a view with a little adventure

Reviewed by: Joe, 2014/07/15

we opted for convenient pickup from our hotel which arrived on time however if you choose to drive - the parking lot seemed empty at the marina. The crew was super friendly and it was a short ride out to open water. Plenty of photo opportunities for Waikiki Beach, surfers and Diamond Head as you had in and out. It wasn't long until the parachute was out and we're up in the air. We did 800 foot line. It's exhilarating yet peaceful up there with great views of the entire island. We were only up there for a few minutes. The crew does take 15-30 pictures while you're up there and will sell it to you for $30 on 4GB SD, which I recommend against it if you already have a GoPro or waterproof camera. Overall I'll say it was a great experience and I do recommend it during your stay.
We'll definitely do this again but with the 1000/1200 foot line.

I have never been parasailing before, but what a way to get introduced into it! We had some of the best crew on the boat and a great and knowledgeable driver there. I would totally recomend Hawaiian Parasail to anyone!!

Wonderful parasail

Such a peaceful experience. A dip in the ocean was worth it. Photos on the boat wasn't too great but we had no viewers on board to take pictures for us.

All seemed normal then........ uh oh!

Reviewed by: Alex S, 2014/06/02

Pick up location is litterally right behind the Ilikai Hotel where we stayed. Crew was fun and interactive. Watched others ahead of us go up and come back and the crew took pictures. We however went up (1000ft) and during our return back to the boat, the hydraulic system failed and caused a large whiplash surge to us. Banged our legs against the line but no real damage. Then I noticed a crew member removing his shirt. Why would he do that? Because he was going to get in the water. So we started to touch down into the water, but unlike the others we did not come back up. The parachute and lines sank in the water along with us and we had to release ourselves from the harness as we were being dragged. The one crew memeber dove in to gather the chute as we swam back to the boat.

Best part? I got the whole thing on my chest mounted GoPro. We were fine and it was still quite fun. We just got a bonus. So why did I give it 4/5 stars? Since I was filming it all I recorded only a little over 7 minutes when it was supposed to be a 10 minute round trip ride. So if you go bring a timer and make sure you get what you paid for.

Other than that I do recommend.

Parasail

Great time! We felt as though we got a "two for one" as we enjoyed the boat ride as other couples parasailed in addition to our parasailing! It was surprisingly peaceful. I also enjoyed doing a dry take off and landing (we also did the water dip).

This was an amazing Thing. The 2 guys operating the boat were great. They took a lot of pics and got probably the $$ shot of the year withplane in the Background. If they ask if you wanna get wet...DO IT. They dipped us in the water 3 times and drug us a Little bit which was AWESOME!!! When I come back I will do it at least twice.

My partner and I did the 1200ft, we are so happy we choose the longer one because the couple that went before us only did a short one and wished they spent a bit more money for the longer one. We had the best time! Everyone we dealt with (driver to location, boat crew etc) were all lovely and made sure we had a good time. We def recommend to everyone and we would do it again :)

Exciting Activity

Reviewed by: Helen Wu, 2013/12/25

This is my first time doing parasailing with a fear of height, so it is almost like a mission impossible, therefore, I chose the lowest height which is 300 feet. it turned out it was not scary at all, I thought i would felt uncomfortable when they lifted us up from the boat, but I didn't. it was very stable when we were up to the sky flying. When we came back, it was not like we were dropped to the water, we landed back on the boat. So for those who thought you would be dropped into water, that is not going to happen. So try this one, I recommend it to anyone who would like a great view of waikiki beach in the sky.

This was the best para-sailing experience we have, we already para-sailed before in Cabo but it was not as good as the Hawaiian Para-sail. I would recommend this to anyone para sailing for the first time or experienced people. The tour guides were amazing as well.

So Much Fun

Reviewed by: Mrs.Moreland, 2013/07/13

We had a blast. My hubby was not so thrilled about me booking this, but when we got up there he was amazed. We went almost 1200 ft up and it was so quiet and peaceful. The guys that took us out were great and it was nice to enjoy the boat ride while others were up in the air. Something I will absolutely repeat. Oh and they offer to take pictures of u while u r up there. we got about 75 pics they give us on a little sd card for $35 way worth it.

Great Experience!

Reviewed by: Reina, 2012/07/17

If you are taking your own transportation to Oahu Parasailing, leave early in order to be on time. It is easy to get lost or stuck in traffic. The staff is very friendly! If you get motion sick then you should take some Bonine or Dramamine before. You will be on a boat with 3-5 other groups. You might get motion sick waiting for everyone to take their turn parasailing. The boat Captain and riggers are really nice. They will prepare you and give you all the rules and safety precautions before. They take safety very seriously here so don't be offended if they yell at you for not following the rules. It's their job to make everyone feel safe and get everyone back to shore in one piece. This is very fun for everyone! It is a nice boat ride and parasailing tour. Do not bring expensive cameras out, you will be splashed by the waves. You won't be soaked after the boat ride, but it’s not worth the risk of ruining your expensive camera. They offer a photo package for 30 dollars. I purchased the

Honeymoon adventure

My husband and I are from Vancouver, BC Canada. We came to Honolulu, Hawaii for our honeymoon. We decided to do something adventurous as newly weds so we decided to do parasailing! It was also our first time! I did a lot of research on the different parsailing companies and found that Oahu Parasailing did not have any accidents at all. They also had very good reviews so I booked with them through Hawaii Activities. We went with the 8:00am departure & 600ft parasail. On the day of, The driver picked us up at the front of our hotel which was in Waikiki. He was very friendly and knowledgable. While he drived us around the city he told us where to go, where to eat, where the best and cheap things were. He gave us great advice!

I told them that we were on our honeymoon and they were really nice to us. As we sailed off, my husband was a little sea sick, that was h
