This tour was so much fun! I was nervous but the you guys were super nice and made the experience memorable. The parasailing itself was amazing. Once you’re in the air it isn’t scary at all.

This was such an awesome experience! It was my wife, daughter, and my own first time parasailing. And the staff was helpful and fun, as well as relatable. Even my daughter who is normally afraid of everything loved every bit of it and was comfortable! Marty & Dawson were incredible! Definitely recommend!

Had a blast

Tiffany_S, May 2026

Had a great time with my son and my husband. Would do this again and again. The hosts were amazing..

Must Do This!!

Deborah_M, May 2026

Great experience exciting and peaceful. Crew is amazing. Highly recommend. We did the extreme and it is so awesome and high.

Experience great, photos not so much….

Shavonne_P, May 2026

The activity itself was awesome! The captain and assistant made the experience really enjoyable and calming, especially since I was so nervous. The only downfall was the photos, I paid $40 for them and they were blurry, very far distant and I can’t even see my face in any of them. That unfortunately was a huge disappointment for me. Thank goodness I was brave enough to take some on my phone or else the moment wouldn’t have been captured.

Great experience

Marhonda_B, May 2026

This was a great experience. The crew made us feel comfortable. The music was great, and tons of laughter.

Exhilarating

Sharon_B, May 2026

It was so much fun!! Dawson and Sundance made it even more fun!!! They made us less anxious as we tried something we had always wanted to do.

Great First Time

Natasha_H, May 2026

Sundance and Dawson were great for our first parasailing experience. Very efficient with time, we had 5 couples and they gave everyone personal attention.

Parasailing - A Waikiki Must-Do!

Sonia_C, May 2026

I celebrated my 60th birthday parasailing with my daughters, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip! If you’re looking for the best seat in the house to take in Oahu’s stunning coastline, this is it. Parasailing over the Pacific was the perfect blend of an adrenaline rush and complete tranquility. Once we were up in the air, the experience was surprisingly peaceful and quiet. The views of the Oahu coastline were absolutely breathtaking, and the crew made us feel completely safe with a smooth take-off and landing throughout. If you're looking for a memorable way to celebrate a milestone, I highly recommend this experience. Definitely opt for the photo package so you can fully soak in the panoramic views without worrying about your phone — it was easily one of the most memorable parts of my trip to Hawaii. The only downside is that I’m still waiting for the photo package to be sent to my email, which I was advised would arrive within 24 hours of our experience. Hopefully this can be resolved soon.

Best time ever

GIGI_F, May 2026

Kyle and Marty made the experience so much fun from the music they played to thev where they explained how the parasailing goes how to put on the equipment and they just made it fun I love the pictures that they took you'll definitely want to buy the pictures. I have to say it was the best 1-hour experience especially if you're wanting to do multiple things here in Hawaii and activities these people keep you on a good time schedule so that you're not late for your next activity. Thanks again Marty and Kyle for giving my family a head start to a good time here in Hawaii!

Awesome family experience!

melanie_c, May 2026

everyone was very friendly and this was fun! i was nervous being solo but the people there made this experience smoother!

Fun! Nice view! Worth the money.

Muyoka_M, May 2026

It is first booth, you can park right next to it, there add $10 for gas per person. There is food court after all the booths at the end. They don't allow spray sunscreen, one of the insturctors was nice and shared his. I felt safe the whole time, some people were upset photos came in sd card rather than being emailed, but definitely worth the money, great to see Oahu coast from the sky, relaxing.

An exciting and safe way to see Waikiki from the water

Kelly_G, Apr 2026

Super fun (and not scary) boat trip with entertaining guides. You fly tandem, so each pair only gets 5 minutes or so in the air, but it felt like enough. Our group included two teenage girls, and they loved it.

Great Experience with Sundance & Kyle
