Getting the best view in Hawaii requires a little bit of courage. By Stacey Leasca
Flyin Hawaiian Zipline, located on the island of Maui, is here to deliver views and thrills all in one. The zipline course is the longest on the island, providing unmatched views of the North and South shores, including views of the Haleakalā crater, all in one epic course.
More about one of the longest zip lines in Hawaii
According to the zipline company, the course includes eight different lines ranging from a 250-foot line to a 3,600-foot behemoth that will have you soaring through the trees. In total, the lines will take adrenaline-fueled guests on 2.5 miles (3.2 km) of fun with views of the Valley Isle all around.
The fun at one of the longest zip lines in Hawaii begins with a quick 4×4 drive through the Waikapu Valley. Guests then get fitted in their harnesses and will receive detailed instructions and a safety overview from their guide. This includes an introductory zip line, which is especially helpful to those heading out for their very first time. Then, when guests feel comfortable, they’ll get to zoom through the skies. On the tour, guests zip across nine valleys and 11 unique ridges, catching glimpses of the island’s stunning plants and birds (who may be gliding alongside you).
The tour then concludes in Ma’alaea. Guests will hop on an ATV for the ride down the mountain and back to where they started.

This is a serious recommendation for any outdoor enthusiast, first-timer on Hawaii, or just anyone who wants to spend a few hours enjoying a day on Maui.”
