Today I'm at Kapalua Zipline on the West side of Maui where I'm about to embark on an all
day zip-lining adventure. A rugged ride through miles of pineapple fields takes you to the
top of the course where seven zip lines and a suspension bridge with a 180 ft. drop await.
When you think zip-lining you may envision jungle and rainforest. Not here. Kapalua Zipline
is synonymous with sweeping Maui views and some serious speed. We go relatively fast,
upwards of 55 - 60 miles per hour. It's go time! Why are you checking my pulse? I just
wanna make sure you're not going to pass out halfway down. A little adrenaline pumping,
but it's all good. Hey, that's part of the game. Kick back, relax and enjoy the ride.
One, two three..go for it. Two of the lines are over 2,000 feet long. It's like you're
flying. On to the next! Bombs away! Wohooo! A dream? Yes. But for the team at Kapalua
it's just another day at the office. Not too bad huh? Now the only way to get to our next
launching point is by crossing this, the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in the country.
Zip away line five enjoy the ride! Wahoo! If you keep your eyes peeled, whales can sometimes
be spotted off in the distance. That last zip line was crazy, almost a half mile from
the top to the bottom. To book your Hawaii vacation go to Travelocity.com.
