Parasailing

See what the birds see when you soar above the crystal-clear waters of Hawaiʻi’s beaches with a parasail. At heights of up to 1,000 feet in the air, parasailing offers unprecedented views of the coastline, and it’s an unforgettable way to enjoy a day at the beach. Ride solo or tandem with friends or family. It’s a great activity for older kids and adults alike. There are a variety of parasailing companies on the Hawaiian Islands, and the sport is even offered at some beachfront hotels.
