This provider had such great ratings that even when they showed they were full on the 3rd party app I was using for all my Hawaiian excursions, I sought them out specifically by going to their website directly. Hawaiian Parasail Inc ended up moving our scheduled time earlier by 30 minutes, but this didnt bother us at all because we were trying to get an earlier time but couldnt find a time slot that would fit a party our size. They communicated with us amazingly, let us know about the time change the day prior, and gave us directions of where to go.When we met up, things went smooth. We had a TON of fun with our 3 teen daughters and me and my husband. This was our most loved adventure during our 8 day vacation. We were with another family of 5. My 3 teens flew together and my husband and I went together. We paid $30 for the SD card with all of our pictures on them. The views while we were flying were amazing and while we were in the boat. It was INCREDIBLE! Thanks for a great time!

This was one of my highlights visiting Hawaii. This was so fun, thrilling, and a rush. I would highly recommend this to anyone that has or has never been parasailing. Also, go with the longer or higher height. I believe they offer two choices, choose the more expensive one, you won’t regret it!

The host (if thats what hes called) was awesome. He made it fun! And eased some nerves. Hes really great at reading the personalities of people and how theyre feeling while up in the air, my sister and I loved being dipped in the water, so thats what he did! Its a completely different world when youre up in the air.

If you decide to go parasailing then this is your only choice. The staff is friendly and explain everything for the first timers. We had a blast and will definitely come again when we visit Hawaii the next time.

Amazing opportunity and one of the best adventures to do on Oahu. The crew was so awesome and I think that made it even better. The beautiful view of the coast line was just spectacular. Definitely do the 1000 to get a little extra time in the air. The crew was well versed and definitely had their routine down. My 6 year old went and although a little scared, in the end he was having such an awesome time. 👍👍👍👍

I wish I could remember the names of the men that took us out because they were amazing. There was 4 in our party and we enjoyed every minute of it. Highly recommend this company for your parasail fun!! The gal that checked us in let us sit in their van and wait out the rain, above and beyond.

I am not a fan of heights and was hesitant to do this but I am glad I did. The operators were great and it was evident they had a ton of experience. We could get all the photos for only $30 which seemed very reasonable for that type of thing. The equipment was in great shape which was reassuring and after getting up in the air the view is amazing and it is actually quite calming (you just glide instead of being in the boat in which you feel the waves, etc.). Overall, the experience was great and I would definitely do it again.

Such a great choice! We took our 4 kids with us last year and this year just my husband and I. They were so good with the kids and made them feel comfortable. They also made it fun for the kids. Love love love it! The pictures they took were amazing and worth the extra money too. They are a must!

This, so far, has been the highlight of my trip to Hawaii! I was hesitant because of my fear of heights, but I would do it again any day!The captain, Jason, and mate Jerry (?) were phenomenal hosts! It was my first time but they made it easy to get the gear on and hooked up. Everything looked like it was in great shape and I felt completely safe.I thought the ascent and descent would be much faster and scary, but it was extremely smooth and relaxing! Jerry took a bunch of photos and the price was great! I would definitely book again with this company!!!

10/10 experience. Very efficient getting people on and off the parasail, never had to wait long in the hot sun. So peaceful in the sky. The guides were knowledgeable, entertaining and for $30 you get to keep all the photos they took of you!

The parasailing for itself is amazing, I really recommend you give a chance for this adventure, but most important, I recommend to do it with Hawaiian Parasail, they were amazing, very polite, very helpful and very thoughtful and beyond their job.Noemi and Loki are very efficient to help you with any situation.And the crew guys were very professional and funny at the same time, turning everything into a great day.

Great kiosk personnel and great boat crew! Definitely a must - do in Hawaii (go for the 1000’ line and ask to get dunked in the water!!) Put in “Hawaiian Parasail” to get directions to their check - in kiosk instead of the actual harbor address. We bought the photos ($30 for your own SD card) and think they were absolutely worth it. PSA: DO NOT EAT before going parasailing - you will most likely throw up.

Hawaiian Parasail was organized, communicated details and was fun. Loved the experience. Would recommend them. Plan on going again. We did the 800 foot flight which was peaceful and relaxing. Look forward to trying the higher one (1000 ft.).

The entire experience was fantastic once we entered the boat. Our captain and helper were funny and amazingly charismatic. The boat ride alone is worth the price, much more the actual parasailing itself.

Review №17

Easy to book, friendly and professional staff, excellent experience! Felt completely safe the entire time. They took pictures of us while parasailing and was only $30 for 80 photos!!! If you chose to buy the photos they come on an SD card. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend.

Review №23

Canceled upon boarding time. We had to arrive early to kill time, come back for canellation. If it was not a good time to book, that should be a recommendation upon booking. The cashier told us to book first thing in the morning for best results. We have to call for a refund which shouldnt be my problem. In addition trying to pressure my husband to go on the sail against his wishes. Not to mention folks had continued to sail even since they turned us away from our appointment. I wouldnt recommend this company.

