At the Bioreserve, the orchids overlooking the waterfall create a breathtaking scene. These delicate, vibrant flowers cling to the misty cliffs, thriving in the humid air and cool temperatures.
Kikala Falls is at the heart of the Bioreserve and provides great swimming experiences.
At the Mauna Kea Cloudforest Bioreserve, we believe you can never have enough sunflowers! Their cheerful, towering blooms add bursts of bright yellow across the garden, creating a joyful atmosphere.

Overview

What makes our tour unique is the rare opportunity to swim in stunning waterfalls set against the backdrop of a unique climate - a montane tropical cloudforest. The cool, misty climate allows both temperate and tropical plants to thrive side by side, creating a one-of-a-kind botanical experience. You'll explore a landscape where vibrant orchids, majestic palms, and towering conifers grow in harmony. The tour blends natural beauty, adventure, and education, culminating in a refreshing dip in our waterfall—a truly unforgettable Hawaiian experience.

A little planning. A lot of aloha.
