Maui Zipline Courses Compared by Location and Price

The best Maui zipline depends on where you’re staying and who’s coming along. Kapalua is the pick for a longer West Maui outing with dual lines and a suspension bridge, while the Haleakala course in Kula has a six-line tour and a lower listed starting price.

There are also courses in Haiku and Wailuku, with different line counts and age and weight limits. Prices and rules can change, so confirm them with the operator before booking.

Quick answer: Choose Kapalua for the dual-line experience and bridge, Skyline’s Haleakala tour for an Upcountry outing, and North Shore or Jungle Ziplines for Haiku courses. Maui Zipline Company in Wailuku is a five-line option, but published prices differ, so check the current listing and eligibility rules before paying.

Which Maui zipline course fits your trip?

This comparison covers the Maui operators identified in the published course guide, including both Skyline Hawaii locations. Line counts, prices and limits are based on the available operator pages and guide; when details conflict, the difference is called out rather than guessed away.

The prices and tour details in this table come from the published course comparison, which says its details and prices were last checked in June 2026, and from the listed Maui Zipline Company booking page. Treat them as a planning guide, not a final quote: confirm the tour, price and limits with the operator when booking. The Haleakala operator page independently lists six lines, a starting price of $159.95 and a duration of about two hours. Love Big Island, Expedia, and Skyline Hawaii list these details.

What are the West Maui options?

Kapalua Ziplines is the most substantial West Maui course in this comparison. Its four-line tour starts at about $198 and takes 2.5 hours; the six-line tour starts at about $240 and takes 3.5 hours. Both use dual lines, so two people can zip at the same time. The longer outing also includes an ATV rainforest ride-along and a suspension-bridge trek. Kapalua Ziplines describes its full course as having two miles of cable and its bridge as 360 feet long. Lahaina Activities also lists the four-line and six-line tours and their durations.

Book Kapalua if you want more than a quick zip and can meet its rules: participants must be at least 10 and weigh 60 to 250 pounds. An adult must accompany participants ages 10 to 17, and a parent or guardian signs the release for anyone under 18. The published comparison adds a minimum height of 4 feet, so check that requirement with the operator as well. Kapalua requires closed-toe, closed-heel athletic or hiking shoes, and guests should be comfortable hiking on dirt terrain. Kapalua Ziplines’ official site has the current participation and cancellation terms.

Skyline Hawaii also runs an eight-line course in Kaanapali. The published guide lists a starting price of about $209.95, a tour time of about three hours, an age minimum of 10 and a weight range of 80 to 260 pounds. Guests 15 and under need an accompanying adult, according to that guide. Check the operator’s current Kaanapali tour page for the details before booking, since the supplied Skyline operator page covers its Haleakala tour rather than this location. Love Big Island’s comparison lists the Kaanapali tour details.

If you’re choosing a base for a West Maui stay, compare where to stay in Maui and Kapalua’s bays, trails and resort area. A course in Kapalua or Kaanapali makes more sense than crossing the island solely for a zipline, but the right choice depends on the rest of your plans.

Should you choose Haleakala, Haiku or Wailuku?

Skyline’s Haleakala tour in Kula is the clearest pick for an Upcountry itinerary. It has six lines, takes about two hours and starts at about $159.95. The operator says the course includes Hawaii’s only pendulum zipline, with speeds up to 45 mph and drops of more than 90 feet. Those are operator descriptions, not a reason to assume the tour is easy: participants need to be able to hike two miles over uneven ground at elevation. Skyline Hawaii gives the location as 18303 Haleakala Highway in Kula and lists the age and weight limits.

Participants must be at least 8 years old and weigh 60 to 260 pounds. Guests 15 and under must be accompanied by an adult, and a legal guardian signs the waiver for anyone under 18. The operator says it weighs guests at check-in and strictly enforces the limits. It also says pregnant guests cannot participate and advises against scuba diving within 24 hours before the tour because the course is at elevation. Ask the operator about any health concern before reserving. Skyline’s tour information has the full eligibility and safety guidance.

For a gentler planning day, check the hike requirement and terrain before choosing this course. It’s not a match for someone who can’t walk the full route or meet the strict weight range. If you’re also planning a summit visit, compare the logistics in our Haleakala National Park guide and Haleakala sunrise guide. The zipline tour is in Kula, a few miles outside the national park, not at the summit.

