James and Marty did a great job and we had a great time my kids 13/15 loved it I often get seasick and they were so helpful and kind! I felt much better with where they told me to sit and if you don’t want to get wet they accommodate that no problem

Sundance and Dawson kept us entertained the entire trip. Best guides ever! My daughter and I were newbies to parasailing and they made it feel like we were pros. Super fun! Definitely recommend this activity with this company.

It was fun. It was just...

Cat_H, Mar 2026
It was fun. It was just my husband and I and then another group of 2 guys. It was fun, and the employees were such a fun vibe! I only gave 4 stars, not because anything was wrong with the experience itself, I just think I thought parasailing was going to be a lot more thrilling, but it wasn’t as thrilling as I thought it would be. But I will preface I am kind of an adrenaline junkie. We did the highest rope which I think was 1,000 feet. It was neat! It probably didn’t help that we did a helicopter ride of Hawaii the day prior haha so I think I imagined the 1,000 parasailing rope would give me somewhat similar views, but it didn’t hit as hard. Great experience for those who really think they’ll like parasailing! Also, we did pay for the photo package, but they gave it to us on a USB drive. I wish they were just digital so we could easily transfer them to our phone without needing a computer.

Sundance and James

Destiny_B, Mar 2026
James(Sprinkles) and Sundance were amazing! A very good pair! Thank you for the experience. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Fun but choppy

Kate_C, Mar 2026
The captain and first mate were friendly, efficient and skilled. The parasailing part was great. The water was very choppy in between hooking up new riders and it made many people sick. I would avoid a choppy day in the future.

My experience was...

Brian_W, Mar 2026
My experience was cancelled due to the weather in Hawaii at the time and Viator still charged me although an cancelled event email was sent out to them.

First time parasailing...

Robert_B, Mar 2026
First time parasailing and really enjoyed the experience. The hook up, take off and flight was safely done by the staff and it surprised me how smooth the entire ride was. Had to downgrade one star due to the constant rap music with some very questionable lyrics being being played on the boat, especially with some younger kids being passengers.

Our first time as a...

Carolina_F, Mar 2026
Our first time as a family had our girls of 14 and 9 yrs of age . Scared and nervous and the crew made it so comfortable and a great experience for all.

Parasailing and a comedy show!

Sundance and James are very fun and entertaining while not even trying to be the parasailing was hands down the best part of our Hawaii trip they engage with each person on the boat and make sure you get what you paid for

Great experience!!!

Anari_J, Mar 2026
It was our first time parasailing. My husband also have a fear of heights and water. But starting from check-in till even after the experience, the crew was incredibly nice and accommodating. Special shout out to Chelsea, James and captain Marty!! Highly would recommend. After this experience we decided to do bottom fishing with the same team and additional crewman Tyler! It was such a blast!
