This was the first time parasailing for me and my brother and it won't be our last. It was awesome. Captain Aaron and Hector were so cool and they made the boat ride out a lot of fun. Seeing the island from up in the air was so amazing. The pictures came out great and we were glad we had them take them. It was well worth it.

My family of 5 had a blast parasailing. The staff were great and made the experience a lot of fun. The time in the boast went by so fast but when I was up in the air, the time seemed to stand still. The ride is very peaceful and the views are outstanding. I didn't even mind the dunk in the ocean on our way down to the boat.
The value of the activities was very high, especially considering the discounted price we received at Hawaii Activities.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the parasailing. It was a tremendously relaxing feeling for both of us. We took the 1000 ft. line and would do it again. Captain Duncan and crewman Kevin were both jovial and attentive to detail. Felt safe at all times.
I highly recommend buying the pictures.

Great Experience! I have skydived before so I wasn't worried, but my husband was apprehensive to go up that high. He had a great time! The staff was great, everyone on the boat enjoyed it. Waikiki beach looked awesome from that high up, and we even had a whale sighting! There are so many companies to choose from, I am glad we choose this one. FYI, make sure you wear your swimming suit!!!

I am afraid of heights but my sister convinced me to go with her. I can honestly say I will not do it again but a girl has to try everything once! The staff was very professional and knew what they were doing. Safety is important to them. Definitely a must do for all, even those scaredy cats like me!

My husband is afraid of heights, so I went up with my sister. It was our first time and had a blast. My husband rode along and watch from the boat. I loved every minute of it. Could have spent all day up in the air. The staff was very friendly.

This was a great time for us, BUT the rides are not even CLOSE to the times they advertise. I would not waste your money upgrading to any of the other rides. I timed all three of my wife's and kids rides and they were actually less than 5 minutes from the time they left the back deck til they touched down again. No where near the 10-12 minutes advertised for the Deluxe Ride. They probably did go a little higher than they 850 ride, but the duration was exactly the same.
The ride is great, the people were nice, but the trip is not as advertised.

My 15 year old son and I had an awesome time and would love to go again! Everything went well, from the online registration to on site check in to the parasailing itself. What really made the trip for us were the two guys that ran the show. They were friendly, polite and put you at ease right away. They totally made the experience. We got the photos and are so glad we did - they turned out great and captured the experience even better than we hoped.

My girlfriend and I truly enjoyed the actual activity even if it was shorter than adverstised. We booked the Deluxe Parasailing which is supposed to last from 8-10 minutes and it only lasted less than 6 minutes...That I can live with, what I truly find upseting is the fact that the tour guide decided to make several political comments about Arizona's illegal immigration laws, and the governement. Regardless of where you stand on certain political issues; individuals representing Xtreme Parasailing should keep in mind that they're providing a fun and hospitable environment for their customers, expressing your opinion on a hot button political issue can create disagreements and while debating is the foundation of democracy, parasailing is certainly the wrong place and the wrong time to do it. I can speak for about 3 additional individuals who shared similar comments once the ride was over.

Kids (aged 14 and 15) went up while my 11 year old and I rode along. Seas were a little choppy, but not horrible, yet I still got a little motion sickness. The crew took awesome care of me and showed genuine concern. They took nice photo's of the experience (not of me, thanks) for the kids to enjoy. Huge success for the kids, but if you think you might get the least bit of a queasy stomach, take a pill before boarding! :)

The boater was kind of rude because he intentionally indirectly exaggerated on tips. I thought I paid enough for the ride but well..

A close friend and I decided that we would each pick an event while visiting Oahu for 5 days. She wanted to do something under the ocean, and I wanted to do something OVER the ocean. After our parasailing trip, we both were AMAZED at how much fun and relaxing it was.
The staff were extremely helpful and comforting when it came to loading/unloading passengers, and they asked everyone if they wanted a brief "dip" towards the end of the flight. (You never get fully submerged in the ocean with the 'dip' but just get a little wet from the waist down.. it is WORTH IT). Everyone on the boat had a blast and on our way back to shore it started pouring rain.. which I LOVED. It was the epitome of a Hawaiian vacation. 82 degree weather and pouring rain with a rainbow.
As for the flight itself, it was extremely relaxing and the views were spectacular. I wouldn't have originally thought that flying 42 stories high would be soothing, but it was. VERY romantic idea for couples.

I love these people! This was the greatest. We reserved 2 for parasailing and 2 observers on the boat. Getting the confirmations online was easy. The directions to the pick-up was simple to find. They picked us up and delivered us back to our hotel. The parasailing itself was da bomb! Our driver and his co-worker were most awesome and very friendly. They did NOT make you give them a tip; you wanted to. They deserve every penny they make! Quite frankly, I could have spent all days with these guys; they were so much fun. It's a quick ride, but the most fun EVER. If you do not do this, you're crazy!

My daughter and her best friend were given a trip to Hawaii as a graduation gift. They went parasailing while there. They had a great time doing it. As a way to remember this once in a lifetime experience, I paid for the 24 exposure roll of pictures to be taken. When they returned home, the roll of film was brought to be processed. We were disappointed when none of the pictures came out. The negatives showed only two partial pictures, neither of which were the girls.

the crew was AWSOME. In fact, the whole day prior to going up my wife was trying to pay me what i paid to no do the event because she was so scared and we even had to go first! I told her to suck it up and it ended up being her favorite event, and we went for the highest one at 500 feet! They guys were careful and kind to help her through it. The ride was beautiful in the air and on the boat! Ignore the reviews that say the guys hastle you for tips and there isn't $20 dollar bills all over the boat. There is some on a pole near the front, maybe 6, and the guys say if you enjoyed the ride tips are welcomed. So if all that makes you feel pressured, then stop whining and enjoy the ride or don't go at all!
have fun!

Both of us being over 50 and not in the best of shape, we had some trepidations about being 500 feet up. Nothing to worry about. First rate captain and crew. Excellent experience. Do be sure to take the dunk at the end and get the pictures.
