Maui Zipline and Rappelling Adventures
If you’ve ever thought about jumping off a cliff and zooming along a cable cord to the bottom, then Maui is it for you. Quickly becoming one of the most popular destinations for zipline and rappelling adventures, you can soar through deep gulches or along the side of a waterfall and pretend you’re Evil Kneivel for a day.
Skyline Eco-Adventures was the first zipline tour company to operate in the United States. Establishing five ziplines on Haleakala Ranch in 2002 and recently having opened a new site above Ka’anapali with eight new ziplines, this is the best company to seek that thrilling, death-defying zipline flight. Everything about your ride will be safe and secure. You’ll be fitted to a custom seat harness and walked through a brief safety course before stepping into thin air. To get to Skyline Eco-Adventures in Haleakala, take Highway 37 to Highway 377, turn left onto Crater Road (Hwy 378) and drive three miles to the white and red building on your left. The Ka’anapali tour meets you at Skyline’s retail show in the Fairway shops in Ka’anapali. Or, call Skyline at (808) 878-8400.
Maui Canyon Adventures makes it possible to rappel twice down a forty-foot cliff in a dry section of Makamakaole Valley and then rappel twice down a sixty-foot cliff to the forest floor, at which point you will have an opportunity to swim in pools and waterfalls. You will have the unique opportunity to take in several distinct sights: Hawaii’s volcanic terrain, wet and dry canyons, and breathtaking waterfalls. www.hikemaui.com; #1-866-324-MAUI.
