Go Hawaii Watersports – Parasailing in Waikiki
Soar above Waikiki with Go Hawaii Watersports on a parasailing ride with 600-foot, 800-foot or 1,000-foot flight options.
View Tour →Go Hawaii Watersports runs Waikiki-area parasailing, snorkel, sunset cruise, fireworks cruise and fishing options from Kewalo Basin Harbor in Honolulu.
Go Hawaii Watersports turns the deep-blue swath between Kewalo Basin and Ala Moana Beach into a one-stop playground where parasails, jet skis and tow-inflatable rides share the same salty grin. The marina sits ten minutes west of Waikiki, yet the city buzz fades the moment the crew casts off and Honolulu's skyline starts sliding astern. Light trade winds keep the chop gentle, reef shelves paint the water turquoise, and green sea turtles often surface alongside the dock to see what the noise is about.
The headline thrill is a smooth 500-foot parasail flight. Winch-launch systems lift you straight off the deck—no wet takeoff—so you float above the Pacific with Diamond Head framing one horizon and the Waianae Range anchoring the other. Tandem harnesses let couples share the ride, and photo upgrades mount a GoPro on the towline for easy bragging rights. Back on deck, crew members rotate guests onto Yamaha WaveRunners for a buoy-marked circuit that invites wide open throttles without straying into shipping lanes, covering the high-octane slice of the water-sports scene.
Friends looking for a shared laugh jump aboard six-person banana boats and bumper tubes that whip tight S-curves behind the center-console towboat. Speeds adjust to comfort level—slow bounces for younger kids, sharper sprays for anyone ready to hold on harder. Between rotations, shaded benches and an ice-water cooler keep the vibe relaxed, and guides point out sunken barges where reef fish cluster under the hull. Morning sessions slot neatly before beach time, while late-day runs chase low sun that throws gold light across Ala Wai Harbor.
All packages include U.S. Coast Guard life vests, dual-throttle jet skis for stable control and parasail gear inspected daily. Crew briefings cover right-of-way rules and turtle-zone speed limits, underscoring the company's pledge to follow Oahu's Wildlife Watch guidelines. Reef-safe sunscreen dispensers replace single-use packets, and reused shower-water runoff irrigates native plants along the pier. Lockers, hot showers and a small snack bar sit steps from the boat ramp, and validated parking keeps city meters from eating into playtime. Blend a morning lift over the waves with an afternoon stroll through Ala Moana Center, or string the thrills into a broader lineup of parasailing and coastal boat tours around the island. However you mix the options, Go Hawaii Watersports supplies the horsepower, harnesses and friendly coaching that turn Honolulu's waterfront into your personal splash zone.
