Had a great time! My girlfriend and I booked with this company and went out with Sundance, Dawson, and Tyler. These guys were fun and very professional! We had a blast with their karaoke parasailing venture! Would definitely use these guys again!

No hassle refund

Derrill_E, Aug 2026
We had to cancel due to Hurricane Lala but the company refunded our money with no hassles at all - we look forward to parasailing with them next time we visit Waikiki!

unacceptable and such a disappointment

Robert_J, Aug 2026
The worst experience I’ve ever booked with any adventure company or any adventure platform Not only was the Vendor the rudest I’ve ever dealt with. I was explained to the Vendor that a natural disaster had occurred which was a Hurricane Lala in Hawaii. The power going out is an issue on the island since they have the hurricane. I was explaining to the company that we were meeting with that we were not gonna make our time accurately due to 32 floors, not having access to an elevator. Only one elevator was operational in our hotel, making it very difficult for people to get to the room and also leave the building or leave the hotel to make any accommodations that were planned if you were on vacation in Hawaii at the moment. I called the company directly. We had the adventure booked with which was parasailing. The adventure company wanted to charge me extra fees due to us, not making the time that we had scheduled. After I spoke to the rude and unprofessional person that was working at extreme parasailing, I also called viator to let them know what was going on and how rude the parasailing company was and would not allow us to reschedule so we could make our time we had scheduled at a later time on that day. Nothing we did was for seen on our end we were told the elevator will be working that day which it wasn’t which is acceptable due to unseen circumstances with the power and the elevator are not working correctly. after six phone calls I still was not able to get my time rescheduled, nor was I able to get a refund from the company due to a hurricane messing up our plans This is completely unacceptable and I would never in my life waste my time working with his Vendor or working with this adventure company in the future. Sad and pathetic, not only from the vendor standpoint who was orchestrating the parasailing and in charge of our reservation… but also very disappointing from a employee perspective dealing with customer service from this company I’ve booked the adventure with. lesson learned I’ll go to Groupon from now on their customer service and their policies are way more realistic and they definitely have common sense enough to know what’s going on and not have to make seven phone calls. Total spending two hours on the phone not getting a dollar back in our family not being able to do this adventure on our vacation

I would do it again and again!

Fadi_A, Aug 2026
You have to go extreme and do the 1000ft, what an amazing experience. This is more than just fun this is a bit therapeutic as well. Being that high up just naturally lifts your spirits. I’m so glad we did it.

This parasailing experience was amazing!! Our crew, Marty and Jack, were super fun and experienced and made the trip all the more enjoyable! It was a safe and comfortable ride, exhilarating but not scary, and our crew’s energy and music made it even more fun!

Fun experience but disappointed about pictures

Shaylene_O, Aug 2026
We had a lot of fun. They made us feel safe and comfortable for the experience. It was actually really relaxing being up there in the sky. The only problem we had is that they took our pictures and we only received half of them. It was me and my boyfriend in one ride and my son and step dad in another. We only received pics of my son and step dad even tho we were supposed to get all of our pics included. Which was really sad because it was mine and my boyfriend’s anniversary. They told me they would give me half refund of the picture package since we only received half of the pics but unfortunately I never even received the refund. It’s been 2 weeks now. Really disappointed about that. I don’t understand how our pictures just went missing.

Great experience

Su_Y, Jul 2026
Great experience - we went out in a small group, each had a turn to go up - the actual flight time was about 7 mins. Doesn’t sound like long but it was enough. The instructors were friendly and helpful, and went through the safety procedures. I’ve done it a few times before, so I knew what to expect but it was a great experience and I would highly recommend. we also paid a little extra for the photographs at the end.

Awesome Experience!

crystal_h, Jul 2026

Amazing Experience!!!!!

Chetali_P, Jul 2026
Finn, Dawson and Paul were amazing. It was a group setting on the boat, but we felt like it was a private experience. All three were very personable and made the experience both fun on and off the boat. The view Parasailing was beautiful. Worth booking with these three over any other vendor!

First time, scared but loved it!!

DEBORAH_M, Jul 2026
First time parasailing and was so scared. The crew was so understanding and made it an amazing experience. Get the photo package too! So worth the action shots!
