Zip through Maui’s lush treetops then step into WWII history at Camp Maui

You’ll launch off seven ziplines over Maui’s North Shore with guides who know every story behind Camp Maui. Expect shaky knees on the suspension bridge, ocean views between bursts of laughter, and a chance to learn real WWII history right where it happened. All gear is sorted for you—just bring your courage (and maybe closed-toe shoes).

The Experience

I’ll be honest, I almost chickened out at the first platform. The harness felt snug (maybe too snug?) and my palms were sweaty as our guide, Keola, grinned and clipped me in. He said something about “Maui’s only continuous belay” but all I could focus on was the way the eucalyptus leaves smelled after last night’s rain. My friend dared me to go first — so I did. The wind hit my face as soon as I stepped off, and for a second it was just green below and ocean far off, and me kind of yelling but also laughing at myself.

We zipped seven lines in total, each one a little longer or higher than the last. There was this wobbly suspension bridge halfway through — my legs shook more than I’d like to admit. Keola told us stories about Camp Maui while we waited our turn, pointing out an old concrete slab where soldiers used to play baseball (didn’t expect that detail). At one point he made us guess what “Scaredy Cat Clause” meant — turns out you can bail after two lines if it’s not your thing. Nobody bailed from our group, though. Maybe because everyone was cheering each other on by then.

The best part wasn’t even the adrenaline — it was watching the clouds roll over the North Shore from those high-up tree platforms, hearing someone’s nervous laughter echo across the gulch. After we finished, they let us poke around the little Camp Maui museum. Old black-and-white photos lined the walls; it smelled faintly like dust and sunscreen. I still think about that view from line five sometimes, honestly. It sticks with you more than you’d expect.

What’s included

Your day includes all necessary safety equipment—helmet, harness, gloves, rain gear if needed—and guidance from local pros who make sure everyone feels safe (and maybe braver than they expected). You’ll also get free admission to the Camp Maui Museum to round things out before heading home with muddy shoes and probably some new inside jokes.
