It’s not ziplining, it’s not rock climbing, it’s RAPPELLING!

This guided rappel tour departs from Da Life Outdoor Gear shop (next to Duke’s). A 10-minute van ride will take you to our scenic rappel training area overlooking the Hule’ia watershed and Ha’upu Mountain range. After a detailed rappel safety lesson, and a practice run on the dry wall, we’ll hike to secluded waterfalls. Our first rappel is the cascading 30’ Bamboo Falls, followed by the towering 60’ Papakolea Falls. Guaranteed to be the most unique experience of your vacation!
