Embark on an unforgettable adventure with our Big Island Waterfall Wonders Tour!
This tour takes you on a breathtaking journey, starting with a trek to the east side of the island on New Saddle Road. For the performance-minded, you can take Old Saddle Road, the rollercoaster of Big Island, where you'll climb to an altitude of 6,600 feet before dropping down into Hilo. Your first stop will be the magnificent Rainbow Falls, where you can witness the beauty of cascading water in all its glory. Continue your drive along the Old Mamalahoa Highway until you reach the awe-inspiring Akaka Falls, standing tall at 420 feet. Immerse yourself in the natural wonders of Umauma Falls, take a trip down to Laupahoehoe, experience the panoramic views at Waipio Lookout, indulge in delicious Malasadas at Ted's, and explore the charming shops in Waimae town.
But it's not just about the destinations; it's about the journey itself. Our Polaris Slingshot vehicles make the drive an exhilarating experience.

2.00GPS was horrible, 2 stops we couldn't do because of GPS issues. 1st stop can't do because it requires a 4 wheel drive vehicle so that wasted 35 minutes. Had to spend an additional $80 because no food, had to fill up gas tank & pay for admission to falls
Mother daughter fun day

5.00My daughter and I had so much fun riding around in this fun car! The roads are winding with beautiful water views on one side and mountains on the other. We were able to go at our own pace and stop wherever we wanted. We started at 1 and it was a cool ride back at night but we really enjoyed the day! If you are looking for a fun way to see the island I highly recommend a slingshot!!
