New skis are almost always safer skis. We change our equipment nearly every year.

We use Yamaha VX series skis.

Jet skiing launches from our floating activities island which an 8 minute shuttle boat ride through a private marina.

At anchor, the activities island has a huge, partially sunken platform. An instructor floats the jet ski onto it; you wade over, mount up and ski away.

• 16 to drive a jet ski on your own – solo rider
• 12-15 to drive with an adult

• We will charge you for three people and give you one jet ski for 30 minutes. Based on participants size and weights, you can fit 3 people on a jet ski (based on manufacturer’s guidelines.)

We have a buoy where you can pull over and switch drivers on the same jet ski. You can not switch riders between jet skis.

You must be able to get yourself back on the jet ski if you fall off.

Tandem rides are limited to 500 pounds total.

If weight is a concern, you may be asked to upgrade to a solo ride.

The state of Hawaii requires commercial jet skis to operate on a course area. The course area is marked by buoys and you must remain on the course.

You must go the same direction and keep at least 100 feet between you and another jet ski.

There are restrictions on jumping waves, doing donuts and other actions that are considered dangerous. Remember you are responsible for any damage to equipment, yourself or other participants.

Violators are asked to leave the course and there is no refund.

Hands free cameras are welcome. Cameras are not allowed – unless they are hands free.

We take pictures and video of your jet ski ride and you can view and purchase these at our digital media center. Aloft, the views of Oahu are spectacular.

Digital media photos and GoPro digital video services are available to all participants; we are the only company that records video of every flight.

Our digital media center offers media for immediate purchase.

We’ve been taking families parasailing safely since 1986. Our vessels are specifically designed for parasailing.

Our US Coast Guard licensed captains have been trained to provide a safe and thrilling experience.

You must weigh at least 50 lbs. to parasail under typical weather conditions.

We have a maximum weight of 450 pounds in the parachute.

For an additional charge, larger individuals may be required to upgrade to a solo flight.

Every launch and retrieval takes place from inside a boat custom designed for this activity.

Traditionally everyone takes a momentary dip in the tropical waters of Maunalua Bay just before landing. It is the best part of the parasail ride!

If you prefer to stay dry, ask our friendly boat staff and they will do their best.

The captain will decide if someone in your group will go up twice (no extra charge) or if someone may fly solo or we may fly three people at a time.

You may fly with an unrelated party.

The decision is up to the captain and is based on weight and weather conditions.

Observers are welcome for a fee, and, if space is available, they are invited to upgrade to parasailing.

There is a small area for personal belongings on the parasail boat.

Other activities get underway from the same floating activities island, so plan on staying for the parasailing, plus jet skiing, banana boat and bumper tube rides (all on a space-available basis). Ask at check-in about multiple experience discounts.

The floating activities island has open areas for sunbathing and covered areas where you can shade yourself from the warm Hawai’i sun.
