WHAT IT INVOLVES
A shared parasail boat runs out from Kewalo Harbor, just west of Waikiki, and flies up to three people at a time. You choose how much line you go up on: 600, 800 or 1,000 feet. More line means a higher flight and a wider view, from Diamond Head along the Waikiki shoreline to the downtown Honolulu skyline. No experience is needed, and all flight equipment and life vests are provided.
HOW IT RUNS
Check in 30 minutes before departure at Slip F6, Kewalo Harbor, 1025 Ala Moana Blvd. Most Waikiki hotels are 10–15 minutes away. Transport is not included; onsite parking is $2 an hour and is paid through the parking app, not by cash or card. Sign the operator’s online waiver before you arrive, with a photo ID (or a clear selfie for minors). The trip lasts 45–60 minutes, and each flight spends roughly 6–10 minutes in the air. Go Hawaii Watersports has been flying since 2013.
PRICING
Per person: $80 for the 600 ft flight, $90 for the 800 ft Standard Ride and $115 for the 1,000 ft Ultimate Ride. Observers ride along on the boat for $45. A fuel surcharge of $7–$9 per person is paid on arrival, and gratuities are not included. The 8am departures carry an early-bird rate. Verified against the FareHarbor price API, September 2026. Confirm current rates at booking.

WHO IT IS FOR
Families with children aged 5 and up, couples and groups of three who want to fly together, and people who are nervous about heights: the operator describes the flight as a peaceful ride rather than a thrill. Observer tickets suit anyone who would rather watch from the boat.
