Xtreme Parasail (with kids)
How Kids-Friendly is Xtreme Parasail?
What makes it 70% Kids-Friendly: Children 5-12 may tandem parasail or ride jet-ski with a parent and get free life vests, yet under-5s are barred from flying, restrooms lack changing tables, and there is no on-board play space.
Positives:
- All safety gear included: X-treme provides U.S. Coast Guard-certified life vests and harnesses at no extra charge.
- Stroller storage: Fold and stow a stroller at your feet on the boat; confirm space with staff before boarding.
Challenges:
- Age restrictions: Kids must be at least 5 to parasail or jet ski; under-5s can only ride the boat.
- Limited restrooms: Only one boat head and harbor restrooms without changing tables; plan diaper changes ashore.

Sundance and Zack were amazing. I told Zack it was my birthday trip and he made the parasailing experience even better. Dipped us multiple times in the water and shook the rope to give us the thrill I wanted. Definitely booking again next trip. Do yourself a favor and book them like NOW!!

Wow!! What a great adventure! Sundance and Kyle were so fun and engaging and made our parasail so fun! The boat ride was fabulous and the parasailing was magical. I'd definitely go again. Check them out when you're in Hawaii!

Captain Dan and Dawson were AWESOME! They were so much fun and they were down for our crazy shenanigans! I think we might have been their first, but they allowed us to bring our mermaid 🧜🏼♀️ dreams to life and parasail in mermaid tails! 🤣😂🤣 go for the water dip! 10/10 recommend this company and the entire experience!
