    Captain Andrew and Amanda were amazing hosts. Felt very safe on the boat and the entire parasailing excursion. I highly recommend UFO parasail. Check-in is right on the Kaanapali Beach near Whalers Village. Look out for their little umbrella to check in.

    So much fun getting wet

    Randal the Captain and Christian the deckhand were so friendly, fun and knowledgeable. We especially liked it when they dip the 3 of us in the water! Thank you UFO!!

    Ono and Uku catch

    We had a fantastic morning on the Inshore Fishing Charter with Captain Dustin. He knew all the spots and piloted our boat with an expert hand. Our inshore, bottom fishing trip turned into a more exciting adventure pulling in a couple of huuuuge Ono (Wahoo) in addition to a large Uku (Snapper) and Kahala (Amberjack). Dustin was helpful and patient and full of info, stories and lore about the islands. The hours flew by and we were soon returned to shore with all the filets we could cook, reels of photos and delightful memories. Highly recommended.

    Smooth ride from start to finish

    I had THE BEST experience parasailing yesterday! I went solo for an early morning ride out and it was my first time. The entire crew was SO sweet and friendly (hey Amanda!). The experience was way more zen and relaxing and beautiful than I imagined and I would absolutely do it again. We went up 1200ft and the views were killer. It was such a beautiful morning and I will for sure be recommending this company to friends!!!

    We LOVE UFO parasail! Our first time was in Kona (left a review on their Yelp page). We came to Maui in August last year and flew with them and we flew with them this trip AGAIN! That's how much we love flying with UFO! The crew is the best! They make you feel comfortable and overall it's an amazing experience that we love doing every time we come here. We are already planning our next trip out here and UFO parasailing is on our list of things to do. Highly recommend it!!

    Epic ride

    These guys were fantastic. Went out on the parasail yesterday with them and did the longer rope option. Super easy to get to off the beach, friendly and knowledgeable. Watch for the flash sales online!

    Had the opportunity to dip our feet in the water

    UFO parasailing was such a fun and exhilarating experience. You book your reservation on their website, and they offer random discounts. There's two options for parasailing: 800 ft or 1200 ft. The staff were really friendly and informative of how to properly sit and handle the straps when ascending over the beautiful ocean. Once you're up 1200 ft, it was personally relaxing and breathtaking to overlook the picturesque Maui ocean. The flight was approximately 8 minutes long. The staff allows you to dip your feet in the water, too. They offer a photo package you can buy online in advance when doing your reservations or it can be purchased the day of. The pictures are available for you to view 24 hours after your flight. UFO parasailing in Maui is located directly on the Kaanapali beach. You will see 2 blue umbrellas with their name on it dug into the sand. Parking is located inside Whaler's Village and you can validate at any of the stores (just buy something small at a store to get validation).

    Our beautiful granddaughters had a great experience with UFO.

    If parasailing is your thing, you cannot do any better than doing it with UFO. Wonderful people from the beach to the boats. Special callout to James and Neil who made this a great time.

    Captain Ryan and one of the great catches we had.
    Andrew H.

    Ryan was our Captain. He communicated very well before the trip and we even got out early. He was very well prepared and had a great attitude and was a lot of fun. Even though the conditions were rough, all four of us caught fish and had a great time. He did his best to put us in the right places and was very knowledgeable.

    Je'Hnna P.

    It was super fun and the crew was very nice. We booked it an hour before it was time to go. We loved every second and will definitely go again next time we visit Maui.

    view from boat
    Michelle S.

    such a great staff, satisfied our expectations, and the experience was very safe! you are taken on a smaller boat to the boat you'll actually go up on, the view while you're essentially sitting down in the sky is pretty nice! i wouldn't really recommend if you're looking for a high thrill activity since it was pretty tame, so just keep this in mind this location makes it perfect to shop after at whaler's village (food & tourist stores)

    Jenny C.

