My daughter and I had a great with Hawaiian Parasail. The boat , vest and our harnesses were cleaned before we used them and they limited the number of people per boat.
Crew was nice and we felt safe.
I know you can parasail in lots of places but the view of Waikiki , Diamond Head and the city are incredible as is the ride.
If the ask if you want to get dunked , do it !
They also take photos of you for $30. They take over 100 photos and I felt it was worth the price. They don’t try to do the hard sell on the photos.

My daughter and I went in the morning and they were able to put us on a boat 30 min ahead of our time which worked out great as she had surf lessons later that morning. The crew was efficient, careful and enjoyed what they were doing. We bought the sd card and I can’t wait to look at the pics! We asked not to be dunked but it was just a tad too windy and we understood that they can’t control that. It was no big deal. We both wore our glasses and had no issues. I have back problems sometimes and that was no issue either. It is a great memory I will always have with my daughter!

We had so much fun parasailing with Hawaiian Parasail! The two amazing guys who commanded our boat were so much fun to be with. I regret that I can't remember the captain's name, but the other man aboard was Russell. They were both fantastic, personable, funny, captured great photos for us, talked to us, got the whole boat of people interacting and having fun, played some amazing music, and made us all feel great. It was an experience I won't forget, partially thanks to the great images Russell captured! It was also great because my husband and son and I all got to go together on one sail even though we are bigger. I would definitely book with this company again without hesitation.

Don't let my summarization confuse you, as I will explain. This was the last of four excursions planned for my trip, and I am so happy that we did it last. It was the best of the four.
There were 5 groups of 2 on this trip. Each couple got about 10 minutes in the air. Every time they went up they were asked if they wanted to get wet. Everyone said yes. I am glad we were the last to go. Everyone prior to us were lowered to the water and got there feet wet. When it was our turn, I told the captain "yes, dunk our asses". He did, and it was great. Didn't really expect what happened, but am NOT complaining at all. Can't thank Captain Jamie and his crewman Danillo for the best excursion of our trip. They deserved the tip we gave them. Great personalities and sense of humor. I am just sorry I can't remember the names of the 2 ladies on shore who set us up, but they were just as great as the crew. Definitely worth paying the $40.00 to have them take photos for you. You get them on an SD card at the end of the trip. I highly recommend this excursion and will do it again next year.

I would highly recommend this company for Parasailing! We have never done this before and had the best time. The Captain and co captain on the boat were helpful and fun. They will take pictures of you and there is a $40 charge if you choose to buy them. No pressure if you choose not to get them. We did buy them they had a lot of great shots!

Very professional operation, slick and safe. Wife and I went for the 800ft line... More than enough for us.! All equipment first class, instructions clear and precise but delivered in a well toned manner.
Loved the experience, loved the company especially loved the music..... More ACDC please

This experience was the best part of my trip. It was an amazing experience and the captain and crew are experts. They took tons of pictures and they will download them to your phone for a reasonable price. I’ll do it again if I come back to Hawaii.

My husband is terrified of heights but he wanted to parasail with me while we were on Oahu for our wedding anniversary. Russell made the whole experience so fun and made us feel comfortable and safe. Some people are just special and he is one of those people. 🫶🏽 While we were in the air the sights we saw of Waikiki and the ocean were absolutely breathtaking. Russell takes pictures of you during the entire experience and for $40 you get all of them imported onto your phone and given an SD card of them. If you’re feeling brave and want to experience something beautiful, do this!!! Mahalo from Louisiana! 🌺

They were late. After everybody was done parasailing, they collected our life vests while in the ocean. The captain even sped up. It was scary. I can show video and pictures to the owner for him to believe. Don't risk your life.

The two-man crew were friendly and fun and made our first time parasailing a wonderful experience. There were seven of us aboard and each one of us couldn’t stop talking about it after we were done. I would definitely do this again next time I visit with this company

Hello, Can my sister go on the boat with us if she does not want to do parasailing? if so what is the charge and how do i pay for that?
Written July 18, 2022
Hi My parents would like to do the parasailing, but they do not speak english. Is it possible for me to go with them on the boat and translate for them without doing the parasailing myself?
Written June 30, 2021
Yes, they allow riders for an additional charge. I think you can find it listed in their pricing.

My grand daughter says she would feel safer going para-gliding than parasailing. Do you do para-gliding and how does that maker a safer , more comfortable experience?

Hi, I’ve booked parasailing for me and my friends and it says to contact regarding pick up but the only contact info is a phone number, I am booking from Australia though so wondering it there is another way to contact Hawaiian Parasail, perhaps an email address?
Written November 4, 2018
I would call them when you get there to confirm as well.

Is there a marked difference between the 600 and 800 ft towline?
Written July 1, 2017
We did the 1000 foot line 10 minutes I think we got more like 20 minutes because we went last and they left us up all the way back in. I don't think the difference between the 600 and 800 would be noticeable
Written July 2, 2017
Sure can, just make sure you have a wrist strap

We bought tickets through the military ticket office so it was a bit cheaper. However, I've heard to keep an eye on Groupon because they offer deals through that site occasionally.
