This was my first time parasailing, and it was such an amazing experience! The whole team was friendly, professional, and made us feel comfortable from the beginning. I went up to 1,200 feet, and honestly, it wasn’t scary at all—it was so much fun and the views were incredible! Definitely an experience I’ll never forget. 🪂🌊☀️

UFO parasailing was so much fun! The crew took care of everyone and even provided a shuttle to a different beach for the boat pick up because of rough wave conditions. Once we got on the boat it was smooth sailing and such an unreal experience. Parasailing is so relaxing and the views were gorgeous.

Overview

First time for couple of our family of 8. The crew were warm and friendly. Very nice stories of the crew's background. They put a lot of emphasis on safety, which is a BIG plus!

Parasailing for the First Time

Cecette_H, Aug 2026
This my kids first time parasailing even though we have been on many vacations. They were hesitant about parasailing so only booked the 800ft adventure. They enjoyed it so much that they want to try the 1200ft adventure the next time they parasail. The crew was very nice and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this adventure.

Pairasailed on a UFO!!

UFO Parasailing in Maui

Carol_J, Aug 2026
Andrew and Amanda were great 👍 They were very friendly and went out of their way to give us a good time. We had a friend out from South Africa with us on our excursion and we were fortunate to go out earlier than our expected departure and we were the only people on the trip ! Andrew and Amanda made us feel very welcome and went above and beyond to make it a memorable experience. Highly recommend them ! Thank you from Carol, Cheryl and Skip

A great experience above the ocean!

Parasailing on the UFO

Cecilia_P, Jun 2026
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! 🌊☀️🪂😊
