Soar above Maui’s Ka'anapali coastline on a 6- or 9-minute parasail flight, with sweeping ocean views from up to 1,200 feet.

About this tour

Rise above Maui’s blue Pacific and watch the Ka'anapali coastline unfold from the air on a Maui parasailing experience. Choose an 800-foot or 1,200-foot flight and enjoy sweeping views as you glide over the water before landing smoothly back on the boat.

The outing includes an approximately 45–60-minute boat ride, with 6 minutes in the air on the 800-foot option or 9 minutes on the 1,200-foot option. Fly solo, tandem, or triple, subject to weight limits and the captain’s safety judgment. The boat accommodates up to 12 passengers, and the provider says shared trips are typically arranged for a more comfortable experience. Non-flying observers must accompany a parasailer.

Meet on the beach in front of Whaler’s Village 30 minutes before departure and look for the blue umbrellas. With a live English-speaking guide and mobile ticket, this Maui parasailing experience makes it easy to focus on the views. Choose your flight height and get ready to see Ka'anapali from a fresh perspective.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.95 from 428 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Maui
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.0. Top 7% in Maui means it ranks in the top 7% of tours in Maui by this score.
