After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
From Kauai’s Na Pali Coast to Hawaii Island’s southern shore, the Hawaiian Islands are full of magical adventures to have and incredible places to experience. Whether you call Hawaii home or are visiting the islands on vacation, there is one activity that absolutely must be on your Hawaiian Islands bucket list: ziplining. And while you will undoubtedly find countless zip lining tours across the main four Hawaiian islands, there’s little better than checking out the state’s longest zipline.
Featuring eight different ziplines ranging in length from just 250 feet to a 3,600-foot run, Flying Hawaiian Zipline not only offers the single longest zipline in Hawaii, but is an island excursion the entire family will love.
Your adventure will begin with an ATV ride form the Maui Tropical Plantation through Waikapu Valley. From here, explorers will scale the first platform and partake in a brief explanation of the equipment and safety procedures.
Soar through the skies as you zip from one platform to the next, dangling over Maui’s splendid natural beauty over a variety of stunning landscapes, including nine lush, verdant valleys, 11 ravishing ridgelines, and acres upon acres of farmland and forests. Thanks to state-of-the-art equipment, adventure seekers are easily able to snap a few photos along the way.
The further along the course you go, the more exciting it becomes as the lines get gradually longer. At the end of the tour, you will have soared more than 2.5 miles through the air over the magnificent Valley Isle.
By the eighth and final line, you will be ready for the thrill of a lifetime: a magnificent run that stretches an impressive 3,600 feet. Though falling short by a few thousand feet from matching the world’s longest zipline — found in Puerto Rico — the lengthy zipline found at Flying Hawaiian is easily one of the best thrills to be had in the Aloha State.
Each tour lasts approximately four to five hours and includes a little hiking and even the planting of rare, native Hawaiian plants. Not only will you experience thrills unlike any other, but you will end your journey with lasting memories, picturesque photographs, and the knowledge that you have played a part in this landscape thriving for decades to come.
Perfect for first-time vacationers, locals, adventure seekers, and nature enthusiasts alike, Hawaii’s longest zipline is an absolute must on any visit to the Valley Isle, and in particular, Maui Tropical Plantation.
So, what are you waiting for? If you’re looking for a stellar adventure — and are at least ten years old, weigh between 75 and 250 pounds, and are in good physical condition — Flying Hawaiian Zipline doesn’t disappoint.
