UFO Parasailing

Reviewed by: Jess C, 2011/10/03

This was such a great experience! The staff was so nice and did such a great job. I would definately recommend this to anyone that would like to see an amazing ocean view and relax while doing so in the air.

Parasailing is a wonderful experience! The fly is peaceful and boasts a beautiful view. The staff is very friendly and make the whole experience enjoyable. We got to see dolphins playing in the wake of the boat. We had a great time. Thank you UFO Parasail!

Great Experience!

Reviewed by: podunktx, 2010/08/25

This was something that I had wanted to do for 20 years, but never really had the opportunity. The crew let the three of us (myself, a friend, and my teenage son) tandem altogether and we all just loved it. No need to worry at all, they put everyone at ease. This really let us have another beautiful vision of some of the Hawaiian Islands.

Amazing Bird's-Eye View

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2010/05/25

I went parasailing with my father (55 years old) and nephew (7 years old). All three of us loved it! My father and nephew went tandem and I took pictures of them. My nephew absolutely loved it, especially when they were dipped in the water on the way back in to the boat. I went up by myself and I can't even begin to describe how peaceful it is. There is virtually no noise and the views are amazing. You can see the coral in the ocean, even from 1,000 feet up! The guides were great; they were fun and knowledgeable. They also had great recommendations for food, drinks, and snorkeling. The price is a bit high but overall worth it. Not only do you go parasailing but you also get a fun boat ride.

Enjoyable

Reviewed by: First Timer, 2010/03/21

My husband, twin daughters (7) and I all tried this for our first time. We were expecting a thrill ride (which is more our taste). It was anything but a thrill, but rather peaceful and inspiring. You just float. You barely can tell that you are moving. The best part of it was seeing the whales from top side like that.

My husband and I both took a turn with a daughter in a tandem fly. They loved it as well. Something everyone should experience.

It was well worth the money. You definately want to pay them the extra to take pictures. We went up the extra feet and also chose to do the "free fall". Neither of which was scary, but enjoyable. I may consider doing it again but would only be determined on what we could see from that vantage point.

Great Experience

Reviewed by: Lisa Y, 2009/10/08

Had the best time parasailing w/UFO! The guys were great!! My friend was a little nervous about going, but they eased her mind. Excellent that they took pix for us. I just went parasailing in Honolulu this week and the company I went with was nothing compared to UFO! No explanations, no joking around, etc...

Reviewed by: Kim, 2009/03/10

This was a wonderful trip. Upgraded to 1200 ft. and a great time was had by all. The staff were so friendly. My kids went up tandem and were delighted to see about 8 whales while they were parasailing. I would recommend this to everyone.

Fun but too short

Reviewed by: Christina, 2009/02/10

This was a lot of fun. We got to see animals in the ocean and the water was so blue. This was our first time to Hawai'i so we had to try it. The staff was amazing! My only complaint would be that the ride was so short. I do not believe that 10 minutes is long enough. But overall it was a lot of fun.

Plain ol' Awesome!!

Reviewed by: JOSHSLANE, 2008/12/03

My fiancee and I went together. It was my first time. I am afraid of heights, so I figured it would be a good way to challenge myself. I had a great time. We went the 1200 ft. option for 10 dollars more. So worth it! I cant wait to go again. So peacefull up there, at the same time exhilarating!!

this was the first time we did parasailing, we really enjoyed it. The staff gave us a good ride, we were up in the air for quite a while. So, you get service what you have paid for it and worths it. I would recommend this activity with UFO.

What a great time! For our first parasailing experience, we could have not asked for a better time. The guys on the boat were wonderful, and put my daughter and myself at ease. This was one of our favorite things we did while on vacation.

We did it! It was Awesome!

Reviewed by: All Around Travel Svcs, 2008/04/17

We range from 10 yrs old to 38 years old, a family of 6. All of us upgraded onboard to the 1200 ft, except me and my 10 yr old. It gives you that much more line, but only a little more height. It seemed so far frolm the boat! The 800 ft was good for me, and it was SOOO peaceful you feel like you are floating! See my lovely pictures below.

Awesome Experience

Reviewed by: Beth & Tina, 2008/04/07

It was a great experience!! Our initially planned time had to be canceled because the winds were too high. However, we were able to reschedule for the following day. In the end, we were the only ones on the boat. Peyton and Dustin were great!! They made sure we were comfortable with the equipment and added to our enjoyment. We would recommend this experience to anyone. Beautiful view -- gotta love flying!

What an experience!!

Reviewed by: ashley, 2007/07/23

Parasailing in Hawaii was my first time ever and it was quite an adventure. You get amazing views and I got to be in the air with my hubby for ten minutes. On the down side, I was expecting this activity to be my faviorite activity that we signed up for but in the end it wasent on the top of my list. Don't get me wrong, if you have never done this before than I would highly recommend it but if you have already expereienced parasailing than I would spend my money on something else. I think that I might do this again in the future but only if it is not too pricy.

Mom/Observer/Previous Participant

Reviewed by: Linda Miller, 2007/06/10

We parasailed during our visit to Kona. My 14-year-old twin sons participated while I observed from the boat. The staff was very professional and even joked with one of my sons who was extremely nervous, setting him at ease before his ride. The ride fulfilled their expectations to the fullest - they wanted to go back up immediately! Pictures were offered - I purchased them but haven't had an opportunity to develop them yet as we just returned home. Didn't really care for the sales pitch of t-shirts, visors, etc. at the end of the ride. As the boys were incredibly excited, I didn't want to disappoint them. I was "encouraged" to spend an additional $75 for t-shirts, which of course, I did. Overall, I would repeat the experience if the opportunity represents itself again!
