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.

Was such a nice experience. When you are so far up in the air it seems so quiet and peaceful. Hawaii offers a great view. The crew rocked! Booking through Hawaii Activities was VERY easy and made check-in much faster!!

the parasailing itself wasnt bad but the staff needs alot of work,..particularly the driver of the shuttle..he was extremely rude and while the parasailing/ boat crew wasnt exactly the most pleasent or talkative they knew what they were doing and they were professional.

I was really scared to do this but my 14 year old son wanted to try it. The staff is so friendly and helpful, and professional with the equipment. They are also really funny and nice. They tell you exactly what you need to do. It was fabulous! We had the best time, and loved the experience. The crew is great. They will even take pictures for you for an extra fee of $15 (you take the film home.) Don't forget to bring money for a tip. You don't really need the extra towels, change of clothes, and you can buy water there. If I return to Hawaii I will do this again!

This was the first time every for either one of us to go parasailing. What a great time. The staff was very helpful and made sure that we all felt safe before we went up. We only went up 700 feet next time (and yes there will be a next time) we will go up higher. Once you are in the air you get a birds eye view of Wakiki beach. Don't worry about bringing your camera up with you because the staff will take about 15 or so pictures of you while in the air for a small fee. We also like the fact that you get lifted from the boat itself and not being pulled from the beach. The staff also keeps any eye on you while you are in the air to be sure that you are safe at all times.

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.

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

We thoroughly enjoyed our trips aboard the Makani (so good we did it twice)!!
The boat is modern and very roomy. The crew without equal (especially canine "Captain" Pal)! On our first sail, we were treated to a fantastic show by a large school of dolphins. Pal (all 9 pounds of him) dove off the stern to swim with his "buddies". Not expected, but nonetheless unforgetable.
The scenery, crew, and value of this adventure are unmatched anywhere on the island in our opinion. Thanks, John, for the great times. We'll be back soon!

We enjoyed eating our part of the catch the next day. I will recommend you to my friends visiting Honolulu in the future and will look forward to another fishing adventure when I return.

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

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

Captain Jon was highly skilled, very confident, which made us all feel very safe, which was even more important because we had small children on board.

We did the Makani Catamaran breakfast day cruise as a family and it was one of the most relaxing activities we did in Hawaii. The views were beautiful and the crew was extremely accommodating and informative when we had questions. We were there in late December so we were hoping to see whales & turtles but only saw dolphins, but the dolphins were delightful, they were spinner dolphins and they gave us a show and also swam right alongside the catamaran so we were able to see them very close up and get pictures. My kids are 15 & 20 so they also enjoyed it. There was a family with a young child and he seemed to do well, but if you have children that do not like to be somewhat contained for 2 hrs or are prone to getting out of control I would not recommend it for them. This is not a place for toddlers and small children to be running around. I would do this cruise again if we went back and I highly recommend it to others.
