Piiholo Ranch Zipline
Maui Zipline We’ve been on every Maui zipline tour, and we strongly feel that Piiholo Zipline offers the best tours.

No More Maui Pineapple!
Maui Pineapple Company, operated by Maui Land & Pineapple Company, will end all pineapple production in Maui, Hawaii. Warren Haruki, the Chairman and Interim CEO of ML&P, said that since 2002, Maui Pineapple Company (MPC) has lost $115 million in the businesses as well as $20 million they’d invested in a new fresh packing facility. They’ve been working for a year at making it profitable again but to no avail. 100’s of employees will be laid off as a century old business is shut down.