    I've parasailed before but this was my husband's first time. The online booking process was easy and the staff were friendly. We opted for the photos, and they give a good selection for $30 (as opposed to, say, Disney where you pay $30 for a single photo). My only disappointment was that our ride felt shorter than the promised ten minutes. Overall, though, we had a great time. Would I do it again? Yes. But I would keep an eye on my watch just to be sure!

    See all

    Ask the Community - UFO Parasail

    How long are you up in the air for?

    Flight time is about 8-10 minutes: 8 minutes for single riders, and 10 minutes for tandem and triple flights.

    Do you have to book online to go for the parasailing?

    There are several ways to book! You can book online on our website, you can call our office, you can go through a concierge/travel agent, and you can also book online through other travel agencies such as Expedia. If you book through our website we… 

    Do you recommend getting pictures taken?

    It is recommended over taking your own, though you are certainly welcome to at your discretion. We recommend it because we take at least 25-30 stills through out your flight using our 300mm telephoto lens which allows us to take some close up as…

    Killer whale watching tour. Smaller but spacious boat than the competition, Kevin and his staff…read moreare very knowledgeable and kept it super entertaining. We got very up close and we're able to really experience these amazing creatures. Got more video that's way better with breaches but I feel like we were very fortunate to see what we did. Make sure you tip your staff w/ cash, they work hard! Also a Let us get away and swim in the deep! Away from the whales of course.

    Thank goodness one of my coworkers told me about her whale watching tour that she bought through…read moregroupon! I bought a 2 hour whale watching tour for 2 people for only $60!!! Let me tell you, this was THE BEST $60 I've spent in my life! I can't stop talking about it & sharing the pictures & videos of my experience. Park at the Whaler's village parking lot & make your way to the beach fronting Leilani's restaurant. There you will see blue umbrellas with Blue Maui's logo. Make sure to check in 15 mins before your trip & go to the bathroom before you get on the boat! From the beach you'll get into a small boat which will take you to the medium sized boat. I forced my boyfriend to sit at the front of the boat because I wanted to get the full experience! Let's just say we went out really, really far... For the first 30 mins we say only a few whales from far away, but then things changed! We saw a few boats that were just chilling & decided to join them. The whales were popping up & checking out the other boats. I screamed with excitement so many times. I literally love whales! The whales made their way towards us & I almost died because they were so close. We even got splashed by them with their tail! Make sure you take your GoPro because you're able to stick it in the water! We got amazing videos! The whales were so close & you could even hear them! I'm telling everyone about Blue Maui & how it was such a lifetime experience. Thank you to our guides who did such a great job finding the whales & giving us lots of info. Make sure you wear lots of sunscreen cause we got super burnt! We had a whale of a time & will hopefully island hop back next year to see the whales!

    Located in Maui, HI, the dock is in Lahaina. I came in the middle of February 12, 2026. I hear that…read morewhale season is end of December to April, with February being the peak month. Surely, we were surrounded by whales. I went on the 6:45am 2 hour Eco Raft tour. One boat tour holds around 12 persons. The temperature in Maui in February was fantastic, about 65F at night, and 75F at peak of day. It was great value, costing about $111 for the 2 hour tour. Keep in mind, you need to show up 30 minutes before the actual time to fill out waivers, etc. Many whales were a few feet away. There were so many whales! We must have seen 50+ individuals. See my video of baby whale breaching. I didn't capture alot of photos, because I would rather see it with my own eyes. Tip for those traveling in February: it's a peak travel season for Maui, so book your rental cars well in advance 10-12 months ahead. If you book 5-6 months ahead, you won't get any. You may try rental car with Turo, or have to rent E-bike, bike or take Lyft, Uber, etc. Clothing suggestions: depends on the time of day you go. For early mornings, you may wear shorts or long pants, something warm like sweatshirt or I did Patagonia fleece with lightweight Outdoor Research rainjacket on top. Shoes come off, so you will be barefoot on the boat and you will get the shoes back afterwards, so that won't matter. It's kind of windy, so hold on to or get a hat with a string that goes around your neck. Bring sunglasses, and put on sunblock while you're signing the waivers. You will not regret it if you come during whale season!
