Kulaniapia Falls

Peaceful beauty awaits those who explore Kulaniapia Falls, a gorgeous setting on private property near the Hilo side of the Big Island. This is the place to go if you want a truly immersive waterfall experience. The 42-acre property is home to a tranquil inn, and its off-grid, oceanview cabins were featured on Netflix’s “World’s Most Amazing Vacation Rentals.”

Booking a room or cabin is a great way to truly feel the magic of this serene place. But you don’t have to book a stay here in order to experience the falls. The property also offers day passes, which allow visitors to hike and swim among the waterfall. You can also book a rappelling adventure, Stand Up Paddle Board or Kayak under the falls, take a farm tour, or enjoy a chef’s dinner on the property.

We think it's one of the best waterfalls in Hilo!
