Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My friend Ian and I had a choice of adventures to do in paihia and easily picked this one. Richard and the boat crew were amazing. The parasailing was the most fantastic thing either of us have done
Weather was good and the views were terrific. Thanks again to a great team

Fantastic experience we thought we would never be able to do! Thoroughly enjoyed it and would very strongly recommend it to anyone with a small sense of adventure. Completely safe and dry unless you choose to get dunked at the end!
Fantastic views of the bay like you'd not see otherwise!
Guys running it were excellent - safe and understanding.

Captain was terrible
No life jackets offered or given when you boarded for adults or children unless they were getting you ready for the parasail!!!
As soon as they collected you the
Captain turned on the music so high you couldn’t enjoy the ride - he just sang is own kareoke - I am guessing he didn’t want to be asked any questions or interact with passengers
His feet were up on the side of the boat when the boat was been driven?? Not professional at all
When we were dropped off to Russell he boat slammed against the wharf - lucky I had just moved my fingers!!!
Wouldn’t recommend this amateur business - shame
It’s the only one to go on up there

Very professional and friendly team! We couldn't go out the previously booked day as it was too windy, so the team were happy to accommodate us for the following day with no fuss. Amazing experience!!!

An amazing way to see the beautiful Bay of Islands! Our guides made the experience feel both exciting and safe, and they even gave us the option to be dunked in the water at the end! The option of renting a gopro to record the experience is well worth it, as we now have lots of great photos and a video to remember our experience. They also give you the option to go out on the boat and watch your friends or family members if you do not want to go parasailing yourself. Highly recommend.
