Parasail High Above Waikiki
Tour Highlights
Blast skyward above Waikīkī as the boat engine roars and the chute snaps open, lifting you into silent flight with Diamond Head and open ocean below. Your pulse jumps, the city drops away, and suddenly you’re floating high, weightless, and grinning ear to ear.
- Soar hundreds of feet above Waikīkī by parasail
- Take in Diamond Head and Koʻolau Mountain views
- Glide smoothly over open ocean with panoramic visibility
- Ride tandem or triple for shared high-flying thrills
- Launch from Kewalo Basin just minutes from Waikīkī
Quick Local Tip: If you want a splash at the end, tell the crew before you take off. When bringing you back to the boat, they can adjust the boat speed for anything from a light toe dip to a full ocean dunk. If you’d rather stay dry, just say the word and you’ll land clean back on the deck.
What to Expect
The experience begins at Kewalo Basin Harbor, just west of Waikiki, where you'll check in and meet your captain and crew. After a quick safety briefing, you’ll board the parasailing boat and motor out into the open waters off Oʻahu’s south shore. From the boat, Waikiki’s skyline quickly becomes a stunning backdrop, and the green ridges of the Koʻolau Mountains come into view.
Once out in deeper water, the crew fits you into a secure harness, clips you to the chute, and prepares you for liftoff. Within moments, you're lifted gently from the deck, rising steadily into the sky as the tow line unreels. Depending on your selected flight line — Standard (700 ft), Deluxe (850 ft), X-Treme (1,000 ft), or Ultimate X-Treme (1,200 ft) — your flight will reach different heights, but every option delivers wide-open views and a surreal, peaceful ride above the ocean.
The flight itself is smooth and quiet, interrupted only by bursts of laughter, ocean breeze, and awe-inspiring scenery. You might spot sea turtles or even spinner dolphins below. After several minutes aloft, you’ll gradually descend back to the boat for a soft landing and plenty of photos and memories to take home.
