We have 2 locations: In down town Lahaina in Lahaina Harbor at slip #15 and on the beach in Kaanapali just on the south side in front of the Hyatt Regency. We have a fleet of Parasail boats and our 2 newest are 12 passengers to be able to carry those larger groups. The whole boat trip takes about an hour and should be the Highlight of your trip! « less

The boat was nice, staff one the boat and at ticket counter very friendly. There was one guy there his other boat was broke, maybe the owner his picture was in tv commercial, his attitude wasn't the best, sorry your boat was broken but being short with customers isn't going to fix it. Any way we sailed. I saw as... More

we took the longest (highest) Parasail choice: 1200 feet. What a 'flight'!!!! They let up to two people fly together, combined weight cannot be more than 400 lbs. You take a boat from the dock out to the boat that actually takes you on the parasail. So you will have to step from one boat to another, which is really... More

We did the 800’ trip in early November. Maybe it’s because it was the slow time of year, or perhaps we just got lucky but we did not need an advance reservation. We called ahead to verify they were open and then we just walked up to their booth and paid. It was a fantastic thrill to soar above the... More

This was my husband and my's first trip to Maui and certainly our first time Parasailing. Granted we haven't tried any other parasailing company, but these 'guys' were all fantastic! I read some other reviews and complaints about the picture package and sometimes perhaps that's a chance you take with anyone taking your picture on a fast-moving boat. Whether it's... More

This is definitely something to try. Once up in the air it is absolute silence and beautiful views. Very safe as well

This was my first time parasailing. I really wanted to try it, but was always a bit apprehensive regarding safety. Both the FAA and the Coast Guard have to approve parasailing companies in the USA. That eased my mind a bit! We booked the early bird special, which gave us a discount. We met up with the parasailing company at... More

Very nice ride at 1200 ft. So peaceful and calm and the views were lovely. This operation is very streamlined and efficient. We experienced friendly staff from beginning to end and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.