This was an amazingly fun adventure for my daughters and I! The captains were both informative, funny and comforting to those of us who were parasailing for the first time. The ride and experience was absolutely epic! Will def use this company again!

The experience was amazing just very disappointed I paid for the 1000 Which should have gave me and my daughter 10 minutes in the air I had my GoPro going the whole time when I got back and watched It We were only in the air 5 minutes and 20 seconds.... I would definitely recommend parasailing just go through a different company

These guys were awesome!! What an amazing experience. Jamie and Jerry were the best captains/flyers/camera guys ever and we loved every second of it. My 11 year old son said it was the best thing hes ever done in his life. If we go again... we are are definitely choosing Hawaiian Parasail.

The boat crew with captain Jason Webb and co captain (forgot his name) were really awesome. The lady sitting in the front desk was also nice. My guess is if you have the right folks you parasail with then the overall experience becomes even more wonderful. Don’t time yourself just enjoy the ride, the view and the experience…

Review №32

What a blast. My son was a little nervous about going on this parasailing adventure, but he quickly got over it. We were the last to board the boat, so we got to go first. We did the 1000’ line, which was the best way to go. It’s not much more money, and you get a lot more time in the air.

Review №35

The parasailing was a lot of fun. It was very windy, and they warned us about it. The approach to the boat was rough, and we caught a gust right as we were being pulled into the boat, which made us go sideways into the water and we hit the side of the boat. The captain and crew recovered very masterfully, and were able to get us back in the air and back safely into the boat.After that they made the call to cancel the rest of the afternoon due to wind conditions.So a fun activity, and although a little scary due to the wind, they showed good experience handling the unexpected

The crew was super fun and personable, loved the experience and felt very safe and taken care of. The only critique I had was the site said fly time would be 10 minutes and it didn’t feel like we were really up there that long, but this is a good place to go with for parasailing anyway. They will take good care of you that’s for sure

Review №40

We had an excellent time actually parasailing; however, the boat was 20 minutes late picking us up, and the two captains/crew we had with us were pretty rude and unprofessional. Both were on their phones at various times, one even taking a phone call during the trip and turning down the music so he could hear the person on the other line. Neither really spoke to the passengers... When we got on the boat there was no safety briefing or even a welcome– they immediately took off and started throwing life vests at us. On the way out a few people were scared about taking off, and instead of trying to comfort them one of the crew members response was too bad, youre going first. A fun activity in itself, but I was pretty disappointed by their staff.

We had a Blast! My husband and I did the 1,000 ft parasail. Jason and Diego did such a great job. Hawaiian Parasail was so accommodating, rescheduling us last minute. You do get wet and you can bring your phone with you when your in the air (at your own risk). There is a cubby to keep your belongings underneath the seat, so it doesnt get wet. They do take photos and sell an SD card at such a great rate! Bring some cash to tip the crew!

Review №44

Really disappointed. The day before my husband and I were set to parasail we got an email that our booking was cancelled and refunded. We didn’t even get a courtesy call. When we called on our own for further details, no one bothered to answer. We were really looking forward to this and were pretty bummed that no one offered to even reschedule us.

Review №45

This was me and my bf’s first parasail experience and we were the last flight of the day. It started out great, but near the end of our flight, the boat operators lowered us down to the water while still driving fairly fast. He then unexpectedly dragged us waist deep across the water for a good 10 secs as we twisted around violently and had water gushing in our faces and it felt like we both were drowning. When he finally pulled us up both of our shorts (not loose fitting) were completely pulled down to fully expose our butts and almost our fronts. My boyfriend was also pulled very far out of the harness.To make things worse, I signaled with my hands down to the operators to lower us back down. Instead of lowering us, the operator pulled out his personal phone and started taking photos.After landing us back on the boat, the operator made a joke to my boyfriend, whose pants were almost completely off, that they usually “try to get girls that good.”Saw a bunch of other TripAdvisor reviews claiming a similar experience, and the response from the company seems to always be that “the weather can be unpredictable and even the most experienced boat riders can have difficulty reeling people in without dipping them in the water.” That I can understand, but what happened to us was clearly intentional, unsafe, and down right humiliating.

This is the second time we have parasailed. We chose Hawaiian Parasail again because of the wonderful, amazing people that work there. Although we LOVED parasailing, I think we loved the laughs, the music and the amazing atmosphere more because of the the guys on our boat! I will forever be a loyal customer! Love, Kat from WA

Review №55

We arrived 30 min early to check-in and decided to walk around a bit and got back 2 min before the loading time and the boat had already left us, they didn’t do a headcount and forgot us. Very unprofessional.The crewmate was rude towards us as soon as we got on ever though it wasn’t our fault they left without us. He pushed us back when handing us life jackets and gave us attitude.They also don’t give you the option of staying dry or not even though the website says you’ll have a choice, everyone was dunked in the water even when some of our party wasn’t fit to get soaking wet.

