James and (I can't remember the other guys name, sorry!!) Were amazing! This was definitely 1 of the many highlights of our trip. They took great pics for us. Explained everything, were funny, and made us feel like we had been friends forever.

What an amazing experience! The crew was absolutely top notch, our experience was seamless from start to finish. The view was stunning, looking out over the entire shoreline was gorgeous! We purchased the on-board photos and those were definitely worth it, very high quality and multiple great shots. 10/10 would absolutely recommend this!

Sean and Finn rock!!! bucket list Oahu

Jacqueline_T, Oct 2026
Parasailing is not hyped up enough!!! It is so fun, peaceful and an adventure like no other all in one. Second time booking with this company as they were so amazing on my honeymoon. Sean and Finn were the best they made the whole trip and experience exponentially above and beyond!!!! Also Finn does fantastic photos pay the fee for the photos I was so impressed! Must do in Oahu!!!!

Best parasailing experience ever

Ok experience, but better bring your wallet.

Hon_Y, Oct 2026
The experience itself was okay, my son enjoyed it. Crew was excellent, but ride itself is very short. The part I didn't like was the fuel charge and watersports use fee, which added an additional $18 for the two of us. Fuel charge, huh? How is parasailing supposed to work, anyway? Isn't that on a boat? Or were we going to run real fast and hope for an updraft? Seems like a last minute cash grab IMO, but then I remembered this is Hawaii, and it's all about the cash grab from tourists here.

Awesome experience!

Kristina_L, Oct 2026
My mom wanted to try parasailing and had the best time ever!! I enjoyed watching from the boat and also had a lot of fun! She said it was really smooth and gentle. We got a lot of really great pictures too and lots of aloha vibes! You’ll enjoy it too! Watch out, it might shake you quite a bit on the boat ride on some bigger waves I hit my elbow kinda hard, it still hurts.

Caroline_E, Sep 2026
Amazing experience with a great crew on board, felt safe and secure as we went up 700ft in the sky! Would’ve loved more photos capturing how high we went, as they were a paid extra.

So much fun! These guys are amazing and the ladies in the booth were helpful. This was my first time parasailing and it was more than I could have hoped for. The boat experience was fun with lively music and great humor. I would even ride again for the boat experience

Finn and Captain Marty...

Bethany_F, Sep 2026
Finn and Captain Marty were amazing! This was my first time parasailing, and going alone made me a little nervous. The whole experience was incredible; fun, beautiful and a must-do! I would absolutely do it again and even purchase the highest line length. I was paired with another person on the boat who was willing to go again and she was so sweet. I couldn’t have had a better time and I’m so glad I went!

Amazing!!

Allyson_S, Sep 2026
