Flights
Fly at 1200 feet (or choose the 800-foot option) for an exciting adventure above the Pacific. The experience typically lasts about an hour and usually departs several times daily, depending on the season. For an extra splash, ask your captain for the optional UFO Dip, which lets you briefly touch the water before being lifted back up! If heights aren’t your thing, you can tag along as an observer and get in on the action from the water. UFO’s boats can accommodate up to 12 passengers, with shared trips generally limited to a smaller group for comfort. Remember, parasailing is a seasonal activity on Maui and only operates from May to December, so plan accordingly.
Location
With miles of white-sand beaches, crystal-clear water, coral reefs, and lush mountain views, Kaʻanapali is the ideal location for a parasailing adventure. As you sail hundreds of feet above the ocean, you’ll take in views of the neighboring islands dotting the horizon and the stunning view of Kaʻanapali Beach below.
Check-In
Meet on Kaʻanapali Beach in front of Leilani’s on the Beach at Whalers Village. Look for the blue UFO Parasail umbrellas and beach staff. Arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled parasailing time. Guests must be at least 5 years old to participate and must weigh at least 160 pounds for solo flights. Tandem and triple flights are available, with a combined weight limit of approximately 450–550 pounds. The captain may adjust weight limits based on wind, sea, and safety conditions.

I recently experienced the parasailin from Kaanapali Beach, and it was truly exhilarating. At 1,200 feet above the Pacific, I saw west side, other islands, and the West Maui Mountains. The trip ended with a refreshing dip in the ocean. LOVED IT! The crew was professionaland safe. I highly recommend this activity for anyone looking for fun and seeing Maui up high!

We did the tandem parasailing, and it was a blast! My kids (ages 8 and 10) loved every minute of it. The staff was friendly and professional, making sure everyone felt safe. The ride itself was smooth, with amazing views of Maui’s west side. It’s a short trip, but perfect for families looking for a quick thrill.

Spectacular views we couldn’t get anywhere else! The crew at UFO parasail were really helpful/patient and we had a ton of fun. My girl and I loved getting dipped into the ocean and will do this again. I suggest doing the highest one they have. It’s unbelieveable up there. So peaceful and beautiful
