For most people, the holiday season is synonymous with snow. Visions of sugarplums and reindeer just don’t seem right without a healthy dose of the fluffy white stuff to go along with them. But what about the holidays in Hawaii? Can it still be Christmas without the snow? The answer is a resounding yes… because the holidays are about much more than snow, reindeer, or presents. The holidays are about spending time with friends and family, two of the most precious gifts life has to offer!
But for those of you who are visiting from a colder climate, there remains hope (if ever so slight) if you are sentimental for the snow. Because of the chilly temps that accompany high elevations, we sometimes wake up to snow-capped mountain tops on Maui and the Big Island. Can you believe it?? Snow in Hawaii! The conditions have to be just right, and it never extends far enough down the mountain to reach our zip line course, but we do sometimes catch a glimpse of snow atop the beautiful mountains. We think it’s a gift to those who long for just a glimpse of sugary snow.
The mountains indeed offer many gifts, and to us the best gift is providing a wonderful place to work and play. Ziplining on Maui is by far one of the greatest experiences this island can offer. High above sea level, overlooking the lush green valley and blue Pacific Ocean, you can’t help but marvel at the beauty, and feel lucky you’re here. Snow or no snow, each day on the mountain is a blessing… one we love to share with our guests!
So if you’ll be here on Maui during the holidays, book a zip line tour and be sure to see it all for yourself. We can’t guarantee it will be a White Christmas, but we can guarantee it will be a day of fun and beautiful scenery that will last in your memory for a long time. Who knows… you just might find yourself getting used to the idea of Palm Trees replacing Christmas Trees!
