Maui Ziplines and
Hiking: An Overview
Zipline tours are becoming a major tourist activity
in Maui. This adventurous sporting activity must be booked in advance to avoid the last minute rush.
A zipline consists of a pulley attached to a cable suspended in air. The
ziplines have a seat in which the tourist sits and has a look at valleys
and gorges while traversing along the inclined cable. The pulley moves freely in the cable. This is operated with the help of a motor.

Maui has umpteen numbers of zipline courses, and it is breathtaking with regard to both scenery and the adventure it gives. These high speed courses take place mostly on the slopes of Haleakala and in the West Maui Mountains.
This experience can be an unforgettable lifetime opportunity for tourists to explore high speed action in one of the world's
great volcanoes. Children from the age of ten are allowed to take part in this exotic event, and this can be an event for the entire family. A specially trained staff may instruct the tourists about the nitty-gritty of the adventure.
The event usually starts with a walk in the thick woods and then getting a bird's-eye view while soaring through the skyline cable. A perfect glimpse of seasonal waterfalls, vegetation, and plantations can be
clearly seen. A video recorder can help you to record some of the
event's best moments.
