Skyline Eco-Adventures
Skyline Eco-Adventures was the first company to build a zipline tour in Hawaii. Founded in 2002 by a father and son with a love for the great outdoors, Skyline Eco-Adventures now offers this experience at two locations on Maui. One site is situated near Haleakala National Park along the slopes of a giant volcano, and the other is found just above the Ka'anapali Resort and the beautiful valleys of Mount Kahalawai. Skyline Eco-Adventures is committed to preserving the environment and recently converted its operations to be carbon neutral.

Kapalua Adventure Center
Situated on the slopes of West Maui Mountains, Kapalua Adventure Center offers the chance to ride down nearly two miles of zipline cable. There's also a short warm-up course along with other adventurous outdoor activities like high ropes, a climbing wall and a huge swing. You'll have to cross a suspension bridge to get to the center (which has been dubbed the "Mountain Outpost") and ride the Zipperlifter, a chairlift-like form of transit, up 3,000 feet to the start of the course.

Piiholo Zipline
Piiholo Zipline is the most recent zipline tour to be built in Maui, and it also boasts the longest shared journey. Piiholo Zipline features two side-by-side cables so groups of up to four people can share the experience and exhilaration with each other. To begin your adventure, you'll have to cross a suspended bridge. The tour is positioned above Piiholo Ranch and the panoramic views include forests, ocean and nearby canyons. There's even a treehouse for visitors to relax in while watching the zipline action.
