· Zip lining at Skyline Eco Adventures. Our location was Haleakala, HI. This is great if you’re a beginner because it starts off small and then gradually gets faster and higher up. It’s not scary, and it’s extremely fun and safe. I really recommend it. I think you have to be 60 pounds or heavier. Also, you need to make a reservation. You can either call 808.878.8400 or book online here: http://www.zipline.com/book-onlineIf you book online, I think you save some money. Remember to click Haleakala, HI.
