What to Expect

Your parasailing adventure begins at Kailua Pier, where you'll meet your experienced parasail crew. After a brief safety orientation, you'll board the USCG-certified boat, which comfortably accommodates up to 12 passengers. The crew ensures everyone feels secure and ready before heading out to sea. As the boat glides over the calm waters, you'll take in the panoramic views of the lush Kona coastline, a preview of the stunning sights to come.

When it's your turn, the crew will carefully secure you into the parasail harness. Whether you choose to fly solo, in tandem, or as a trio, the experience is tailored to your comfort. The boat's winch system gently lifts you off the deck, and soon you're soaring high above the ocean, feeling the rush of wind and the quiet serenity of the skies. The view is nothing short of spectacular, with miles of Pacific ocean stretching beneath you and the volcanic peaks of Hualalai, Big Island in the distance.

As you glide through the air, the crew below expertly guides your flight, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. For an added thrill, you can opt for the cool ocean dip, where you're briefly lowered to skim the water's surface before being lifted back into the sky. The sensation of flying, combined with the refreshing ocean spray, makes for a perfect ending to your flight.

After 6 to 9 minutes of airtime, depending on your chosen package, you'll be gently winched back to the boat for a dry and safe landing. The entire boat ride lasts between 40 to 60 minutes, allowing everyone ample time to enjoy their flight and the beautiful Kona scenery. The tour concludes back at the dock, where you'll have the chance to say goodbye to the captain and crew.
