This was an experience. All the three of us, can't swim but we really enjoyed the ride. From the start of the ride to the end, was easy and fun. So, prepare to let go and enjoy the ride.

We had age 12-42 and everyone loved it! Pictures were an added bonus and great! The advice on where to go snorkeling and cliff jumping down the road made it a perfect ending!

The check-in process was perfect. She made an elderly disabled person so comfortable. She assured me that the transfers to dinghy and boat would be smooth and safe. They just know how to do it. It was great!! The team made my wish a dream come true.

The staff were very friendly and warm. They gave great directions to our family as it was our first time. The experience was incredible and made even better with the pictures taken during our time in the air.
Ross_A, Aug 2025
Park in Whalers Village. Enter shopping center and head towards the beach. When you see Leilani's on your left and MonkeyPod on your right you are almost there. Continue straight onto beach. Turn left and look on the sand for a couple blue umbrellas. Check in there upon arrival and fill out waivers beforehand or there. Amazingly friendly group with great personalities and very professional. Please listen to clear and concise instructions throughout the event. Captain and guide are both knowledgeable and experienced. Dry storage on boat or leave on the sand. Not crowded on boat. We went out with only one other couple so felt really intimate. They take photos and the dip in ocean is optional. A special thank you to James, Micah and Ben. Mahalo

Parasailing in Maui was absolutely unforgettable! The crew made the whole experience safe, fun, and easy-even for first-timers. The views from above were incredible-you can see the ocean, mountains, and the island all at once. Takeoff and landing were smooth, and the ride itself was peaceful yet thrilling. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Maui-I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a mix of adventure and breathtaking scenery!
Kathy_C, Aug 2025
I went parasailing when I was in Maui and I had a wonderful time. Ben was the gentleman that checked us in when we arrived on the beach, he did an amazing job. I booked trip for myself but he made it possible for my friend to join me on the boat! Also I would like to give a heads up for Amanda and Jimmy on the boat that I flew out of... so informative and was excellent at. explaining what steps to take to have a safe and fun adventure. I felt very comfortable being on their boat, I would highly recommend Viator to anyone that would like to have a great time!

I took my husband for his birthday.
It was such an awesome experience…so peaceful. The staff were all super friendly.
Just make sure you book directly through ufo parasailing and not a third party so you can get your kamaaina discount! We would definitely do this again.
Kerwin_G, Aug 2025
Very professional and courteous. They make safety the priority. Very professional crew. Very organized.
kathy_w, Aug 2025
It was a good experience. The captain was great Kat could use better customer service to make you feel more welcome and comfortable. I was a lil nervous, but all and all the crew kept us safe and did their jobs.
The experience is one in a lifetime and I recommend it and would do it again.
