Wow, I have always dreamt of flying solo and this was my dream come true. Well organized, good guys running the show. I regret not taking our water camera up to get pictures from that view - it was amazing. It was so quiet and peaceful @ 1200'. All you can hear up there is the wind blowing through the... more

This was an amazing experience. We will definately make this a repeat activity and will recommend that all visitors take part. Its hard to describe. The staff were amazing and very professional. You look down and see dolphins, wave to snorkelers, and wish it never ends!! I rate this experience as 5 stars plus. Worth every penny LK Alberta, Canada more

This was the highlight of our trip. We are so glad we booked this "adventure". We were both a little nervous as they strapped us in the harness, but once we "took off" it was GREAT. There is no sense of any real height. You just feel like you are floating. If you do the adventure go for the 800'... more

What a trip! This was a first for myself, my husband and my father. We booked the 400 and 800 foot rides but once we started, we had to go all the way and do the 1200 foot sail. My dad and I decided at the last minute that it might be more fun to go tandem. Due to the... more

What a thrill to see all of Kona, including the ocean life, from 800 or 1,200 feet. They run the operation very smoothly from making the reservation to the end. This was one of the best things my wife and daughter did. Would definitly do it again when we return. The 1,200 ride is highly recommended. Safe and fun! more

Friendly staff. We were lucky enough to be the only two people parasailing that day. It was a great experiences. Purchased the 800 ft online, however, decided to go up to 1,200 feet for 10$ more. We also were lucky enough to see dolphins. more

Let me start off by saying I have a fear of heights and I'm not a risk-taker. But for whatever reason I've always thought parasailing looked fun and decided to give it a try. I orginally was going to do just the 400 ft. parasail, but due to conditions, I ended up going with my husband on the 800 ft.... more

July 2007 - my kids and i went parasailing with UFO in Kaanapali. They are located right on the beach at Whaler's Village. They are right in front of the Westin. We took the early morning ride and it was excellent. Having never been parasailing we were not sure what to expect. The ride is excellent. What a view. We... more

UFO Parasailing was a great choice for a parasailing adventure. (I've parasailed twice before, once from a beach in Mexico and once from a platform in the ocean in the Bahamas. This was MUCH easier) UFO Parasailing has the entire experience automated, so there is nothing for the parasailer to do but enjoy the ride. You take off from the... more

The view of the Island is even more spectacular from a bird's eye perspective. UFO Parasailing offers three levels: 7 minutes at 400ft, 10 minutes at 800 ft., and 15 minutes at 1,200 ft., with the price increasing by $10 as you go higher. The 1,200 ft. wasn't published on their website but they offered it on-site. They allow you... more
