Viator files Jungle Zipline Maui's full tour as the "7-Line Jungle Zipline Tour On Maui", and reviews from a few years ago mention joining the 7-zipline group. The same listing now describes eight ziplines. Meanwhile NorthShore Zipline, a separate company at Camp Maui in Haiku, sells a 7-line tour.
Both are good, both take about two hours, and they suit slightly different groups.
The quick answer
The jungle tour sold as the 7-line is now an 8-line course by Jungle Zipline Maui: shorter, lower lines through dense rainforest, ages 6 and up to 250 lb, rated 4.9. Maui's 7-line course is NorthShore Zipline at Camp Maui: longer and higher lines (up to 900 feet and 70 feet high), ages 5 and up to 270 lb, rated 4.7.
Is the 7-line jungle zipline still seven lines?
No. Jungle Zipline Maui now runs its full course as eight ziplines, with an 85-foot suspension bridge and two swinging bridges.
The Viator web address still reads 7-Line-Jungle-Zipline-Tour-On-Maui, which is why the old name lives on in searches. The operator also sells a 5-line tour on the same site, and an older 4-line listing is no longer bookable. Booking the "7-line" jungle tour gets you all eight lines.

Which one has the better scenery?
For being inside a jungle, Jungle Zipline; for open views over the north shore and ocean, NorthShore.
Jungle Zipline's lines stay close to the canopy through mango, banyan and passion fruit trees, with ginger and heliconia on the paths and one line with an ocean view. NorthShore's lines run through and over eucalyptus with wider views of the Pacific and the north shore, and, if you are lucky, rainbows.
Which is better for kids and mixed groups?
NorthShore, if anyone is 5 years old or between 250 and 270 lb; otherwise both work well for families.
Jungle Zipline takes children from 6, and under-13s ride with a guardian or family member aged 16 or over. Its child price on Viator is half the adult price, which makes it cheaper for families of four than it first looks. See weight and age limits for every course.
Family day? Children 6 to 14 ride the jungle tour at half price on Viator.
Check dates for the 8-line jungle ziplineWhich is more of a thrill?
NorthShore: its lines are longer and higher, while guests describe the jungle lines as exciting but not very high.
That is exactly why the jungle course suits nervous riders: the platforms are reached by short stairs, not ladders, and guides handle the braking. Riders after speed tend to prefer NorthShore or the West Maui mountain courses.
Can you do both on the same day?
You could, since both are in Haiku and take about two hours, but most visitors pick one and use the rest of the day for the north shore.
If you do both, book the jungle course in the morning and NorthShore in the afternoon, allow time for the drive between them and for check-in 30 minutes before each tour. For a different kind of course, compare them with the West Maui ziplines in the best zipline on Maui.
So which should you book?
Book the jungle tour for rainforest scenery, snacks and gentle lines; book NorthShore for exactly seven lines, more speed or a rider aged 5 or over 250 lb.
- First-time or nervous riders: the jungle tour, or its 5-line version.
- Kids aged 5: NorthShore.
- Someone between 250 and 270 lb: NorthShore.
- You want to be in the rainforest: the jungle tour.
- You want the most lines for the money: the jungle tour's 8 lines.
