One of Chris' coworkers was shooting the photos for their website— they're just about 1 year old. So he asked if we wanted to be the "visiting white couple." Let's see: we can zip line for free AND get photos.... ummm yes please!
We had previously zip lined the Haleakala tour and honestly were not that impressed. It was our very first time zip lining so we were kind of expecting a lot but were kind of disappointed. We weren't that high, the lines weren't that tall and it wasn't that exciting. I feel bad saying that, but just telling the truth.
So, we were excited to be going to this one— it couldn't be worse than before. We definitely were not disappointed. It is Hawaii's longest and highest zip line.
Located in the West Maui Mountains, your canopy adventure includes 8 ziplines ranging from a 200 ft. warm up to a 3,200 ft. monster! With over 2.03 miles of ziplining excitement and exceptional panoramic views of The Valley Isle (Maui).
Flyin Hawaiian Zipline is dedicated to the enjoyment and preservation of Maui. All participants on tour are leaving a legacy that will grow and thrive long after they leave.
Needless to say we had a blast. The crew was energetic, lively and entertaining while also staying professional with the safety part. What I loved about this, besides the thrilling ziplines, was that the whole group we went with was able to plant a plant ourselves. They are very eco-conscious and wanting to get this certain plant off the endangered species list. By doing that, they are dedicated to learning about them and planting one each time a group goes up there. Pretty amazing.
The views from each different line were spectacular. The West Maui mountains, the oceans and the tropical plantations—we even saw whales out there.
After our thrilling adventures, we went over to Beach Bums "Hawaii's best barbecue" First of all, most places here, boast they are "the best" at whatever they are serving. But with us coming from Texas, you have to serve up something pretty spectacular when it comes to barbecue. Beach Bum's is actually quite good. I had their pulled pork sandwich— moist, tasty and their spicy barbecue sauce was the perfect compliment to it. Chris had their Chili cheese burger— you can't really go wrong with that.
These are two places we highly recommend if you're planning a trip out here :)
Pictures of this weekend to come soon!
