This company offers more than one kind of thrill. While it's true that parasailing is the focus, Jet Skis are also available for people who like to keep a little bit closer to the ground (or in this case, the water). Scuba diving is also offered. If you've wanted to try parasailing though, this is a good bet; the company has been around since 1983. Call for pricing on parasailing or scuba adventures. Note: A credit card is required to hold, but cash is the only form of payment accepted. This allows the company to offer deep discounts much of the time. Reservations are required. Free door-to-door van transportation from Waikiki hotels is included. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Original Hawaiian parasailers |

For the ultimate thrill, try this popular adventure sport. Sail above the seas on a small parachute that's being towed by a speedboat. People who have gone say there's nothing like it. This company is Hawaii's oldest parasail operator, and one of its most respected. It's been running for 25 years. You couldn't pick a better company in which to place your trust and your life. If going solo seems a bit scary, take a tandem ride. Adrenaline junkies are encouraged to ask about the "Wet and Wild Rides." Call directly or ask an activity broker for more information.
