Lydia and Paul, as well as Andy on the shore and the folks at the office, were all very helpful in arranging a customized outing for my group of 10 in Maui. They can and will do many things other than parasailing. We snorkeled and rode the banana boat, and they offered tubing and knee-boarding / wake-boarding as well. My... More

1200 feet of rope, up 600 feet over the Kona coast. A great experience. The guides were careful and friendly and we had no safety fears. The pictures they took are great!

My partner, Sister, Brother-in-law and niece thoroughly enjoyed their parasailing experience in Kona. I stayed in the boat because of my fear of heights, but could not have enjoyed that more.

My husband and son had their first experience with "parasailing" with UFO on Hawaii. They had a wonderful time. It was a great experience. Worth every penny! Got a fantastic shot with the camera when the last parasailing was finished and it was time to pack it in. The wind wipped up the parachute-great entertainment trying to contain it. Thank... More

We have never parasailed before so were a little ankious. The 2 young men who took us out were wonderful. Safety was their number one conern. The photos they took and that we purchased were wonderfu!! It was a very enjoyable time and was so quiet up there. The scenery was breathtaking!! Would go again in a heartbeat.

I don't understand how anyone could say anything negative about these guys! Great customer service, Captain and his crew were awesome!! We took a 6 yr old child and the crew went over and above to make him comfortable. While the other riders were in the air, Captain gave us great suggestions for sights to see on the island. The...

We went parasailing with our 8 and 11 year old kids and it was an amazing experience. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff on boat, impatient staff in office. Only drawback were the sales pitches for going higher, picture, and shirts.
