Soar above Waikiki’s turquoise waters and golden beaches, with sweeping views of Oahu and Diamond Head from the air.

About this tour

Rise above Waikiki on an Oahu Waikiki parasailing trip, where the island’s bright shoreline and turquoise water unfold beneath you. From the air, take in the busy beaches, colorful cityscape, and the unmistakable profile of Diamond Head.

Your experience begins with a boat ride from scenic Waikiki Beach, followed by a parasailing flight with equipment and a life vest provided. As you glide above the coast, enjoy a fresh perspective on Oahu and the calm of leaving the city bustle below. Keep an eye on the water during the boat ride; sea turtles, dolphins, and whales may appear. A professional team provides instruction and assistance throughout the experience.

The trip takes up to an hour from check-in to return, though weather and group size can affect timing. Arrive 30 minutes before your reservation, since boarding takes place shortly before departure. Choose Oahu Waikiki parasailing for an easygoing aerial adventure and a memorable view of Hawaii’s coast.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.66 from 1,575 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide 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 Oahu
  • 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 7.9. Top 19% in Oahu means it ranks in the top 19% of tours in Oahu by this score.
