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!
Outdoor Adventures
Zipline Adventures
One of the most popular things to do on the Big Island is a Zipline adventure. The Island of Hawaii has the best zipline tours! Soar over towering waterfalls and through tropical rainforests. Zipline Eco-Adventure is the most exhilarating way to explore hidden treasures while enjoying exclusive access to otherwise unreachable locations, you can even add a waterfall swim to your tour. Ziplining is safe, fun, and requires no prior experience making it a great outdoor activity for everyone.
ATV & Off-Road Tours
Big Island ATV tours are the best way to explore Hawaii’s rugged terrain! Take the trail less traveled on an exhilarating off-roading adventure. Explore hidden secret spots along Kohala and Hamakua Coast, venture down dirt trails, and swim at exclusive waterfalls. Hawaii ATV rides are one of the most popular things to do on Big Island and are a great outdoor adventure for the whole family.
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!
Stargazing Tours
If you enjoy looking at the stars, a visit to the Big Island is not complete without stargazing at Mauna Kea through a powerful telescope. Stargazing is one of the top things to do on the Big Island and it should be on everyone’s Hawaii bucket list. Big Island is home to some of the best stargazing conditions in the world. The elevation and isolated location in the middle of the Pacific Ocean allow you to see the starry night sky more clearly than you have ever seen.
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.
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!
