Market Update
Growing up on Maui, there are still some adventures that I haven't done yet. This includes going on a zipline, paragliding, and hiking in the Haleakala Crater.
The Piiholo Ranch Zipline located in Makawao is the home of the longest side-by-side zipline in Hawaii. They have a canopy tour that includes going on the ziplines, the canopy bridges, tree platform, and 2 tree houses. Visit www.piiholozipline.com or call 1-800-374-7050 for more information.
Paragliding in Maui would also be a thrilling experience. Proflyght Paragliding will take you to Waipoli Flight Park in Kula where you could fly tandem with a certified instructor or you go solo as well. Visit paraglidemaui.com or call 808-874-5433 for more information.
After all these years, I have never done the 4-mile hike in Haleakala Crater. I did go up to the observatory and witnessed seeing an actually shooting comet (Haley's comet) when I was younger. If you are not from Maui, you could have a hiking guide take you on this tour. Hike Maui specializes in a variety of hiking tours. They can take you on a hiking tour in Haleakala Crater, a full-day hike in Hana that includes visiting the waterfalls and rain forest, a short waterfall walk, and etc. If you do not have that much time, you could do a combination of kayaking, snorkeling, and a waterfall hike all in one day. Visit www.hikemaui.com or call 1-866-324-6284 for more information.
Have a wonderful week.
