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: zip lining. And while you will undoubtedly find countless zip lining tours across the main four Hawaiian islands, there’s little better than checking out Maui’s best zip lining tour.
Before we dive into this aerial adventure, let me say that absolutely anyone can go ziplining. While you might want to stay away if you’re terrified of heights, ziplining is a perfect activity for anyone who wants a little adventure in their life — or just some incredible aerial views of the islands.
With a combined total of 6,400 feet of line, Piiholo Ranch is not only home to the longest side-by-side zipline on Maui but has been voted the No. 1 land activity on the island as well.
From humble beginnings as a cattle ranch and horseback riding venture, Piihole Ranch has become one of the premier zip lining experiences in the country as well as arguably one of the best ways to experience the Valley Isle’s scenic beauty.
You’ve never seen Hawaii’s forests quite like this before. Soar through immense eucalyptus forests full of native and indigenous plants — all while catching glimpses of Maui’s coast — on this aerial adventure sure to impress.
Offering four, five, and seven-line tours as well as a zip and hike combo, ranging in duration from two to nine hours, there’s a tour for everyone to enjoy at Piiholo Ranch.
But that’s not all: guests can also enjoy an exhilarating walk over a 317-foot swinging bridge, try their hand at a challenging ropes course, and hang out on platforms and treehouses nestled amongst the forest canopy.
We shouldn't neglect to talk about those amazing views, though. In addition to fabulous forest vistas, you’ll enjoy sweeping panoramic views of Kahakapao Valley, the slopes of Mount Haleakala, and even the vast Pacific Ocean.
Don't forget to be prepared before you go! Wear closed-toe shoes, dress appropriately for the weather, leave your valuables at home, pull back long hair, and get ready for the experience of a lifetime.
