Ziplining in Upcountry Maui

July 27th, 2009 · 3 Comments

Note: Donna and Dustin took a lot of the following photos. I brought my little junky camera and it didn’t work out too well. Donna brought her DSLR that she uses for freelance photography. Big thanks to her for letting me post her photos here. Also, don’t miss the video I took that’s posted at the end of this entry!

Donna and Dustin took us ziplining in Maui. None of us had ever gone before so we weren’t sure what to expect, but we all loved it. I’d go do it again in second. It was so much fun. We went to this course that was on the way to Haleakala, in Upcountry Maui.

After everyone got their gear on we took a walk through the woods to the zipline course.

Our guides, Jimmy and Ryan. These guys knew what they were doing, and were also pretty hysterical. Funny guys.

There’s a of platform. Your harness is hooked onto the line by the guide. Then you just step off.

There was a pole at the end of the line that you could try to make it to and tap. Hardly anyone made it.
