Parasail in Hawaii – Adventure of a Lifetime

Adrenaline junkies are always in search of the next great adventure. They tend to constantly harbor an innate sense of adventure until their emotions are too difficult to contain. This endless search may include something like the chance to fulfill a dream of flying up to 300 feet through the clear blue skies. The feeling of flying like a bird is unmatched by any activity in the world. That’s why going on one of these great Oahu parasailing tours at Waikiki Beach (Honolulu), Ala Moana, and Diamond Head is one of the most amazing activities that first time travelers can do on a trip to Hawaii. We certainly highly recommend it!

Let’s face it, there aren’t many great activities that let you soar through the skies while taking in amazing sights of the island and sea. Sure, you can ride on a boat, but it’ll take you more than 1 hour to tour the coastline after you meet up with your group at the harbor. A boat tour only offers a limited view of the mysteriously alluring land beyond the tropical coastline. Plus, I know you’ve seen that ubiquitous photo of a parasailer having the time of her life and you wished it was you instead.

The truth is, there probably isn’t anyone in the world who wouldn’t consider taking a vacation trip to Hawaii. The islands of Hawaii are cherished for their gorgeous weather, fascinating culture, and plethora of fun activities that travelers can experience. However, if you’re trying to search for a thrill-seeking activity that may be a little bit out of the ordinary, certain activities that red-line your adrenaline level and provide an unforgettable experience, then your search is over! Save yourself from the bane of listlessness and consider parasailing in Hawaii at Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, Oahu (near Ala Moana). You don’t need to harbor your desire to do something new and exciting anymore because you can completely shape your adventurous future in less than 1 hour.

Here’s a brief overview (with quick links) of a couple of the best parasailing tours that we highly recommend to first time travelers and experienced thrill-seekers:

Sure there’s shark diving in Oahu, but that takes you to the depths below the sea. If you want to get your thrills where only the birds can go, then a great Hawaiian parasail escapade is your ticket to a fun time.

Why Go Parasailing in Hawaii?

One of the best tours in Oahu, Hawaii that allow you to witness the stunning imagery of the natural landscape is a tour that provides the maximum parasailing experience for first time travelers! A fun parasail tour will offer you great views of the clear blue ocean, coastline, and other parts of the island. Not only will parasailing Hawaii allow you to enjoy one of the most fun and unique viewing experiences in your life, you also get to save yourself from the trouble of flying in an expensive helicopter (which always comes with safety risks).

So, do you love sightseeing? Are you yearning to search for that next great tropical island adventure? Do you regret missing out on some of the amazing activities that the world has to offer?

If you answered with a resounding “yes” to one of these questions, then you’re going to love Hawaiian parasailing.

Well, you may be able to conquer that fear of flight by choosing one of these Oahu parasail tours that provide less scary options of flying as low as 500 feet. Although flight heights can range up to 1000 feet, safety is the absolute #1 priority of the crew for any Hawaii parasailing company in Oahu (especially at Ala Moana, Waikiki Beach, Honolulu and Diamond Head).

In fact, an often overlooked reality of parasailing in Hawaii is that it’s a statistically very safe activity. Millions of people go parasailing around the world every year and less than .01% of them get injured (probably safer than a boat ride!). Yes, accidents rarely happen (even when the boat is docked at harbor), but the crew of any reputable Oahu parasailing company (hint: the ones listed below) always adhere to every possible safety measure in order to ensure that you, and your group of friends and family, get the most fun out of their parasail journey in Hawaii. You can even take flight in tandem with a professional crew member to give you that extra layer of security.

All of these facts make parasailing in Hawaii a truly fun and thrilling activity that anyone can partake in during a trip to Oahu. Parasail flights are definitely worth the price of any amount of tickets you may decide to purchase.
