Kona parasailing

Reviewed by: Joy, 2020/01/02

So fun! Thought it would be scary to up that high, but it was a smooth and carefree ride. The crew was friendly and made the experience great.

GREAT EXPERIENCE

Reviewed by: AJMM, 2017/11/12

There was 6 people in our party it was all our first time and our captains were amazing. They made us feel safe and secure and made sure we had a great time. Definitely will do it again. We did the early bird and it was a great time to be up there to start the day.

Great experience

Reviewed by: Grecia, 2017/09/04

It was a great experience and we would all do it again. The only thing, the captain seemed tired and not as outgoing and friendly. Juan, however, the one who was helping us get strapped in, was very nice and answered all of our questions.

What a ride!

Reviewed by: Sue Fraser , 2017/04/06

Neither my husband nor I had been parasailing before, but opted for the 1,200ft option because we wanted to get the most from the experience. It was so much fun! I though I'd be a little afraid, but after watching the other folks ahead of us (We were one of two parties on the boat), it didn't seem scary at all. Once we got up the view took our breath away so there was no room for fear. We dipped our feet in the water at the end, and wished the ride could've have been longer than the 15-20 minutes. The crew was great and very patient with my seasickness at the end.

Parasailing

Reviewed by: Leretha Farley, 2016/09/07

WE have a great time. The weather was nice and the company was great. We paid for the pictures so that we would never forgot what a great time we had. The part where they wet you feet was awesome. If we ever come back to the area again we plan to try one more time. While up in the air we got to see a school of dolphins.

Great view and great crew

Reviewed by: Steve C, 2016/07/24

This was a great way to get our vacation started. The crew was super. They knew their stuff really well and were great fun. We did the 800ft ride and didn't feel like we missed a thing by not doing the 1200ft ride. Had a great view of dolphins. The onshore staff was very nice too. We were a little late getting there, but they took good care of us and got us to the boat on time.

Great Experience - Once Again!!!!

Reviewed by: Byron, 2016/03/18

We've done this ride several times over the years with UFO and have never been disappointed. Great crew who were both courteous and safe. The weather was perfect and the scenery and water were spectacular. It also was nice having just our family of 6 on the ride as well as it make it more special. Will definitely do it again. Till next time...............

Took my 10 year old daughter for her first time and she loved it. Up 800 feet and surreal. The staff was great and really made you feel safe. If you are going to do parasailing I would use this company. They know what they are doing.

They took their time with us and ensured we had a great time! Would definitely recommend this excursion with UFO Parasailing again!

UFO Parasailing

Reviewed by: Roberto, 2012/05/28

Great staff - very helpful, accommodative and friendly - made the experience very enjoyable. Highly rec going to 1200 ft of line (600 ft up) for the free fall experience and longer ride - worth the extra money. Spectacular views and wonderful, smooth, relaxing ride!

1,200 ft high as quick as a wink

Reviewed by: Satoshi, 2012/05/14

This tour was well-organized and it was very easy to fly. 12 mins in the sky was a terrific experience.
The instructor and the captain were both very nice and quite entertainers.
You can also know how the water is clear in Hawaii.

First time

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/01/02

This was my first time to parasail. I came to Hawaii with my mother who is afraid of heights and water, so I was on my own. It was my first morning in Hawaii and I was not sure where to go. When I called the office after not finding it on my own the lady who answered stayed on the phone talking me through parking then waling from several blocks away. Outstanding service to make sure I was were I needed to be! As soon as I stepped on board both men where ready to answer any questions and talk me through the process with calm confidence. I don't think I could have had a better experience. Thanks to all who worked that day to make my first time a positive experience in what could have been an stressful situation.
