PARASAILING

Maui Parasailing

Maui parasailing offers an exciting opportunity for adventure lovers to glide high above the island's stunning coastal waters. Here’s what you can expect:

• Season & Departure Location: Parasailing operates from May 16th to December 14th, coinciding with the whale off-season. Flights take off from Kaanapali on Maui’s West Side, offering spectacular views of Lahaina, the West Maui Mountains, and the Pacific Ocean.
• Flight Options: Participants can opt for the “touch and go” experience, where they briefly dip near the ocean before soaring back up, or choose a dry return to the boat. Riders have the flexibility to parasail solo or with a friend.
• Flight Duration & Height: Flights last around 9-12 minutes, reaching heights between 25 and 50 stories, depending on wind conditions and rider weight.
• Considerations: Peak months are June and July, so early booking is advised to secure preferred flight times. “Early-Bird Flights” often come at discounted rates. Observers are welcome to ride the boat at a reduced rate, but sunscreen is essential, especially for midday flights as shade is limited on the boats.

This parasailing adventure provides a thrilling combination of high-flying excitement and serene views, making it an unforgettable way to experience Maui’s beauty. Whether you’re seeking a heart-pounding ride or a peaceful aerial view, parasailing is sure to be a highlight of your visit to the island.
