The parasailing was a lot of fun. You go up and you sit in the sky for about eight minutes. The views are amazing, but your time seems a little short. It's very relaxing though, and the staff was definatly having fun with their job. The only thing that was a little surprising was the fact that they advertised literally exactly how much they were expecting to be tipped. At least $20. Other then that it was alot of fun.

We enjoyed the parasailing part of the activity and the transport bus was timely and clean, but the overally experience was tainted by the heavy handed demand for $20.00 tips. Like having dinner at a nice restaurant where the waiter recommends/ demand to know the amount of your intended tip before he/ she recommending the catch of the day.
the blatant tip demand unfortunately tainted an othewise nice activity. We did tip and would have without the demand for tip, but the demand made me feel unwelcome. wouldnt come back only because of that.
other than that it was as advertised and enjoyable. maybe you dont care or want repeat business. mike.

Parasailing with X-treme Parasailing was a wonderful activity. I thought it would be scary, but in actuality it was a very relaxing experience that I'll never forget. If you listen to the instructions the crew give you, your ride up and back down will be smooth and comfortable. Once in the air, you will experience a wonderful peace as you float high above the water.
I would highly recommend this activity to a wide range of people. We had a 3rd grader and a 62 year old on our boat, and each of them LOVED their parasailing experience. The crew was fun and put every one who was a little nervous at ease with their years of experience and humorous comments. Tipping was optional, and in no way did the crew make me feel like I HAD to tip. I was, however, happy to tip them for the great job they did!

We paid for the Deluxe package which is $20 more than the Standard package in order to go up to a higher height, and for 5 minutes more of flying (than the standard's 8 min). Well when we went out no matter what package you purchased, you only got 5 minutes in the air. TOTAL RIP OFF!! AND to top it off, by the end of the trip the 2 workers ASKED FOR $20 tips from everyone!! The actual flying was fun, but they should give you what you pay for.

This was the first activity we had planned on Oahu. The actual Parasailing time was wonderful!!! The time spent on the boat with the workers was horrible. To start they wanted us to pay them $15 to take pictures of us (even though the other people in our group were going to do it). When we declined their offer the crew made rude comments almost constantly during the boat ride. (Is he always this cheap? Must be they are saving their money for a sunny day!!! Not good Aloha.) The boat has writing all over it that, "Good karma starts with good tips" and "Tipping is WELCOME." There are $20bills taped all up the handrail as a "suggestion" on how much to tip. Don't forget the 3 times that the crew mentioned that we should not forget to tip them for their hard work! The time spent on the boat was very uncomfortable but parasailing was awesome. In the end I did tip them (only because I felt so uncomfortable) and I am still regretting it.

The X-Treme Parasailing in Oahu, 1050 ft in the air looking at the Wakiki and Diamond Head, definately can't be missed.

GREAT

My husband and I actually booked the parasailing the first day we got there. The staff members were outstanding and great that we booked the Screamer ride the second day we were there. I would totally recommend anyone to try it.

We found the experience to be wonderful! The staff was fun and very friendly and we loved the pictures that they took for us. The parasailing itself was a once in a lifetime experience that I will always remember. I will definetly recommend this to anyone I know coming to Hawaii!

I was so nervous before embarking on my parasailing adventure, but the friendly staff made me feel at ease and the experience was so much more than I could have asked for. Being in the air over the open sea with a full view of the island was so serene. I look forward to doing it again, next time I'm on the island!

Parasailing is fun. x-treme parasailing was not worth the added expense. We saw no difference in the duration of the ride. In fact other riders who did not pay for extreme were given equal and/ or better experiences. (ie..same duration and being dunked, also boat pulling them). Honestly, we felt a bit cattled through the process. Would parasail again, but not the x-treme parasailing. Save the added money for something else!

Greetings from California!
Parasailing for the first time was amazing! My friend Jasmine and I didn't know what to expect and we were definately pleased with our parasailing adventure, friendliness of the staff, and overall experience! The motion of the ocean unfortunately did get to Jasmine, so here's some advice to those who get motion sickness - bring the Dramamine! Other than that, no complaints from us! We highly recommend X-treme parasailing!!!

Flying at 850+ feet I saw alot that many people don't see. It was a beutiful view!!

Overall this was a fun activity, the kids loved it. Ride was kinda short compared to the cost, especially when you factor in the fact that you are charged individually but they fly you in pairs.
The crew did everything they could to make sure that we were enjoying ourselves.

Our overall experience was great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The boat ride was very smooth and fun. The parasailing liftoff/ landing was very gentle and easy from the back of the boat.
You have the option of getting dunked, which we did, and it was a blast.
There ws another family on the boat with us that 1/ 2 didnot want to get dunked and the other 1/ 2 just wanted to get their feet wet; our driver was so good that he dunked them just to their ankles; it was a perfect feet dunk.

It was enjoyable I would suggest this very much.

Just an outstanding experience! Each time gets better and better!!
