Maui Kaʻanapali 8-Line Zipline Adventure: Panoramic Ocean and Valley Views
Fly across two deep West Maui valleys and take in panoramic ocean views on an eight-line zipline course above Kaʻanapali. This three-hour tour mixes short hikes, expert-guided safety, and repeated vantage points of Molokini and Lanaʻi.
The Experience
Before You Go
Check the weight and age rules
Operators enforce a minimum of 80 lbs and maximum of 260 lbs and a 10+ age requirement—bring ID and be prepared to be weighed at check-in.
Wear closed-toe shoes
You’ll hike short stretches over uneven ground between platforms; sneakers or hiking shoes provide traction and protection.
Sun and hydration
Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a reusable water bottle—the elevation and trade winds don’t remove sun exposure or the need for fluids.
Morning or late-afternoon light
Book early for calmer winds and clearer views, or late afternoon for warmer light and fewer crowds; weather cancels if conditions are unsafe.

Conservation Note
Operators emphasize staying on platforms and not disturbing native plants; use reef-safe sunscreen and follow guide instructions to minimize environmental impact.
Lahaina was a key Hawaiian Kingdom center and later a 19th-century whaling port; the ridgelines above Kaʻanapali were traversed by native paths and supported traditional agriculture.
