Maui Parasailing Adventure
A great option for budget travelers, parasailing is one of the most unique and economical ways to catch great views of Maui from above. Guests can opt for triple, tandem, or even solo flights. Operating out of Kaʻanapali Beach, you’ll spend an hour taking in stunning views of Maui’s west side, neighboring islands, and the West Maui Mountains before ending the flight with a refreshing dip in the Pacific Ocean. Parasailing is a seasonal activity and only runs from mid-May to mid-December.
Flights
Fly at 1200 feet for an exciting adventure above the Pacific. Flights last about an hour and generally begin departing at 9 a.m., depending on the season. All flights end with a refreshing dip in the ocean as you make your way back to the boat! If heights aren’t your thing, you can tag along as an observer and get in on the action from the water. Boats can accommodate 10-12 people. Remember, parasailing is a seasonal activity on Maui and only operates from May to December, so plan accordingly.
Location
Compromised of 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
Check-in for your parasailing adventure under the green umbrella fronting Whalers Village on Kaʻanapali Beach. 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 as well, with a maximum weight limit of 450 pounds. This is one of Maui’s most unique activities.

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
