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.

We had a wonderful time on our Keauhou Sea Cave Kayak Adventure. Our main guide, Kevin, was wonderful. He was very concerned about our safety and enjoyment of the outing. We were able to kayak into a large sea cave before paddling over to our snorkeling destination. Many were adventurous and jumped off the 25 foot high cliff into the water, including my husband! One of our daughters and I snorkeled away from the main group a bit and I saw a few hundred yellow tang - more than I've ever seen before! There were many other kinds of fish there as well as Hawaii's state fish. Our oldest daughter had her snorkeling cut short when she got stung by a small jelly fish on the foot, as did one or two others in our tour, but that's a risk when in the ocean. Kevin and another Ocean Safari staff member who was there with his own tour both checked on our daughter after getting her back in the kayak. We had some snacks on the rocks near the tide pools before heading back to the kayaks for the

As a group of 5, ranging in age from 14-66,experienced and non-experienced kayakers, we had a truly phenomenal time.The expertise and knowledge of our guides Brett and Kevin created a unique and memorable experience for all.This is an activity which we would definitely repeat on a future visit.Water shoes and a good underwater camera are a must!

The kayaking was not as tiring as I anticipated. My kids' highlight of the tour was the 25ft cliff jump (I only jumped the 10 ft cliff). They can't stop talking about it; truly awesome. We snorkeled on our way back from the caves. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this tour and would do it again.

Our guides were great. Activities in and out of the kayaks was always up to the individual. Care was taken to explain and show how to do things. The snorkeling was great and the cliff jump (optional for everyone) was an great from the Top of the World. Excellent snacks after our trip!!

Overall:
Had a great experience overall. Was excited to find a two tank discovery dive. One of dive areas had fish, but the number of fish was slightly disappointing after having been diving in the Caribbean.
Positives: Our dive crew was very friendly and helpful. Our instructor was the owner of the company, Lynn, which was nice. The boat operator was "Q" and he was friendly and did a good job. Overall both of the crew gave lots of good information about starting to scuba dive, tips on what we could do better, and what to do in the Kona area. Beautiful coral in our dive areas.
Negatives: Pricey! (But what do you expect in Hawaii?)

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...

The guides were very skilled and experienced. They were very helpful on the trip. Mid-trip snack could have been a little more substantial, however one can carry only so much on a kayak. There was really one small "cave" to see, but it was still a good time.

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 trip was long and somewhat strenuous. The sea cave was a bit of a let down. It was not as cool as it looked online. The snorkling was great and the tour guides definately knew there stuff. I would not reccomend this trip for a first time kayaker. The water was a little ruff on the way back which made it a long row. For the dare devils there was a 15 foot cliff to jump off. They also provided snacks and juices including fresh pineapple. Overal we had a great time.

This is a great trip and a REAL adventure. This is also a great value. The kayaking on the ocean is fun but can be physically demanding. We are in decent shape but we were pretty tired at the end of the trip. Good snorkling and cliff jumping. The guide is informative and competent.

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.

The tour itself was cool but didn´t hold its promisses/expectations. The abstract about the tour on the internet contained information about the summer tour. So, everybody expected something else. In the end, we didn´t do much on this tour but enjoying ourself, which would have been great if I would have known about it earlier.

The staff was a bit cranky at check in but once things got rolling, I think they woke up and all was good. I enjoyed the snorkle site but the sea cave exploration is little more than "here is the cave, it's not really deep, next please"......overall I had a good time but felt I paid too much for what I got. If you have never been kayaking in Hawaii and want to, then I would have no problem recommending this outfit. I just think you may get more value from a less green more motorized adventure.

This was a great experience for all. The natural beauty was stunning, and the staff was just as great. I wish the water was calm enough to go into sea caves, but the kayak tour did not suffer because of it. Sense of adventure and willingness to put in physical effort is required, but well worth it. Our group did end up with cuts and bruises.

This was a great time. The staff was helpful and friendly in making sure you had a great time. Kayaking was a good and steady pace. Snorkeling was amazing! Being underwater with the fish and coral is a must see! Seeing dolphins playing close by is really neat too.
Cave was a bit disappointing, being only 30 feet deep, you coulnd't really go in them.
If you are up for the extreme, try the cliff jump, its definately a thrill and safe.
All in all, a good experience; great way to spend a morning in Hawaii.
