Begin your tour at the Ala Wai Boat Harbo. Check in 30 minutes before your set departure time.
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.

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.

Olivia_C, Aug 2025
We didn’t get to go. Booked for Thursday and it got canceled so we rebooked for Friday and it got cancelled again.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Aloha Olivia,
So sorry about not being able to go. Unfortunately this activity is highly dependent on the weather. Those days were high winds that the U S Coast Guard does not allow us to operate in. Our captains could have their license revoked if we ignored their requirements. I hope you can understand. When booking next time please check the NOAA weather report for a nice day while making a reservation.

Professional crew made us feel safe and laugh. It was a good time for all. I was shocked at how peaceful it was up in the air. A smooth, quiet ride in the air. So glad we did this.
Kay_B, Jul 2025
Don’t go with a big group/ viator for the whole booking wrong/ experience was beautiful/ had to cancel and change my whole party of 20- we missed our excursion due to the mix up with viator- the company NEVER reached out to viator to report the issue
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Aloha Kay,
Happy the experience was beautiful. Our boats only hold 12 persons at any time.
Thank you for your review.

First time parasailing for all 6 in our family. It was an amazing experience! Captain James and Luke were awesome! Go parasailing with Hawaiian Parasail, you will love it!!!
SharonDozier, Jun 2025
Good experience. The actual ride lasts about 8 min but the captain / crew is well rehearsed and capable. Pictures were good. It was the last excursion of our trip, not the highlight, but we enjoyed it.
Joy_D, Jun 2025
Such a nice, calm way to soar through the air. Great time. My husband went with our 12 year old son. I went up with our 9 year old daughter. Got dipped in the nice refreshing water by choice.
Michael_F, Jun 2025
Did a triple with my two kids - a fun time! Awesome views and fun boat crew. Would definitely recommend. Chose this company for the value, and it's easily walkable from the main cluster of Waikiki hotels.
