Jungle Zipline Maui is at 50 E Waipio Rd in Haiku, just past mile marker 3 at the start of the Road to Hana, a short way beyond Twin Falls. You drive yourself, and the tour takes about two hours plus check-in.
Here is how to fit it around the rest of the north shore, and the Road to Hana if you are tempted to do both.
The quick answer
The zipline is just past mile marker 3 at the start of the Road to Hana. The operator suggests leaving about 2 hours before your tour if you are staying far away. Zipline in the morning and spend the afternoon at Twin Falls, Paia and Ho'okipa, or zipline first and drive part of the road with an audio guide. For the full drive to Hana, give it its own day.
Is there a zipline on the Road to Hana?
Yes: Jungle Zipline Maui, just past mile marker 3 at the start of the road in Haiku.
It is the only zipline on the Road to Hana. The operator's directions are to pass mile marker 3 and take the first left toward the ocean; the base is the third gate on the left. Guests say the signs are small, so look for the Zipline Office sign and park there or on the road rather than continuing down the narrow private drive.

Check dates for the 8-line jungle ziplineHow far is the zipline from where you are staying?
Closest from Kahului and Paia; allow about 2 hours from West Maui, as the operator suggests for far-away hotels.
Guests staying in Lahaina and Ka'anapali describe it as worth the drive but long, with one reviewer driving an hour and a half. From Kihei and Wailea the drive is shorter but still means an early start for a morning slot. Check in is 30 minutes before your tour.
Can you zipline and drive the Road to Hana on the same day?
You can, with an early slot, but it makes a very long day; most visitors are happier giving Hana its own day.
The road runs 52 miles with more than 600 curves and dozens of one-lane bridges, and a full there-and-back trip with stops takes most of a day on its own. If you want both, zipline at the first slot, then drive as far as you comfortably can and turn back well before dark.
Driving on after the zipline? A GPS audio guide tells the stories and picks the stops, one price per car.

Twin Falls just before it, Paia and Ho'okipa on the way back, and Mama's Fish House for dinner.
- Twin Falls: the first waterfall stop on the Road to Hana, just before the zipline.
- Paia: the surf town with cafes and shops on the Hana Highway.
- Ho'okipa Beach Park: windsurfers, and green sea turtles resting on the sand in the afternoon.
- Mama's Fish House: just outside Paia; one jungle zipline guest paired the two for a perfect day.
Should you drive to Hana yourself or take a tour?
Drive yourself for flexibility; take a guided tour if the driver wants to see the road too.
A guided small-group day handles the curves, the parking and the state park entry, and brings you back in time for dinner. It cannot be combined with the zipline on the same day, because the tour runs its own programme from your hotel.
Rather not drive? This small-group day includes hotel pickup, lunch and the Wai'anapanapa entry.
Explore the Road to Hana tourDo you need reservations on the Road to Hana?
For Wai'anapanapa State Park, yes: non-residents need an advance reservation, and popular times book up.
Book it before your Hana day if you drive yourself; guided tours usually include it. The zipline itself needs a booking too, and morning slots go first in busy months.
Lock in the zipline first: free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Check dates for the 8-line jungle ziplineCan you get to the zipline without a car?
Only by taxi or rideshare, and getting back is the hard part: there is no pickup, one guest could not find an Uber back from Haiku, and recent reviewers advise planning your return.
If you do not have a car for the day, book a return ride before you go. Otherwise, a rental car is the simplest way to fit the zipline into a north shore day.
What does a good north shore zipline day look like?
A morning on the lines, an afternoon on the coast and dinner in Paia.
- Morning: drive the Hana Highway through Paia, stop at Twin Falls if you are early
- Check in 30 minutes before a morning slot; about 2 hours on the course
- Lunch in Paia on the way back
- Afternoon: Ho'okipa to watch the surfers and turtles
- Evening: dinner in or near Paia before the drive home
