Board your boat with just a small group for company, and run through safety instructions from the crew. You're also provided with tips for a smooth take-off from the boat.
As the boat cruises along the water, members of your group take turns parasailing. Prepare to be paired with one or two others when you fly, reaching a maximum altitude of 500 feet (152 meters). Take in the bird's-eye views of Oahu, and see the island from an entirely new perspective.
When you return to the boat, sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery and marine life around you. Dolphin and sea turtle sightings are common, as well as flying fish. During December to May, you may also see whales during their migration.
After roughly one hour on the water, head back to your original departure point.

Aloha Shydra, Mahalo for your nice review, I'm happy we made a nice impression.
Tour guides were so amazing and fun really took our whole experience to the next level ! They made sure we were comfortable as possible Mahalo 🤙

Aloha Cheveil, Mahalo for commenting so nicely about our crew, we try our best.
It was amazing! I was very comfortable parasailing with Russell. My husband and I would parasail again 24/7. ❤️
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Aloha Cindy, Thank you so much for your awesome review. I will tell Russell about it, he is one of our best workers and a personal best friend of mine. The heart really touches my heart.
Mahalo
Great crew. Everything was perfect. The view was awesome. Can’t wait to try it again. The pictures they take for you are very clear
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Aloha Charlie, so happy to hear that everything was perfect, thank you for the kind words. Yes, the pictures are forever but hope you do come out again real soon.
Mahalo
Great time!! Beautiful views and only an 60-70 minutes. Our boat was a short walk from the Hilton Rainbow Tower.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Aloha Trey, That's a pretty good set up to just walk outside your hotel and step onto a parasail boat and go for a quick ride nearly at your front door. See you again.
We had a blast! We chose 1000 feet and all five of us loved it. The adults had done it before in the Caribbean but felt way less secure in the harness than here, so this was just carefree sailing. Kids (9,11, and 13) all felt comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Mahalo Kevin, I know what you mean about feeling safe doing it in a foreign country. I got the idea to start this business when I was surfing in Mexico down in Mazatlan. I started this company in 1977 and the safety issues have evolved into being super safe now but I think some of the foreign islands abroad have not kept up with us. Hope to see you again.
It’s so fun and the captain and helpers made it even more enjoyable! This was my 3rd time using this company and will do it again.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Robyn, Mahalo for coming back to my company so many times, that in itself is a great review. Please ask the check-in staff to take a picture of you and give an email address so I can send you a gift. Hope to see you again real soon.
We had an amazing time! The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. They were great with the kids! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking to have fun. We had a ton of laughs!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Aloha Cole, Thank you for the funny review, I had a laugh just reading it. I always laugh so hard when I ride a roller coaster so I know the feeling.
The crew was great. We felt very secure and they explained very well how the parasailing would go. We chose 1000 feet and everyone was glad we did because the views were amazing. We highly recommend this adventure.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you Fredrick,
Happy to hear you chose the 1000 foot ride, it is truly a sight to see and feel.
Our teens LOVED this experience flying side by side, 1000 feet. It was safe, comfortable…and even included a lovely dip into the water. Two thumbs up!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Aloha Amber, Thank you for your nice review. Most people do enjoy the cool dip in the ocean, it makes the ride that much more unique.
Mahalo,
Mark
Everyone from check in and the crew was very kind and helpful. We had a great time with our granddaughters who were parasailing for the first time. We didn’t feel rushed. So much fun.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Aloha Don,, I am so happy that you and your granddaughters had so much fun, hope to see you again.

Our experience was awesome ; It was one of the super easiest tours , can be done with kids and family .
Captains were courteous, friendly and went above what we expected. The family all had a great time and would do it again when we return. Great excursion.
We had an awesome experience. It was my 2nd time but my wife's 1st time to parasail. The crew was awesome and made it a very enjoyable experience. The weather turned out great and our little dip at the end very refreshing. It was nice to have photos uploaded to our phone and given an SD card as well.
Response from Host, May 2026
Aloha Roy, Great to hear you had an awesome time out there. Hope you come back again, your wife might want to go a second time. Photos to save a lifetime!

The crew was personable, could not do enough to make our first time experience amazing! Felt like ohana!
Response from Host, May 2026
Aloha Nadja, those are kind words of enjoyment and well appreciated here at Hawaiian Parasail. Thank you for that!
I had a very pleasant experience staying here. well-organized, and exactly as described. The environment felt safe and peaceful, which made it easy to relax. Communication with the host was smooth and professional—I would definitely recommend this place to other travelers and would be happy to stay again in the future.
The staff was amazing. They were very knowledgeable and made our experience very fun. It was my first time parasailing and they made me very comfortable. I highly recommend this company.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Aloha Margo, very nice words, thank you for that!
Hope you come out again with us.
Mahalo
My wife had a hip replacement and walks slow. The attendant for the Parasail saw her walking and told her she couldn't go on the ride because she has mobility issues. They cancelled us.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Aloha Randy, very sorry for the cancellation. Our insurance company requires us to refuse customers that have had recent surgery or are unable to walk in a normal safe manner. Our business depends on maintaining a very strict insurance policy that has many difficult requirements. Your wife appears to have both, recent surgery and difficulty even walking on a smooth surface. Out on the ocean in a small boat such as our parasail boat has constant rocking and swaying movements that make it difficult for anyone to walk. To parasail, when it's your turn, you have to walk up to the stairs and climb a few steps and walk on the tail end of the boat on a platform to get connected to the parasail. For a person with difficulty walking already that is an accident waiting to happen. I know that was very disappointing and it is for us also, we would like nothing better than to show you a great time, that is what we do. I hope that your wife recovers her walking back to normal and can walk up to the boat strong and healthy like everyone else and then you can try again.
Mahalo,
Mark
We had so much fun. They were organized, engaged with us to make us feel comfortable and gave clear instructions. We loved our photos which was a great deal. I would do this again and recommend to anyone else. Thanks for a great time!

Aloha Jessica,
Thanks for the great review. Happy that you loved our photos, you can look at those for the rest of your life in amazement that you did it.
Mahalo
This was my second time doing this, my niece was scared but once she did it she loved it. Super easy to do and what a view from the ToP!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Aloha Fernan,
Thank you much for the comment, hope to see you and your niece again for a third time. Mahalo
The guide and driver are FABULOUS!!! Experience of a lifetime. The views, the guide, and you were up in the air a long bit. It was wonderful.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
So happy to read your review of your description on how you feel about the excursion of a lifetime. Hope to see you again.
We loved this experience!! They offered a photo package which we were super happy about and the sailing was perfect. We laughed, listened to great music and got a bird's eye view of Diamond Head. We did the 1,000 ft. Highly recommend the tour and photos (they were great!). Thank you!
Wow Jamies boat was top notch! They made us feel comfortable and we laughed so much. Highly recommend for a memorable, safe and first rate experience
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for your thoughts, we always appreciate reviews such as yours.
Crew was professional and efficient. Our boat quickly loaded and got out to the area where the chute was deployed within just a few minutes. So dock to flying in the air was very quick. Flight was fun with interesting things to see from up high.
Response from Host, Feb 2026

Captains were fun and friendly. They kept us all at ease, and were very attentive to my daughter who got sea sick. Great experience for our party of 7
Super fun and exciting. Very quiet and peaceful with a beautiful view of Honolulu while up in the air. 100% would recommend if you’ve never done it before.
The guys were great … they were very friendly … they make you feel relax with the boat ride and the paragliding
We had a blast! The guilds were wonderful and accommodating! They really knew how to have a good time. Recommend by all.
