Wonderful Experience

5.00We were the second couple to head up after the boat left the harbor. Once our harnesses were secured, everything happened quickly, and before long we were rising into the air. We chose the 1,000-foot line, which lifted us to around 500 feet above the water. At first, we were both a little nervous, but that feeling faded as soon as we settled into the ride and began taking in the view. From up above, we had wonderful views of Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, the surrounding coastline, and the beautiful ocean below. We could even see the water changing color with the depth. At one point, a sudden gust of wind caught us by surprise, which made for a brief, slightly scary moment, but overall, the ride was smooth and unforgettable. Jaime, the captain, and Russell, the crew member, were excellent throughout the experience—organized, calm, and clearly experienced. Russell was especially impressive, managing to take photos while also helping launch and bring in each group. It was a fantastic way to start our seventh day in Hawaii and easily one of the highlights of the trip. It was definitely worth the price fee they charged. We got lots if time in the air and the length of the overall trip was as advertised. I would definitely recommend this excursion for anyone visiting Oahu.

5.00Russell and Jaime made the trip memorable. Even the staff at the base station was super helpful. They gave us water on a scorching day. We were able to do a 3 person fly up with my 6 years old boy. He had a blast and said it was the best thing ever. You get a great view of the Waikiki area, Diamond head crater, and so much more of the island. It was definitely a memorable experience. They will also take photos for you and you can purchase it for $40 USD and you get a SD card for all the digital copies. Found this be quite reasonable compared to some other activities that we have done. Strongly recommend that you take some sea-sick / motion-sickness medicine before hopping on. The waves out there can be a bit bumpy and the boat goes fast to keep things interesting for the flyers.
Best parasailing on island!

5.00We 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.
