Parasailing Hawaii Ride by X-Treme Watersports [700ft, 850ft or 1000ft lines]

Great Fun

Reviewed by: Iowa Couple

We had always wanted to try parasailing. It was fantastic. We were so high in the air that the people on the boat looked like ants. It was a great way to see the island from the air. We were laughing and having a blast. The transition on and off the boat was very smooth. They took pictures for us and only charged $15 and gave us the roll of film to develop. The shark cage tour wanted $60 for the video so we bought the pictures from this tour.

Great!

Reviewed by: Elisa

My husband and I did this our first day and I was a little nervous about it, but once you get up in the air its so cool! I didn't know just how bad my husband was afraid of heights cause he got pretty scared, but you're attached to a parachute! I felt bad for dragging him up there with me, but I really loved it - a once in a lifetime thing, so why not do it while you're in Hawaii? I also read some other comments about how there was pressure to tip, but I didn't feel that way, yeah, there were 20's taped to the boat and they did ask that we "take care of them" but I thought it was only proper to tip so I gave them 10 bucks for the both of us. Don't let something like that ruin, or keep you from trying this. It was Awesome! FYI: bring a waterproof disposable camera up with you for some great shots!

It was awesome. It was our first time and the staff was very knowledgeable about every aspect of the activity. They both were very friendly, took pictures, and answered questions. We would recommend this to everyone. You have a beautiful view from up there. Was a little scary at first, then you relax and enjoy the view of beach and Diamond Head. Would do it again

Very exciting and fun

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

I'm in my mid 60's and was with my son and grandson. We all had a great time. I was able to conquer my fear of heights and experience the feeling of flying. The view from up above is awesome. Don't let your fear stop you! One hint, close your mouth before the dip! lol. The staff was friendly, courteous and competent. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

They put me with 2 other strangers

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Before I book this activity I thought as an individual, they will put myself on the "parachute" only, but they weren't, they simply put me with two other strangers together, I don't even know them, I feel so bad. That's why I didn't leave them a penny. The shuttle drivers is a nice guy, I leave him 10 bucks.

Parasailing Great, SeaBreeze Okay

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Would absolutely a hundred percent recommend parasailing to anyone and everyone. It was our first time and it was thrilling--not scary at all. For the price and the length of the event, this company was fine, but there was no friendliness, no smiles, no checking on how we were doing. They had signs everywhere asking for tips but they did absolutely nothing at all to earn them. Additionally, the lobby and office was heaving Japanese-geared, most of the prominant signs are in Japanese and the lady at the front desk was difficult to understand through her accent.

1ST TIME AND WILL DEFINITELY RETURN

Reviewed by: MOESYN

My husband and I went parasailing for the 1st time.
ALL WE CAN SAY IS THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE BEST THING WE DID WHILE WE WERE IN OAHU!
There were 3 men who took us to this extreme ride.
(A captain, a parasail instructor, and another guy who helped) and they were all awsome! Very friendly, knowledgable guys who made us feel comfortable from start to finish. The parasail instructor, we forgot his name, also took our pics from the boat while we were on the ride and after developing them, took some great shots! He was great! By the way, they will offer to take a roll of pics for you and it's $15 for the whole 24 exposure film.
Some reviews seem to complain about tipping and how they felt uncomfortable that there were signs up almost begging for tips. It was totally not like that in our case. Sure, it did say "TIPS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME" butin no way did it seem unappropriate. They totally deserved our tip!
The ride itself was breathtaking... we went so high up (1000 ft, i beleive? it

EXTREME Value

Reviewed by: KB

This was my first time ever para-sailing. I went with my boyfriend and signed up for the standard package for 350ft. However, to our suprise, the boat man gave us all 3 couples on the boat the extreme package at no extra cost. It was awesome after all, at first I was hesistant of going so high up in the air because I have a slight fear of heights but, once your up there you dont feel it at all. So that was a great plus. They also offer photography on the boat so dont bother bringing your camera up there unless you have a water proof pack with a zoom lens. The only gripe we had was that we took that offer to have them help us photograph the ride, but his shutter was defective that day and our pictures didn't turn out. We went back to show them what happened and they refunded the cost to us. so overall i'll go again if i ever return to Hawaii

Reviewed by: Lisa T.

This activity was a lot of fun. My husband went along with me as an observer. I got a lot of great pics. The price of the pics were a little too pricey. It was $30 for a disc of digital photos.

I did the "extreme" which was a lot of fun. They dunked me in the water twice and the view from the sky was beautiful. The guys on the boat had a great since of humor too. I plan on doing the jet ski activity on my next trip to Hawaii.

I would recommend this to anyone who isn't afraid of heights.

Overall this was a fun activity, the kids loved it. Ride was kinda short compared to the cost, especially when you factor in the fact that you are charged individually but they fly you in pairs.
The crew did everything they could to make sure that we were enjoying ourselves.

x-treme parasailing

Reviewed by: skeen

Parasailing is fun. x-treme parasailing was not worth the added expense. We saw no difference in the duration of the ride. In fact other riders who did not pay for extreme were given equal and/or better experiences. (ie..same duration and being dunked, also boat pulling them). Honestly, we felt a bit cattled through the process. Would parasail again, but not the x-treme parasailing. Save the added money for something else!

Greetings from California!

Parasailing for the first time was amazing! My friend Jasmine and I didn't know what to expect and we were definately pleased with our parasailing adventure, friendliness of the staff, and overall experience! The motion of the ocean unfortunately did get to Jasmine, so here's some advice to those who get motion sickness - bring the Dramamine! Other than that, no complaints from us! We highly recommend X-treme parasailing!!!

Uncomfortable

Reviewed by: Tiffany

This was the first activity we had planned on Oahu. The actual Parasailing time was wonderful!!! The time spent on the boat with the workers was horrible. To start they wanted us to pay them $15 to take pictures of us (even though the other people in our group were going to do it). When we declined their offer the crew made rude comments almost constantly during the boat ride. (Is he always this cheap? Must be they are saving their money for a sunny day!!! Not good Aloha.) The boat has writing all over it that, "Good karma starts with good tips" and "Tipping is WELCOME." There are $20bills taped all up the handrail as a "suggestion" on how much to tip. Don't forget the 3 times that the crew mentioned that we should not forget to tip them for their hard work! The time spent on the boat was very uncomfortable but parasailing was awesome. In the end I did tip them (only because I felt so uncomfortable) and I am still regretting it.

Just there to make a quick buck!!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

We paid for the Deluxe package which is $20 more than the Standard package in order to go up to a higher height, and for 5 minutes more of flying (than the standard's 8 min). Well when we went out no matter what package you purchased, you only got 5 minutes in the air. TOTAL RIP OFF!! AND to top it off, by the end of the trip the 2 workers ASKED FOR $20 tips from everyone!! The actual flying was fun, but they should give you what you pay for.
