Hawaiian Parasail & Atlantis Submarine Combo (from Waikiki Beach)

Great experience
Reviewed by: Lisa, 2013/05/15We did the 1000ft option which was great. I would recommend going the whole way and doing 1200ft. Really good way to see waikiki from a different angle, the colour of the water was amazing and being up there was so quiet and relaxing! Getting dunked was great so wear your bathers! Also they took heaps of photos so we were glad we selected that option for $30. The only thing I was a bit disappointed with was that we were pretty rushed through the whole thing. I understand they have time limits, but even allowing an extra 5 minutes would have been better. But overall a good experience that I would recommend!

Fun
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/11/24It was exciting & fun experience. I thought it will be scary, and windy in the air. Instead, it was peaceful and quiet. I wish it was longer. My 74 years old mother enjoyed and wanted to stay in the air much longer.

Awesome!!!
Reviewed by: Mike, 2012/11/08My first time parasailing and I was very nervous. When we got to the dock to where we were going to depart the crew and check in were very cool and assured me that I was going to have a good time. They were right! I had a blast. I was not that nervous going up and being up there for what amounted to be the perfect amount of time(do 600ft or more....it is worth it). Get the photo package....the guys on the boat will take a whole bunch of pictures of you for $30 and give you the SD card when done. It is something that is a must do when in Oahu. Just awesome!

Great time
Reviewed by: Annie, 2012/09/26I attended as a "ride along only" while my husband and daughter parasailed. We ALL had a great time! The ocean was quite rough and it was windy, but the staff was very watchful of the safetly of the guests both parasailing and in the boat. I chose this company because of their concern for safety and they were excellent in all respects. I took photos, but we also purchased those from the company and their photos were much better than mine! The crew was wonderful, the office staff was organized and fun to talk to and the whole experience was most enjoyable! I highly recommend this activity and company to everyone!

800 ft parasail
Reviewed by: Dawn Renfro, 2012/08/25This was my first time parasailing, i was terrified. The crew memebers were friendly, and patient with us(i wasnt listening very well because i was scared). They set us up, explained, and helped out with everything. i switched my ride from 400ft to 800ft before i went on, and they set us up, and even pulled us down when i yelled for them to.
It was a good experience, even though i was terrified. Also, they took tons of pictures while people were up there, and i really liked the fact you got your SD card.

Fun Experience
Reviewed by: Rick, 2012/08/19I got a call ahead of time to confirm my reservations, which was reassuring. The office staff was friendly and helpful. The parasailing experience was great. My wife and son were a bit apprehensive at first, but all went well. The two people running the boat operation were experienced and kept everything running smoothly.

What an Experience
Reviewed by: D. McElhose, 2012/07/31This was definately one of the best activities on our vacation. Our kids had a blast. My wife and I went along just to watch and had a lot of fun also. We were so glad that we had them take pictures for us as they turned out great. From our shuttle driver, to the office personnel, to the boat crew, everybody was wonderful. Highly recommend it!

parasailing
Reviewed by: Connie Colton, 2012/07/29The experience was amazing. The only complaint I have was that we were staying at the Mariot Waikiki and the van driver went to the Waikiki resort to pick us up. We could not find the driver or him us. When I talked with staff trying to locate himshe was rude and said if we did not find the driver in 2 mins he would leave us and there would be no refund.
We ended up finding him in about 10 mins. with the help of valet parkers from out hotel. He did not leave us Thank goodness. The van driver knew we were lost and waited. He was very nice. The staff on the boat were amazing. My 73 year old mother even parasailed and they acommadated her needs. : ) We were there on a make a wish trip, they allowed my 12 year old son who fought cancer last year to go up twice and to drive the boat. They were just amazing!

First time
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/07/25This was my first time both in Hawaii and parasailing. The crew was efficient, and kind. The pictures they took were both well done and affordable. If I had to complain about anything, it would be the lack of life jackets for those who are in the boat. I would recommend this company to anyone planning a trip to Hawaii or looking to parasail.

Great Experience!
Reviewed by: Reina, 2012/07/17If 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

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/05/25The driver who picked us up was entertaining and made the drive enjoyable.

Honeymoon adventure
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/05/18My 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! After we were dropped off, we went into the boat with a group of Japanese tourists. The captian and his assistant were very nice. 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

Daughters
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/04/16my daughters, both in mid 20's, enjoyed the parasailing, said AMAZING!
my experience was a little unnerving, as I knew what not todo, but wasn't sure what TO DO, couldn't relax for fear of doing wrong thing....More specifics on how one can lean, turn or shift weight, hand position on straps...would be helpful, but perhaps I'll venture To try again.....

Awesome Experience!!
Reviewed by: Sharon D., 2012/02/28I was so glad i did it!! I was a bit nervous at first, only chose 600ft line. It was an amazing view, amazing weather, and felt very safe! My dad can't swim - doesn't usually get into the water and afraid of heights, but he himself loved it!! If we were in Hawaii another day, I would have done it again but upgraded to the full 1000ft! I also liked the fact that this company is very safe! They cancelled my first reservation due to high winds & I'm glad they did because the second reservation I made, the weather was PERFECT!! Beautiful skies, water was amazing, and we got to see whales! Loved every moment of it!! Felt so free!!

Parasailing!
Reviewed by: camprei, 2011/09/22This was one of the highlights of my vacation. My husband and I booked this activity before we arrived in Oahu, and I was actually a little nervous about it as it got closer. But, I have to say--this was a ton of fun. The other couples in our group were quite a bit younger than us--we are in our late forties--but I think this activity would be OK for almost any age and level of mobility. The crew was professional and skilled on the water, and everything felt safe and secure. And the ride was fantastic! The crew took pictures of the whole event and the memory card was available for purchase at the end of the ride for $30. These are some of my favorite vacation pictures, and proof to our kids that we did it! The flight itself was gentle. You gained height steadily and the views were terrific. The crew brought you back down, gave you a quick dunk in the ocean and landed you back on the boat. Go ahead and do this!

Amazing!
Reviewed by: Tina E., 2011/09/19As a first time parasailer, I thought it was AMAZING! I would totally go again and recommend that others go too. Hawaii Parasailing is awesome! The boat crew (Captain Jason and, darn it, I don't remember his name) and the shuttle driver were superb!!! They made everyone on the outing feel special and happy. As "bigger" girls, we were thrilled to get to ride together. I have to say that the office staff has something to be desired though. The girls were rude and condesending. I did not like dealing with them. But since we didn't have to deal with them too much it did not take away from the overall experience.
