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.

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.
Robyn_G, Aug 2026
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.
Cole_R, Aug 2026
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!
Frederick_S, Aug 2026
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.

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!

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.

Randy_W, Apr 2026
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