Review №59

It was very nice up in the sky. I booked for 4 ppl. It was all our first time so the experience was nice but just a bit pricey thats what the 4 stars is for. Wat i liked was that they came to pick us up at our Wakiki Bayan hotel. The workers were nice but sometimes theyre not too funny. The 1000 ft was more worth it in my opinion. The parachute glides slowly so its not scary at all. Whats a bit intimidating was the height but its still very beautiful so thats not bad neither. My parents of 60 yrs loved their 700 ft glide. Will i try parasail again? Yes if it would cost less.

Review №60

Wonderful and very experienced staff. We reached little late than scheduled time and they waited so patiently. The cost here is very reasonable. We took our 9 years old son with us for a 1000 feet parasail and crew on boat did a thorough check before the flight. For a very minimal cost they also take awesome pics and I do strongly recommend. Whole ride was so exciting and thrilling and most importantly very safe. Try to go at sunset to experience scenic ocean with sun setting down from middle of ocean with downtown on the other side. Awesome experience !!!

The guys are very professional.They will put you in a group and take everyone open sea. The whole trip will take 1hr. You can take your bags, and personal belongings with you. There is a charge of $32, if you want an older person to go with you on the boat. They can take cool pictures of you in the air for a $30 fee.

The ride was really fun and the guys on the boat were okay but they just seemed kind of ‘over it’. The lady answering the phone and in the booth seemed really stressed out and not very nice at all.

10/10!!! I can’t wait to go again! I was extremely nervous but I felt very safe the whole time, thanks to our boat crew! The boat ride was a bit crazy due to the windy weather, however, once we were parasailing, it was very calm up in the air. We also had a smooth landing on the boat — we only got our feet wet when we were dipped in the water. I’ll definitely be back!

You need to do the 1000ft parasail! Its such a thrilling activity to do. You only feel the fast speed when you are about to go up and its pretty calm up in the air. We actually planned to get the photo service done by the crew but the other group we were on the boat together suggested to take photos/videos of each other - so we saved $30 on that! We felt safe throughout the whole tour and had lots of fun.

Review №72

Parasailing was really fun! Wed never done it before. Thought it would be scary but not at all. The staff was not as friendly as Id hope. Just felt they were doing their job and not much more. The harness was uncomfortable on my low back. I wish it was more than 2 leg straps and 1 low back strap holding me up. The location was hard to find. Parking was hard to know where to park. I dont remember getting any instructions prior in email that let me know wed be going with a group. I didnt feel prepared or know what to expect but still glad I went.

Review №74

Not my first parasailing. The whole thing takes about 50min. They treated us well and professionally for the most part. The part I thought it was unprofessional was that we bought a 1000 Line parasailing which was advertised for 10min. We got 40% less. Only 6min. That is a huge difference. We are very disappointed. No tips and no photos bought in protest. But wed rather have a different experience. Delivering on what was advertised wouldve been nice. To sum up, not worth it. We will not be doing it again.

If I could give zero stars I would. No one showed up. We arrived at the booth at 12:20pm and waited until 1:30pm and no one showed up. Another group was there from 12pm and she said she was calling them since 1230 and it just kept ringing. I also callled them about 20 times and the phone just kept ringing. This was a complete disappointment!! No one even called us to cancel. So my nephew that was excited to parasail was very disappointed. I’m still shocked and in disbelieve that a business company would do this to their costumers. I will definitely be calling back to get a full refund on Monday.

Terrible business.The address they gave us was wrong so we were late to the appointment.It wasn’t just us but the two other groups also could not find the location due to the address being wrong.The “captains” of the boat were both rude at the beginning of the trip regarding masks and the way people sat. He made jokes towards people that were not jokes.We paid $30 for the SD card oh photos at the end for the SD card to be damaged and not work. They are refusing refund.The office manager told me “$30 is nothing to this company”.Absolutely terrible business and I would not recommend.

We thought our parasailing trip was scheduled for Monday and on Sunday at 12:30 we got a call saying we needed to arrive 30 minutes before our sail time 1:00. We were on the other side of the island and could not make it back. We booked through a 3rd party and they nor the parasail company would work with us to get us worked back in. Very letdown that no one would help us. We booked this trip over 1 month ago and had the wrong date wrong down.

Im sad to put this review because the guys, I think their names were Jerry and Jamie were great. They are the best duo ever, the parasail captain/flyer and photographer.But the lady that collects the money is very very rude. Her attitude towards the customers were very unpleasant. She yelled on us many times like kids.I am from Phoenix arizona, a travel enthusiast and i dont think i will recommend this business to my friends after this horrible experience with this lady. I dont want her attitude to ruin our day/trip.
