Ziplining Adventure Tours If you're looking for excitement and a chance to feel the wind in your hair while exploring the Islands, these tours are exactly what you're after. One of the hottest adventures to hit Maui in the last few years is ziplining and you can try it with Maui Zipline Company (633 -24 6 4), North Shore Zipline (269 - 0 671), or Skyline Eco- Adventures Zipline (425-9095). Tours are conducted on the slopes of Haleakala, in central Maui at the Maui Tropical Plantation, and in the West Maui Mountains, north of Lahaina Town. Each company offers something unique. Get ready for an easy hike with narration about the island's eco- systems, and then strap in and fly across valleys at speeds up to 40mph. If launching off of cliffs, zipping across gorges and soaring through tropical forests sounds fun, this is the activity for you! Note that kids must be at least 5 years old and you must weigh 50-275 lbs. The Road to Hana Our #9 on the list of activities not to miss is the scenic drive along the famous Road to Hana. It's a 52 mile two-lane road with over 600 hairpin turns crossing more than 50 bridges. The drive to Hana isn't only about the destination, it's also about the journey. But hey, it's kinda hard to enjoy the journey when you're navigating those hairpin turns. Instead, keep your eyes on the road and pull over often. One way to get the most out of your Hana trip is to either download the GyPSy Guide App (GypsyGuide.com/maui) or pickup the Hana CD Tour at the Hana Picnic Lunch Co. (579-8686). Taking advantage of either of these guided tours will make this trip more fun! On your way be sure to stop in at Halfway to Hana (248-7037), just past Mile Marker 17, and get your hands on their world famous, melt in your mouth banana bread it's baked fresh daily!
