I am just a month over due for this review (no biggie ;p) Not only did I have a blast celebrating my birthday even all while under the weather, but kick'n it with Christian and Capt. Todd.. whoops! I mean Captain TY ;) they were a great time. I am so thankful to have enjoyed as much flying high in the sky as I could. Best part of my trip. Can't wait to go back and do it all again. Mahalo UFO Parasail! read more

We celebrated my 40th birthday in Kona and when my family asked what I wanted to do Parasailing was my immediate answer! The concierge recommended UFO and the Yelp reviews were great so we got it booked! The whole process was incredibly easy from start to finish and they gave us an educators discount, 15% off! Captain Casey and her first mate Carrigan were spectacular! Also, I can not stress enough the amazing deal the photo package is! Also, go earlier in the day for the best weather. read more

A lot of fun and easy to do. The guides were clearly very experienced in the office was well managed.

This was my first time parasailing and it was a great experience! I am afraid of heights so I was super nervous to do this but the crew made me very comfortable and I felt safe the entire time! They were so great at giving instructions and really listen to your needs. I am glad my husband and I did the dunk! You get wet and it's so refreshing but of course you have the option to not (I don't recommend this, the dunk was so worth it!). It is so peaceful when you are up there that anyone who's afraid of heights can do this! I will definitely be recommending UFO Parasailing! read more

I would have never guessed that I would even ever try parasailing, but after being suggested and reading up on some reviews, I decided to face my fear and made reservations for the 10am time slot which also offered a 15% discount. Up to 8 people can sign up for the time slots provided and including us, our group had six. Fill out your waivers online and show up 30 minutes prior. Validated parking is available at the Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel, 3 hours for $2. We ended up getting it free when we inserted our ticket on the way out. The crew was super friendly and we got started once we moved away from the dock. You can store all your belongings beneath you. The water was pretty peaceful the day we went, so we were able to hold onto our phones and take pictures during the boat ride when it wasn't our turn. We went first and after our straps and life jackets were fitted to us, we were strapped in. It was such an awesome experience, no queasy feeling in my stomach, just an overall feeling of peace. It was quiet up there and you may swing, but it is so slight. You climb to about 1200 ft according to the website and it felt like we were up there for about 15 mins. The views were gorgeous and the day we went a cruise ship was in the area. We were dipped in the water coming in, but just let them know if you don't want to get wet. We purchased the media package onsite for $30 and received them via text. If you're thinking about it, do it. We had a blast! read more

UFO Parasail is a must! Doc and Micha were funny and made us feel safe the whole time. Incredible experience!

Wow! Great experience despite delay. Saw from our condo balcony, taking people out and the name of the place was on the boat. Realized I was terrified but wanted to do it anyway. Note that I'm anxiety prone generally and have some back issues. Went to the website and read about it. Made a reservation online easy peasy. Added the photo package cause photos or ot didn't happen. Walked down to dock next day and they'd had a technical difficulty. Rather than take it as a sign I shouldn't do it, we had them move us to two hours later. Younger guy Christian (had a deep soothing voice made for radio) and the captain were great! Obviously done it a ton. They ran through procedure and made me more confident. Husband and I went third out of four couples. Launch was easy! We went up to around 1200 feet. It was so quiet up there. And not as windy as we expected. Couldn't even hear the boat. Back was just fine. I did great .... Till we started to come in. The harness made some snapping and whipping sounds with significant jerks that really freaked me out. Landing easy also. Turned out those noises were perfectly normal. And my only tip here is they should tell people to expect it on the way down. Would totally do this again. read more

