As ecotourism or green tourism becomes a more sought out way to spend vacations, ziplining has become one of the fastest growing eco-friendly activities throughout the world.
Ziplining gained popularity in Costa Rica in the early 1990's when several companies began to offer "canopy tours" through the Costa Rican rainforest.
On Maui there are three companies that offer zip line adventures. The first Maui zip line or Maui zipline company was Skyline Eco-Adventures. This was followed several years later by Kapalua Adventures. The most recent entry in the Maui zip line business is the Piiholo Ranch Zipline.

We took two zipline trips on two different islands when we were in Hawaii. The one on Maui was the best which was run by EcoAdventures. If you want a preview of what to see on Maui, a good source online is http://www.trailblazerhawaii.com. We found the best undiscovered place to snorkel was at the Olowalu Beach.
We loved ziplining in Maui! It was a great way to see Maui’s gorgeous scenery, and a lot of fun too!
We went on Skyline Eco Adventure’s Haleakala tour.
The next time I have a chance to go ziplining in Maui, I’d like to check out the ones in Kaanapali or Kapalua (not because I didn’t like the Haleakala one, but just to try something different!)
Tom Barefoot’s Tours is a provider of discounted tickets to all the zip lines on Maui as well as the rest of the state of Hawaii. There is a first person videos of the zip lines, information and online reservations available at their site http://www.tombarefoot.com/maui/zipline_tours_maui.html
This article is very dated. There are many new and better zipline options on Maui now.
