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!

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

Had a great time! My girlfriend and I booked with this company and went out with Sundance, Dawson, and Tyler. These guys were fun and very professional! We had a blast with their karaoke parasailing venture! Would definitely use these guys again!

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.

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

Amazing experience 100/10 Fin and Marty were great and made the experience better. They made it easy to understand the concept and what to do. Also I recommend getting the pictures they take of you, they were great shots. Must do experience, ask for Fin and Marty as your crew.

No hassle refund

Derrill_E, Aug 2026
We had to cancel due to Hurricane Lala but the company refunded our money with no hassles at all - we look forward to parasailing with them next time we visit Waikiki!

unacceptable and such a disappointment

Robert_J, Aug 2026
The worst experience I’ve ever booked with any adventure company or any adventure platform Not only was the Vendor the rudest I’ve ever dealt with. I was explained to the Vendor that a natural disaster had occurred which was a Hurricane Lala in Hawaii. The power going out is an issue on the island since they have the hurricane. I was explaining to the company that we were meeting with that we were not gonna make our time accurately due to 32 floors, not having access to an elevator. Only one elevator was operational in our hotel, making it very difficult for people to get to the room and also leave the building or leave the hotel to make any accommodations that were planned if you were on vacation in Hawaii at the moment. I called the company directly. We had the adventure booked with which was parasailing. The adventure company wanted to charge me extra fees due to us, not making the time that we had scheduled. After I spoke to the rude and unprofessional person that was working at extreme parasailing, I also called viator to let them know what was going on and how rude the parasailing company was and would not allow us to reschedule so we could make our time we had scheduled at a later time on that day. Nothing we did was for seen on our end we were told the elevator will be working that day which it wasn’t which is acceptable due to unseen circumstances with the power and the elevator are not working correctly. after six phone calls I still was not able to get my time rescheduled, nor was I able to get a refund from the company due to a hurricane messing up our plans This is completely unacceptable and I would never in my life waste my time working with his Vendor or working with this adventure company in the future. Sad and pathetic, not only from the vendor standpoint who was orchestrating the parasailing and in charge of our reservation… but also very disappointing from a employee perspective dealing with customer service from this company I’ve booked the adventure with. lesson learned I’ll go to Groupon from now on their customer service and their policies are way more realistic and they definitely have common sense enough to know what’s going on and not have to make seven phone calls. Total spending two hours on the phone not getting a dollar back in our family not being able to do this adventure on our vacation

The crew will walk you...

Charles_B, Aug 2026
The crew will walk you through all steps and anyone can easily do it. Very easy going and it’s a must if you visit oahu

Amazing!!

Emily_R, Aug 2026
Marty and Kyle were great and explained everything in detail. I had done paragliding but this was my first time parasailing. We had a blast!

Amazing Safe Time!

Mindy_O, Aug 2026
Dan and Dawson were excellent. We felt safe and had a blast!!!!! The whole process was great. Would travel with them again!!!

I would do it again and again!

Fadi_A, Aug 2026
You have to go extreme and do the 1000ft, what an amazing experience. This is more than just fun this is a bit therapeutic as well. Being that high up just naturally lifts your spirits. I’m so glad we did it.

First timer

Arianna_C, Aug 2026
The absolute best experience! James and Marty are the best. The best playlist that set the vibes and smooth landing and safe experience.

Great experience

Laura_D, Aug 2026
This was so fun! I was a bit apprehensive, but the crew did a great job calming any fears I had. I would love to do it again!

Amazing first-time parasail experience!!

Tia_Z, Aug 2026
This parasailing experience was amazing!! Our crew, Marty and Jack, were super fun and experienced and made the trip all the more enjoyable! It was a safe and comfortable ride, exhilarating but not scary, and our crew’s energy and music made it even more fun!

Views of a Lifetime
