Yesterday the Kapalua LPGA Classic which was scheduled for Hawaii was canceled because of a lack of a title sponsor. The announcement was made by Kapalua Land Co. a division of Maui Land & Pineapple.

The event began last year and was won by Kapalua Tour Pro Morgan Pressel. This year's event was sure to draw a huge local crowd with the appearance of Hawaii's own Michelle Wie.

This is the third Hawaii LPGA event in the past two years that has seen an end. Next year, in all likelihood, there will be no LPGA events in Hawaii.

As ecotourism or green tourism becomes a more sought out way to spend vacations, ziplining has become one of the fastest growing eco-friendly activities throughout the world.

Ziplining gained popularity in Costa Rica in the early 1990's when several companies began to offer "canopy tours" through the Costa Rican rainforest.

On Maui there are three companies that offer zip line adventures. The first Maui zip line or Maui zipline company was Skyline Eco-Adventures. This was followed several years later by Kapalua Adventures. The most recent entry in the Maui zip line business is the Piiholo Ranch Zipline.

Find our more about these three Maui zipline companies.
