I think everyone went the same height, but it was a blast. The crew were extremely friendly and helpful. I should have paid the extra money for pictures. I was so amazed by the view, I forgot about my phone for videos. I would definitely do this again!

They charged us another $9 per person at the gate. Which was not disclosed to me while making reservations.

Dale_L, May 2026
Was an amazing, yet a little nerve racking experience due to some higher winds. I loved it but the wife, not so much.
Response from Host, May 2026
Aloha Dale,
Mahalo for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are so glad to hear that your parasailing adventure was an amazing one overall, even if it came with a few extra nerves due to the windier conditions.
We completely understand that parasailing can feel a little nerve racking, especially when conditions are more adventurous than expected. Our crew always prioritizes safety first and carefully monitors weather and wind conditions to ensure guests have a safe experience while still enjoying the incredible views and excitement of flying above Waikiki.
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the adventure, and we certainly understand that everyone experiences thrills a little differently. Hopefully your wife still enjoyed being out on the water and taking in the beautiful scenery, even if parasailing was a bit outside her comfort zone.
Thank you for choosing Go Hawaii Watersports to be part of your Hawaii adventure. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you both back for another unforgettable experience in the future.

I would pay for this experience over and over again. Our tour guides were amazing, they took great photos, and we had a great time on the boat ride before and after completing our turn parasailing. They also let all 4 of us parasail together. We felt extremely safe and enjoyed it so much. This was a great memory for us and we’ll definitely be back when we come to Hawaii again!!

I have done parasailing before so this was nothing new. The experience is always awesome. Being so high up was so thrilling and exciting. Wish it was longer. I don’t think 3–4 minutes is enough

Princess_T, Feb 2026
Don’t waste your time or money booking, she is such a scammer, don’t even bother paying for pics, she charges extra $45 and takes you 2 blurry pics and give you a hard drive to go download on the computer and once you get home, you realize you already paid and got scammed
Secondly, the parasailing is only for 7 minutes for each person, worst if you solo you can’t do it alone, she will pair you with another . But her description gave options for 1 person and lie about doing this for an hour or so, do not book, it’s total rip off
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Aloha, and thank you for your feedback.
We’re very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns.
We’d like to clarify that our parasailing experience is up to one hour total, which includes boarding, the ride out to the parasail location, safety instructions, and rotating guests in the group. Each flight time in the air can vary depending on ocean conditions, weather, and group size, but our crew always does their best to keep everyone flying as long as possible while maintaining a safe and smooth operation.
Regarding solo flights, we do not offer individual solo parasailing, and guests are typically paired for safety and balance. We apologize if there was any confusion, and we would appreciate knowing where this may have been indicated so we can review and correct it if needed.
As for the photos, we’re sorry to hear you were unhappy with that portion of your experience. Our photo packages are optional, and we always aim to provide clear and memorable images. Your feedback is important, and we will be addressing this with our team.
We truly regret that you left feeling disappointed and would welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly to better understand your experience.

The wind will play a huge factor into your experience. Today it was horribly windy therefore the boat ride was very rough.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Aloha Georgia, and mahalo for your feedback.
You’re absolutely right, wind and ocean conditions can play a big role in the overall experience, and on windier days the ride can feel much rougher than expected.
While our captains always prioritize safety and only operate in conditions that are safe, we completely understand that it can impact comfort and enjoyment. We truly appreciate you sharing this insight for future guests.
Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back on a calmer day for an even smoother and more enjoyable experience.

We had a wonderful time. They had to change our time because of wind conditions, which was fine. They gave us more height because of the inconvenience. They didn’t have to do that. We really enjoyed ourselves.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Aloha Stacy, and mahalo for your wonderful review!
We’re so happy to hear you and your family had such a great time with us. We truly appreciate your flexibility with the schedule change, safety always comes first when it comes to ocean and wind conditions.
We’re glad our team could make it up to you and give you an even more exciting experience up in the air! It means a lot to know you enjoyed yourselves.
Thank you again for choosing Go Hawaii Watersports, and we hope to welcome you and your family back for another fun adventure soon!
