Review of Hawaii: Zipline!

On the 3rd day of the honeymoon, Nate and I did a Zipline Tour on Haleakala (the volcano on the east side of Maui). It was really cool, and definitely an adrenaline rush. They started us on a small zipline (I think it was 250 feet) and then they worked us up to the big one which was 1,000 feet long.

The tour guides were hilarious and definitely made the trip. They were put to good use as they helped slow us down so that we could actually stop on the platform at the other end.
It was pretty funny because we didn't leave on-time due to a group of 4 running about 20 minutes late. I guess they told the guy there was a medical emergency and they had to take someone to the hospital that morning. The tour guide said "oh i'm sure they have kids, and you know how that goes".....but this crew rolls in and they are definitely all in their 20's and looking pretty hungover. So I'm not sure what exactly qualifies for a medical emergency these days, but either way Nate and I got a lot of use out of it all week.
