Staff was very friendly, very experienced great boat. Bring your own shade. Change of clothes. Paraselmin', what's excellent great experience for first timers
Imani_W, Jul 2026
I think the experience was really nice mainly the boat ride, honestly I would just choice to be the observer instead of going up in the air to be honest. In the hair you kind of just sit there and you don’t really feel yourself really moving and it’s a bit scary just dangling over water basically so I would buy that again, BUTTTT the boat ride was awesome 10/10 super fun and lit lol the people were funny the music was good the boat was moving fast, all around it was fun, if I was to go again I would choose to go observe but overall 7/10 experience.
tracypea, Jun 2026
Sooooo fun! As first-timers, my daughter and I were both a bit nervous... ok terrified. Everything went so smoothly. We were up in the air before we knew it and my goodness the view was breath taking from 1000ft above! The crew was fantastic! They added in a ln extra ocean dip in honor of our birthdays, lol! Super dope (as my daughter would say) experience. Will absolutely do it again. Highly recommend 😁
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Aloha,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're so happy to hear that you and your daughter had such a fun and memorable first parasailing adventure with us. It's completely normal to feel nervous before takeoff, and we're glad our crew helped you feel comfortable every step of the way.
Celebrating your birthdays with an extra ocean dip makes the day even more special, and we're thrilled you enjoyed the incredible views from 1,000 feet above Waikiki. Hearing that you would absolutely do it again is the best compliment we could ask for.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to celebrating with you both again on your next visit!

I am scared of heights and tried this out with my mom for our first time in Hawaii. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Although we paid for the whole shabang- the staff respected that we wanted a shorter flight time and we enjoyed it! I would definitely do it again…it was so peaceful!

Prices online are different than in person. Customer service is key - I felt like they were more concerned about getting the money than the customer’s experience. Kids enjoyed the brief ride. I’ll pay more next time somewhere else.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Aloha,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.
We would like to clarify that our online prices are the same as the prices offered at check-in. If you were referring to the fuel surcharge, this is listed in the exclusions section on the booking page prior to purchase and is also included in the confirmation email sent after your reservation is made. We understand that these details can sometimes be overlooked, and we apologize for any confusion.
We're also sorry to hear that you felt your experience lacked the level of customer service we strive to provide. We take comments like yours seriously and will share your feedback with our team as we are always looking for ways to improve.
We're glad your kids enjoyed their parasailing adventure, and we appreciate you giving us the opportunity to be part of your visit to Waikiki.