Haiku has two different options. Jungle Ziplines offers five- and eight-line tours, listed at about $139 and $159, with minimum age 6 and a 50 to 250 pound weight range. The eight-line tour is described as ending with an 888-foot run with an ocean view over the jungle canopy. The published comparison says children ages 6 to 16 ride the eight-line tour at half price, but check the current booking terms to confirm that discount. Love Big Island lists the tours, prices and limits.

North Shore Zipline, also in Haiku, has seven lines and a listed tour time of about two hours. The comparison lists about $149 for adults and $119 for children ages 5 to 12, with a 40 to 270 pound range. Its course includes platforms, towers and swinging suspension bridges; the site was formerly Camp Maui, a World War II headquarters for the U.S. 4th Marine Division. Choose North Shore if the broader weight range is useful to your group, but confirm the current price and age rules before booking. The published course guide provides those details.

Maui Zipline Company is at Maui Tropical Plantation in Wailuku. Its five side-by-side lines range from 300 to 900 feet. Expedia lists a tour price of about $155 and a duration of about two hours; the published comparison lists about $149 and 2 to 2.5 hours. The company’s own page describes the five lines and family-friendly format but doesn’t publish the age, weight or price details in the supplied information. Expedia lists a minimum age of 5, a 45 to 230 pound weight range, and adult accompaniment rules for younger children. Confirm these points with the operator rather than assuming the booking listing and company page have identical terms. Maui Zipline Company describes the course, while Expedia’s activity listing supplies the address, duration and participant information.

Which is the best zipline in Maui for you?

There isn’t one best course for every group. Our pick for a full West Maui outing is Kapalua’s six-line tour, because the dual lines, bridge and ATV ride are included in a longer tour. It’s not the budget option, and it isn’t suitable for children under 10 or anyone outside the weight range.

For a lower listed starting price, compare Jungle Ziplines’ five-line tour and Skyline’s Haleakala course. Jungle’s five-line option is listed at about $139, while Skyline Haleakala starts at about $159.95 and includes six lines. Those are different locations and experiences, so don’t choose by price alone. For young children, North Shore and Jungle list age minimums of 5 and 6 respectively; verify the exact adult accompaniment rule for the specific tour before you reserve. The published comparison provides the age and price details for both.

For a first zipline, Maui Zipline Company and North Shore are shorter tours listed at about two hours, while the Kapalua six-line tour takes about 3.5 hours. These are tour durations, not a guarantee of your full door-to-door outing. Allow time to reach the meeting location, check in and get ready. Maui Zipline Company’s Expedia listing asks guests to check in 30 minutes before the booked start time. Expedia’s listing gives that check-in instruction.

What should you check before booking?

Start with age and weight, not the photo package. Operators weigh guests at check-in, and Kapalua says it does not refund guests who fall outside its required range. Compare every person in your group against the specific course limits in the table, then confirm the current limits with the operator. If a child is close to a minimum age or height, ask before purchasing.

Wear snug, closed-toe and closed-heel athletic or hiking shoes. Kapalua and Skyline Haleakala do not allow sandals or water shoes; Skyline also says five-finger shoes are not allowed. Skyline’s tour requires walking over uneven surfaces, and Maui Zipline Company’s listing says participants need to climb stairs and walk on unpaved or uneven terrain. Ask the operator if mobility, back, neck or joint issues could affect participation. Kapalua Ziplines, Skyline Hawaii, and Expedia outline these requirements.

Read the cancellation policy for the exact operator and reservation. Kapalua lists full refunds for cancellations at least 48 hours before the reservation and no refunds after that cutoff. Skyline Haleakala lists a full refund for cancellations at least 24 hours in advance, and says tours run rain or shine; if it cancels, it will try to contact guests to reschedule or refund. Expedia describes free cancellation for Maui Zipline Company but does not state the deadline in the supplied listing. Don’t assume one company’s policy applies to another. Kapalua’s official page, Skyline’s official page, and Expedia’s booking page state the available terms.

How we researched this

We compared zipline operator pages, a booking listing and a published Maui course comparison. Where the sources differ, including the Maui Zipline Company price and tour duration, we show the discrepancy and recommend checking the current booking page. Our editors did not receive payment from any business mentioned.

Before you go

Pick by location first, then check every participant’s age, weight and ability to handle the walking and terrain. Confirm the price, tour length, cancellation cutoff, footwear rules and check-in time directly with the operator. If you’re deciding between West Maui and Upcountry, choose the course that fits the rest of your day rather than adding a long cross-island drive just to zipline.
