When you close your eyes and dream of Hawaii, what do you see? For many people, the image of paradise comes in the form of a hidden waterfall cradled in a tropical rainforest. This splendor really does exist, and you can experience it on our 15-mile waterfall adventure!
Beginning the journey at about 250 feet above sea level and traveling to the 2500 foot elevation, you enter the rarified air of the oldest rainforest on the Big Island. We ride under canopies of trees, lanes of wild ginger patches, and cross several mountain streams. Some of the exotic plants found in our rainforest are not found anywhere else in world. We visit a beautiful waterfall, and short hike to the foot of the refreshing pond below.
It’s all completely private and exclusive. The experience offers a lot of riding and awesome scenery. You will take home images of paradise to treasure.
Ride from 250ft. at sea level to 2500 ft. through the oldest tropical Hawaiian rainforest. Enjoy a refreshment at the foot of a secluded private waterfall.
