Prior experience is not necessary. The captain and mate do ALL the work for you. You just have to come prepared to have a good time.

No, since all takeoffs and landings are done from the back of the boat you don’t even have to get wet unless you wish to get dip in the water. In the extremely unlikely event of unexpected weather, the parasailers slowly drift back to the water and the mandatory lifejackets will hold you afloat.

No, you don’t have to get wet if you don’t want to. Near the end of the flight, the captain slows the boat down and has you gently dip your feet in the water for a refreshing splash. He then lands you back safely on the boat deck. Please let us know if you would like to stay completely dry. In the event of windy conditions, Captain will have the final decision.

For your safety, pregnant women are not able to go parasailing or on the boat. But please come back and see us next year.

Because the boat ride can be bumpy at times, we ask that if you have suffered from these types of injuries you refrain from going parasailing or even on the boat.  “Anyone who have suffered from any medical conditions like heart, stroke, epilepsy, severe high blood pressures, severe diabetes, nervous system issues, etc. Anyone who has mobility issues is discourage to participate in this activity.”

Parasailers must be at least 5-year-old to parasail. Guests younger than 18-years-old must have an adult sign the waiver for them. Parasailing is safe and exciting for all ages as long as you don’t suffer from any severe medical conditions.

Yes, we offer tandem and triple flights (2 or 3 people in the same chute). All multi-passenger flights are side by side offering great views and comfortable flights. If the combined weight is over 450-460 lbs., then we can guarantee for you to fly together. If exceeds that then it’s up to the captain to make the call. His decision is based on weather conditions.

The minimum combined weight requirement is depending on the wind conditions and the maximum combined weight is 450-460lbs. It will be up to the captain to determine. This all can vary according to winds conditions.

Yes, if the minor is 16 yrs. old and older then it should be okay, but an adult need to be present to check-in anyone under 18 years of age. Must be a guardian or parent to sign the waiver. Children 5 to15-year-old requires the parent / guardian to be present and fly with them.

You can change your mind but you will not be refunded. That being said, this rarely happens. On the contrary, we’ve had folks who were coming along just for the boat ride, ask if they too could go parasailing after seeing how fun and gentle it was. As long as we have enough time, observers can turn to a flyer. We are on a very tight schedule.

We do not take observer reservations. Right before the boat departs, IF there is room on the boat we will welcome you on the boat as an observer.

After getting outfitted with a life vest and harness, you’re seated on the flight deck of the boat. Once seated the mate clips your harness to the parachute. The captain then will reel you out nice and smooth, just like sitting on a swing set that slowly elevates you for the experience of a lifetime. And yes, all take offs and landings are done straight from the boat unless wind conditions change unexpectedly.

Actually, it’s quite the opposite. Parasailing is very serene and peaceful. Because the take offs and landings are slow and gradual, you don’t have to worry about having a frightening experience.

Parasailing is safe because we make it safe. Hawaiian Parasail is the pioneer and original parasailing in all of Hawaii. Proud to say that we have had ZERO incidents to date as a result of our 43 years flying experience and operating procedures. We have the most sophisticated equipment, updated boats, and strongest line. Your safety is our number one priority!

If this happens, the participants will slowly and safely descend into the water. The mandatory lifejackets will hold the participants up until which time they are pulled back onto the boat. Prior to your flight the captain will give all participants a full safety briefing.

Dress for the weather, if it is cool before your flight or you are sensitive to the sun, we recommend that you wear a long- sleeved shirt/ sweatshirt. Bathing suits and beach attire is always recommended, as are towels, bottled water and sun block. We recommend you leave behind anything that can be damaged by contact with water as well as anything that is expensive or hard to replace. We are not responsible for any damaged or lost items.

You are allowed to take a camera up at your own discretion and should take into consideration the height and water risks. Disposable cameras are best. We also offer a digital photo package as another option to capture your good times.

The photo package includes 80 or more photos of your adventure. The crew uses a high-definition camera to document your entire flight, and at the end of the trip, you get the memory card “SD card”, which is $40, and we can download it on your phone to those iPhone users. It takes less than a minute to download the photos.

Yes, because of parasailing’s popularity and the limited space we encourage reservations. If there is room on the boat walk-up guests are welcome.

You have three options when making reservations:

1.) Online reservations are the fastest and available by going to the reservation tab on our website booking system “www.hawaiianparasail.com”.

2.) Phone reservations (always busy)

3.) Walk-up reservations (you have to wait.)

Please cancel 48-hours prior to your reservation for a full refund.

A little sprinkle and we stay out. High gusty winds also make parasailing difficult. The captain then decides if we are going on stand-by or if we close down for the day. If you weren’t able to fly then you can either be refunded or rescheduled for a day. If you are unsure about the weather conditions, please give us a call 48-hours before your reservation.

We encourage you to plan for parasailing during the first part of your vacation. That way, if the weather does not cooperate you will have other opportunities to fly.

We accept Debit Cards, MasterCard, Visa, Discover.

Boats depart every 1-hour beginning at 8 am. Our online reservation system shows availability for each day.
