We had an amazing time parasailing with UFO! As someone who has a serious fear of heights, I was pretty nervous at first, but the instructors immediately put me at ease. They were incredibly knowledgeable, reassuring, and gave great tips before we took off, which made the whole experience so much more enjoyable.
The boat ride was smooth, the weather was absolutely beautiful, and everyone on board seemed to be having a fantastic time. We also loved the photo package and merchandise options—it was great to have souvenirs to remember the day.
This was such a fun and unforgettable experience for my husband and me. We’re so glad we did it and would definitely recommend UFO to anyone looking for an exciting adventure! 🌊☀️🪂😊

It was beautiful. Return flyers ! UFO never disappoints, highly recommend doing the 1200 ft vs the 800 ft. The owner, son and staff rocked it. A couple got engaged in the air. Perfect time

We decided to try parasailing for the first time with UFO Parasail, and I cannot recommend them enough. We were pretty nervous and fearful before getting on the boat, but the crew completely changed that. They are so friendly and clearly amazing at what they do. They took the time to make us feel completely comfortable and safe. Instead of being scared, we were able to relax and enjoy absolutely every second of the ride. If you're on the fence about trying it, definitely go with this crew!

The boat operators are truly amazing! You couldn’t ask for a better experience. If you are in Maui, definitely recommend this company

Soooo fun and our guides were great. The experience is one in a million and the views were incredible. If you are anxious about what it will be like, or if you're scared...don't be...the easiest part is being in the air!

My grandson had never parasailed before even though I had. The whole experience was easy from start to finish. Everyone was very helpful with clear directions, skilled and patient staff, the boat was clean and well equipped too. This is a great activity to do with kids and family members! I highly recommend UFO Parasailing experience to anyone that wants to try this amazing and fun activity!

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.
