 did the zip line experience. The guides were friendly, informative, and made us feel comfortable as this was a first for some in our group. Skippy was kind enough to set aside some freshly picked oranges for us, but someone from another group stole them. It's the thought that counts!

      10/10 recommend. This is an absolute must if you're visiting Hawaii.

      Highly recommend! The venue for the umauma zip line experience was beautiful. This was the best zip line experience that I've had so far - zipping through 3 waterfalls - absolutely gorgeous and breathtaking. I thought I would be scared but the guides were so funny, friendly, informative, and made us all feel comfortable.

      "That was so much FUN!!!!" Were the words text to me by my (young adult) children after they rode the ATV's at Umauma. The rain made the day so much and the track so muddy, slippery and fun. They said the staff was great and enjoyed the other family who was with them! They all said without a doubt they want to do it again! We will be back. Thanks for a great day! The Castro/ Barnard/ and Pallais Families!!!

      What a great experience. This was our first time ziplining today and everyone there were great and make this experience so easy and very smoothly.

      It was a blast. The views were amazing at each of the stops. We did a total of 9 lines. We liked the zipline #4 the most, the longest with a great view.

      First we took a guide van to the 1st zip line then we ended at the entrance with the last zipline #9. A wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend and would do it again.

      We ended up to be the only tour booked at 11am for this day and it turned out to be exactly what we needed! The terrain was amazing and so was our tour guide! Beautiful waterfalls !! This is a must ATV tour for sure on the big island ! Very proud vet at $635 for 3 adults and an hour ATV adventure but hey it turned out to be so wonderful!

      What an absolute waste of time and money
      This is NOT a 90-minute ATV ride.... We did 25 minutes and NO WATERFALL stop.
      We got an hour early (as asked), we left on time, then we made a stop at a random location. When we asked if that was the waterfall stop, they said no and that we didn't have time for the waterfall. Somehow we had enough time to get back 25 minutes early??
      When we brought it up with the staff they just didn't give a crap to be honest
