Overall Rating

Hawaii Outdoor Adventures takes you traversing island terrain by hike, horse, bike, and ATV, flying through forest canopies by zipline and to tee up on a designer par-72 golf course. Explore your destination in many fun and unique ways and enjoy beautiful panoramas that follow wherever you go!

ATV & 4WD / Off-Road Tours

Where you're going, you won't need roads! Explore Waipio Valley, the Kohala Coast, and picturesque Paani Ranch as you zoom around on your own four-wheel-drive vehicle. These small, quick vehicles can get you to places over rough terrain that most cars can't pass, allowing you to explore even more of the Big Island's natural landscape or just zoom around at your own pleasure! Visit hidden waterfalls, secluded valleys, and volcanic craters on these exhilarating off-road tours.
Zipline Adventures

Soar over towering waterfalls, forest treetops, and botanical gardens on a Big Island zipline adventure! These spectacular tours on the east side showcase the beautiful, lush landscape of the east side, marked by valleys, waterfalls, and tropical forests, in the most exhilirating way. All zipline courses are professionally maintained and regularly inspected so as to meet the highest safety standards. Ziplining is safe, fun, and requires no prior experience!
Horseback Riding

The Big Island has been home to many different ranches over the past two centuries of the Hawaiian paniolo tradition. Tour these beautiful ranches with their gently sloping hills and lush greenery from atop your very own horse. Beginner riders welcome! Horseback riding is also one of the only ways to access the secluded Waipio Valley, where the entry roads are too steep for most vehicles. Explore the wild side of the Big Island like the cowboys of old!
Hiking

Many of the Big Island's hidden treasures can only be accessed on foot, so lace up your hiking boots and get ready for an adventure! Hike to hidden waterfalls, trek the volcano, or explore forest trails to watch native birds. Hiking is also the only way to navigate the lava rocks on the south shore, which will reward you with a close-up view of the molten lava as it pours into the ocean to cool and create new land. Perfect for nature lovers!
Waterfall Adventures

The arid, volcanic landscape of the west side of the Big Island exists in contrast to the lush, green eastern side, where waterfalls plunge off sea cliffs and flow through lush valleys. See famous waterfalls such as stunning Rainbow Falls, majestic Akaka, or towering Hiilawe. These waterfall tours are the best way for you to see the beauty of the Hilo side, whether you're exploring Waipio Valley, doing a nature walk, or flying to a secluded pool via helicopter.
Stargazing Tours

The Big Island is home to a large number of astronomical observatories due to its ideal conditions for star gazing. Mauna Kea's summit, located above the clouds, is the perfect vantage point from which to gaze at heavenly bodies and constellations. These tours take you to Mauna Kea and Saddle Road, remote locations with a clear view of the night sky, to gaze up at the stars with your naked eyes or with a powerful telescope.