I was sitting by the pool looking out into the beautiful ocean when I...what is that I see? People parasailing?! I watched for about the next hour while soaking in the sun and decided I wanted to try it too. I looked it up online and booked it right there on the spot! It stated on the website you can do 1, 2, or 3 people but must be less than 450 pounds total. If you are a single rider, you must be at least 160 pounds. Since I'm not 160 pounds, I convinced my husband to do it with me. He was a little reluctant as parasailing combines both of his biggest fears...heights and water. They sent over a confirmation with clear instructions guiding us where to meet them the next morning. I filled out my waiver online ahead of time and was ready to go the next morning! There were 8 of us on the boat and each group was in the air for about 10 minutes. The views up there were just amazing and took my breath away. Surprisingly, it was a very peaceful and calm experience. You have the option of getting your toes and legs a little wet if you want or you can ask them to not let you near the water. We also opted for the extra photo package which was $29 and included a memory card filled with photos of us - totally worth it. The crew on board were amazing as well. They were friendly, kept us on schedule, and made us feel comfortable. Make sure to tip your crew! It was a fun experience and I would recommend it to anyone! It's a lot less scary than you think! read more

Posting for my MIL who doesn't have yelp: "Awesome experience! We weren't originally planning to parasail, only my 22 year old twins had reservations months in advance. They raved about the experience & had the time of their lives. They had such an incredible time that they convinced us, their parents, to do it! It was totally thrilling. It was amazing to be 1200 feet up in the air over the gorgeous ocean." read more

OMG!! How sweet was this experience. Captain Ty and Crew Member Doc were just the best. They had the best tunes and great vibes! Our dad has Parkinson's and has a hard time getting around. Doc did a great job instructing and assisting him get on and off the boat safely. Captain Ty even let us put his wheel chair in the truck. From the first moments they were friendly and humorous. They had an amazing banter and a relaxed, playful attitude, while also being very professional and down to business when it was time. The flight itself was next level. Planning ahead for the smoothest take off. The ride was out of this world (pun intended). Captain Ty was awesome at slowing down, speeding up, and turning to give a fun ride. It never felt sketchy. We went up and down and had a blast. Even dunked at the end. It was good energy all around. There was a younger girl (not in our party) who started to get scared when her turn got closer and they both did a great job in managing her feelings and helping her feel comfortable and as safe as possible. The 9 minute ride felt longer so I would say don't even worry about it feeling short. read more

Great time with Capt. Ty and Doc. They were very considerate of our group which was diverse ages, sizes and handicap.

Incredible! Captain Ty and crew Doc were cool, calm, collected and knew what they were doing. They made this experience so awesome that we went twice! The parasailing itself was so relaxing and beautiful. The boat ride was fun and interesting with good music. Doc knew how to get everyone into their harnesses and lifejackets and everything was done safely and securely. I really enjoyed this experience and would recommend it to anyone! We hope to enjoy more adventures with UFO parasailing in the future. Highly recommend! read more

We went today, 6/12/24 and it was an amazing time!!! The staff are great! There is a difference between the boats, there is the "A" team Casey and Don went out of their way to make it the most amazing experience ever. Don't be confused with the "B" team who I'm sure is ok, but the "A" has a amazing music selection playing while on the boat and even let my kids ride twice, one with me and once with my wife!!! Best staff, great customer service !!! Military discounts as well, don't forget to ask! read more

This was a fun experience. The 2 gentlemen running the boat were so friendly and focused on safety which I appreciated. We felt that even though we were sharing the ride with other couples, it still felt very intimate and not over crowded. Not to mention being that high in the air over Kona was just breathtaking. The only negative we had was that finding the umbrella on the dock was difficult. They should say "walk all the way down the dock and then start looking for the umbrella". We passed a bunch of umbrellas and thought we were in the wrong place. Luckily we just kept walking and finally found them. read more

My girlfriend has been waiting to parasail for years now. I have always been scared of heights. I finally told her I would go with her. When I booked it, it says 1200 feet. It's 1200 feet of rope but you're only 500 feet up in sky. When taking off it's little nerve racking. Once you're up in the sky, it's like another world up at top. No wind and can't hear anything. It's VERY peaceful and relaxing. I overcame my fear of heights. 100% highly recommend. Staff was awesome and respectful. I wouldn't hesitate to book again with UFO parasailing. read more
