First time parasailing and it was great. I was hesitant because of heights but very calm once you get up there. Teens enjoyed it greatly. Well worth it and the two people who took us were great. The boat ride was also awesome 😁

Best Guides Ever, Shoutout, Daniel and Nick!

TriciaJane_P, Mar 2026
Shoutout to Daniel and Nick for being the most awesome guides ever! My friends and I had the best time in the air and on the boat. The vibes were unmatched, our boat had the best people, playing the best music, and though it was my first time parasailing, I had absolutely no doubt it was going to be a fun flight thanks to our two guides. I can't recommend an adventure more than this one, as it was the highlight of my trip. Will definitely be returning and maybe doing a higher flight!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Aloha and thank you for your amazing review. We are so happy to hear that you and your friends had such an unforgettable experience both in the air and on the boat.

We will be sure to share your kind words with them, as they will truly appreciate it. Creating a fun, welcoming atmosphere with great energy and music is something our team takes pride in. We are honored to have been a highlight of your trip and look forward to welcoming you back for an even higher flight next time. Mahalo Waikiki Parasail Hawaii

Plz consider thoughtfully, not as good as you think.

Maggie, Mar 2026
I don't leave reviews, but I really have to talk about my disappointing experience. I was looking forward to it, and I expected to enjoy the view when the weather is good, at least not raining heavily. I order for a 4pm, because I wanted to see the sunset view after it, but at 8am in the morning they asked me to reschedule to 2pm afternoon or another time (the reason was "our afternoon was quite slow" - maybe they just wanted to clock out early). We can't do tomorrow and we will be leaving so I had to agree. The polices said that" this activity is expecting a good weather, or else may be canceled or rescheduled ". That afternoon was raining heavily and was really cold. I argued for a refund due to the weather, but they said that captain said it's okay so then we're going. (Btw, one of the staffs, was really mean, they sounded nice, but their words was full of impatient) 1.5h in the rain with just swimsuits (0.5h for waiting for another group, I asked the staff if we can wait for them in car, but they said that once the last group come, they will leave and leave us behind [they underlined that, trying to "threat" us]. Even though the activity starts at 2pm and they also said that we have to check in 30min before the activity starts. So either way, we shouldn't wait in the rain for that long time) and raindrops smashing on to my face, I'm gonna get a cold. And guess what! When it was 4pm this afternoon, the rain stopped and the sky was clear, everything was great! So why the heck did I have to choose a time that I wanted to participate that activity. If you wanted to clock out early, why give me the choice? All I wanted to say is that they don't really care about your experience. The slots that you choose might be requested to change after all. The photos they show you were all sunny , which made me believe that we could also have that great experience, but no, they just wanted to earn your money, no matter how you feel. I really wanted to give a 0 star. Im actually paying 200 bucks for a cold.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Aloha, and thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry to hear how disappointing your visit was. We understand how much you were looking forward to a sunset experience, and we regret that your schedule was changed and did not align with your expectations. We also apologize for the discomfort you experienced due to the weather and how the situation was communicated to you. While weather conditions and ocean safety are determined by the captain and can change quickly throughout the day, we understand your frustration, especially given the conditions during your trip and how they improved later. Your concerns about the rescheduling process, wait time, and overall communication are valid, and this is not the level of service we aim to provide. We are also very concerned to hear about how you were treated by our staff. Regardless of the circumstances, all guests should be treated with patience, clarity, and respect. What you described does not reflect our standards, and we will be addressing this with our team. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve both our communication and guest experience. If you are open to it, we would like the opportunity to speak with you directly and make this right. Please feel free to reach out to us at your convenience. Mahalo Waikiki Parasail Hawaii

Fun Parasailing

May_P, Feb 2026
It was a fun experience. The crew was very efficient and safe BUT we were very disappointed in their overall attitude- they weren’t friendly and especially what the young lady was wearing. She was wearing a jacket over her bathing suit which appeared Ok as we were getting on the boat. But as she was reaching for life jackets/harnesses, we could see she was wearing a thong bathing suit which exposed her buns. To us, this was very inappropriate dress for a job! We were traveling with 3 -13 year old boys. So, that is why we wouldn’t recommend this experience to a friend.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Aloha, and thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad to hear that you found the crew efficient and safety-conscious during your experience. However, we sincerely apologize that the overall attitude and appearance of our staff impacted your visit negatively. We take concerns about professionalism very seriously, and your feedback regarding attire and conduct will be addressed with our team to ensure our environment is appropriate and respectful for all guests, including families with children. We appreciate you taking the time to provide this feedback, as it helps us improve our service and maintain a welcoming experience for everyone. Mahalo Waikiki Parasail Hawaii

Times too short?

SUZHEN_L, Jan 2026
This experience is fun but the whole thing only takes 34 mins. To be honest it’s shorter than I thought, but everything else is fine, love it.

The best parasailing experience with an 11 yr old

Renee_R, Dec 2025
Excellent customer service, Captain and co-captain willing to accommodate my 11yr old kid, since she was scared.

Mahalo for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that our captain and co-captain were able to make your child feel comfortable and ensure an enjoyable experience. We look forward to welcoming you and your family back for another adventure soon.

Not worth the price

Maryclara_H, Dec 2025
You’re only on the boat for 24 minutes and you go parasailing for five and we spent over $300 not worth it. We got on the boat at 8 got off at 8:24 and there was another party there with us. In the details, it tells you that you’ll be on the boat physically for an hour on the boat.. that was super disappointing and misleading. The guys driving were nice and awesome, the experience was great but not worth the price

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We truly appreciate it. We are sorry to hear that the duration of the trip did not meet your expectations and that it felt disappointing compared to what was described. We understand how important clear and accurate information is when planning an experience, and we take concerns about timing and value very seriously. For safety reasons, our crew closely monitors weather and ocean conditions at all times. If swells or conditions change, we may need to return guests to shore earlier than planned. The safety of our guests and crew is always our top priority. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the parasailing itself and that our crew made a positive impression. Your comments help us identify areas where we can improve our communication and overall experience, and we will be reviewing this internally. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Felt rushed

Jessie_S, Dec 2025
Felt like it was too expensive for what we got. The crew seemed like they just wanted to get it over with as fast as possible, bare minimum.

Be prepared to pay a little more when you arrive

Michael_H, Nov 2025
These guys were very professional and helpful. We had a great time. Just be aware, you will end up paying another $100 on top of what you paid for this excursion. You'll pay fuel service charge, parking, pictures, and tip. But, it's Hawaii, so I guess it's par for the course with everything in paradise.

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that our team was professional and helpful and that you had a great time parasailing with us. We also appreciate your note about additional charges, as it’s important for guests to be aware of all costs upfront.
