Fun

Reviewed by: Luke, 2021/10/23

I had never been parasailing. It was worth it but your only in the air for a short period of time. Coming from an adrenaline junky, I was hopefully it would be more. Guides were cool and super fun. Wouldn't do it again. But just because it wasn't that big of thrill

Great time!

Booking the activity reservation, awesome.
Friendly reminders regarding my reservation, awesome. The parasail experience, awesome. Only gripe was the not-so-friendly attendant at the window prior to boarding our boat/parasail.

That was scary

Reviewed by: Cassidy, 2018/12/09

They guys were awesome to deal with and worked hard as it was super windy!
We were scared though as the winds were so powerful and they struggled getting the shoot up.

Good times!

Reviewed by: Peter, 2017/08/16

That was an awesome adventure! My brother and I had a blast we just wish the ride was at least ten minutes longer. Besides that the crew was very professional but also new how to have a good time. We would definitely do it again. Although for future customers you should add some time for the price! Thanks.

Fun time!

Reviewed by: Cody, 2017/01/01

We had a great time on our trip and the guys were funny. We went on the last trip of the day and it felt a bit rushed. I paid extra for the Xtreme Parasail package which advertises 10-12 minutes but only got just over 6 minutes from my recorded GoPro time. We ended up going with the photo package and the pics turned out great. Thank you for the great experience.

1000 feet Up !!!!

Reviewed by: Local Girl, 2016/06/06

We did the extreme and went up 1000 feet. What a great experience. Awesome crew, great energy on the boat, easy check in and absolutely beautiful sights. This was my 2nd time with Extreme Parasailing, I'm going to continue to bring all my friends who come on vacation here to parasail with these great guys. Thank you for a memorable experience.

So much fun! We did the extreme package and I wish we had more time in the air. So recommend doing the top package. The guys running the boat were fun and very friendly.

Good Fun

Reviewed by: Brad, 2013/07/22

On time and friendly pick up in Waikiki got us to the dock. Filled out the legal paperwork and boarded the boat within 10 minutes. Friendly crew of two; Jamel the skipper and Gene rigger and photographer. You get rigged at your seat then sit down on the back deck to get hooked up to the parasail. They reel you out to about 1,000ft then real you back in. If you don't want to get wet you have to ask, otherwise you get dunked on the way back in. We also recommend you get the photos; Gene does a good job and you get them on an SD card to take with. Our 14 year old girls really enjoyed it as did the mom and dad; we went up two at a time, but they can take three (and maybe four?); total time aloft was about 10-12 minutes. Total time Waikiki to Waikiki was about 3 - 3.5 hours.

Good Fun & Friendly Staff

Reviewed by: J Johnson, 2013/06/10

The parasailing ride is as exciting as advertised. You need to give yourself plenty of extra time as they tend to run at least an hour behind, but it is worth the wait assuming you have the time. We elected to purchase the photo package for $30.00 - well worth the money. We got great photo's to remember the occasion and something to share with friends when we got back. This is a definite must do while in Waikiki.

First Vacation & Loving it!!

Reviewed by: Mike & Tracy, 2012/11/27

We signed up to do the extreme ParaSailing. We had so much fun. The shuttle picked us up across the street from our hotel. The two guys in charge of the boat were so funny. They offered us a picture package and all of our pictures turned out great! My only complaint would have to be that the ride itself is very short. I wish it would have been longer. We would definantly do it again... Next time to 1000 ft.

It was a great family experiance

Reviewed by: Bob in PA, 2012/08/10

We had a beautiful afternoon for our parasailing adventure. The bus picked up right on time at the location specified. There were three of us in our party plus another mom and her son. Two crew members for a total of 7 on board the boat. The crew of 2 were very friendly and made us all feel at ease. Waters were pretty smooth considering our adventure started at 3pm.
The guys did have trouble deploying the parasail as the cords kept on tangling as they delpoyed it. Sort of made us feel a little uneasy, but you could tell the crew had experianced this issue before as it was quite windy and they did not get flustered at all. We all joked a little about the situation which made the time go by pretty quick. After the 3rd attempt, we were good to go. The views were wonderful and my wife and daughter and I all enjoyed our rides, one tandem and one single. After reading other reviews on this site about having pictures taken by the crew and then the card sold to the customers (which we were co

Gotta try this

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/07/25

I think everyone should experience this at least once. It can be expensive, especially for the length of time you're actually gonna spend in the air. But if you're looking for something new (and does not easily get sea sick), this is for you.

This was our ( my husband and myself) first Parasailing experience, and we'd do it again. Very fun, and also very relaxing. No worries, very safe. The crew was great and did a wonderful job with photographing us as well, which was most appreciated!

Kids loved it

Reviewed by: tessinHI, 2010/07/09

Kids (aged 14 and 15) went up while my 11 year old and I rode along. Seas were a little choppy, but not horrible, yet I still got a little motion sickness. The crew took awesome care of me and showed genuine concern. They took nice photo's of the experience (not of me, thanks) for the kids to enjoy. Huge success for the kids, but if you think you might get the least bit of a queasy stomach, take a pill before boarding! :)

The boater was kind of rude because he intentionally indirectly exaggerated on tips. I thought I paid enough for the ride but well..

Lots of fun, but not long enough!

Reviewed by: OahuFamilyTrip, 2010/04/12

This was a great time for us, BUT the rides are not even CLOSE to the times they advertise. I would not waste your money upgrading to any of the other rides. I timed all three of my wife's and kids rides and they were actually less than 5 minutes from the time they left the back deck til they touched down again. No where near the 10-12 minutes advertised for the Deluxe Ride. They probably did go a little higher than they 850 ride, but the duration was exactly the same.

The ride is great, the people were nice, but the trip is not as advertised.

it wasn't bad...

Reviewed by: trevor, 2009/09/03

the parasailing itself wasnt bad but the staff needs alot of work,..particularly the driver of the shuttle..he was extremely rude and while the parasailing/ boat crew wasnt exactly the most pleasent or talkative they knew what they were doing and they were professional.

Beautiful and Relaxing Experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2009/03/21

Parasailing was the first tour my boyfriend and I decided to do in Oahu. It was very beautiful from 700 feet up in the air and very peaceful. The staff did a wonderful job and we were very pleased. The only disappointment was the $20.00 bills taped up and down the railing of the boat making sure that you knew to tip $20.00. We also did the Shark Tour and ATV Tour and no where else was tipping mentioned like it was here. The staff didn't insist that you tip but the dollar bills there pretty much insisted it which made it a bit uncomfortable. Overall, parasailing was a great choice and we would definitely do it again on a future trip!

Don't really remember how high I went, but it was great. Only think I was missing was a cold drink while I was up there. The staff were great and even gave us a little dunk as they brought us in for fun. Great time for anyone and what a great view.
