First, a few comments:
We invest a lot of time and money training new employees, so we rarely hire someone who is just looking for a summer job.
The more you know about our island of Maui, the better, as a large part of your job will be answering lots of questions from our guests about Maui, and Hawaii in general.
You will be working daily with visitors from all around the USA, Canada and other places, so excellent customer service skills are mandatory.
The job also includes: working outdoors in conditions ranging from hot sun to pouring rain; porta-potties instead of normal facilities; setting up, hauling and maintaining gear; and hanging out with the best guides and staff on Maui!
If this sounds like your kind of job, send your resume to [email protected].
We hire 4 or 5 times a year, so we will hold your resume until our next round of interviews and then contact you.
One of the most common problems that comes up is not being able to book the desired number of people. This can be one of two things:
- There are not enough seats left on the tour to accommodate your group. Try another time or a different date.
- You are using an older version of your browser. Try updating to the most current version of the browser that you are using.
If you still are having problems, please give us a call at (808) 572-1717

We offer a walk-along tour that accompanies the 4 Line Zip Tour, 5 Line Zip Tour, and Zip/Waterfall Hike Combo Tour. The walk-along tour covers less than a half-mile over gently rolling, unpaved terrain, and puts you ground-side as the zippers fly by overhead. It offers great photo opportunities as well as time to relax and enjoy the views among the tall trees! All guests on tour enjoy a break together with light snacks and beverages at our Tree House.
While we do not, at this time, offer a walk-along tour on the Treetop Zipline course, you are welcome to sit and enjoy some quiet-time at the picnic tables of the treetop launch area, or take a hike at the nearby Makawao Forest Reserve (ask the guides for directions.) The nearby small town of Makawao offers a variety of galleries, stores and restaurants to keep you entertained for hours.
If you have kids under the age of 8, there is unfortunately little to do at the zipline except sit at a picnic table. There are horseback lessons at nearby Piiholo Ranch (minimum age is 3) or a nice park about 4-1/2 miles away, it’s officially called the 4th Marine Division Memorial Park. It has a large grassy field and picnic tables.
