Maui Zipline tours

Zipline Tours

Zipline tours are a fairly recent activity to appear on Maui, but Maui Zipline tours are certainly one of the most popular activities on the island and are often booked weeks in advance.Simply put, a Zipline is an aerial runway consisting of a pulley suspended on a cable that is mounted on an incline. Zip lines are designed to allow a seated and harnessed passenger to traverse valleys, gorges or drop-offs along an inclined cable by being attached to a freely moving pulley while using gravity as a motor.

Professional Zipline courses such as those found on Maui are often operated at high speeds and can cover long distances at considerable heights with multiple Zipline crossings included in the course. Maui has a number of Zipline courses and they are breathtaking with regard to both the scenery and the Maui Zipline adventure itself.
