Soar above Maunalua Bay on tandem parasailing at 500 or 700 feet. Smooth ride, big ocean views, photos available, about 1 hour.
“Hiting the highest point of the parasailing gave us an amazing view of the island, it was a view that is breathtaking”
30-minute tandem Yamaha jet ski ride in calm Maunalua Bay with a safety briefing, guided course, and Oahu views of the Ko’olau Mountains.
“Check in process was sloppy and they don’t allow you to take your phones with you so they can charge you for pictures. They put a gooro on your jet ski for videos then halfway through your short ride they gave you come back in to switch the go pro to pictures. Not only are you not showing me to take my own video and pictures now you’re wearing my ride time”
Cruise Waikiki on a luxury catamaran for 3 hours, snorkel for sea turtles, then try SUP, kayak, sea scooters, and more.
“I thought the whole crew did an amazing job. They were detailed oriented and had safety in mind first which was great for this trip as we were on our honeymoon. Dustan Brewer happened to be a crew member who just so happened to go to school at Blue Springs south which I worked at back in Kansas City. He did a great job at communicating with us throughout our trip. Thank you!”

Waikiki 2-hour snorkeling and ocean waterpark on a 55-ft double-decker catamaran: slide, jump platform, turtles, and shaded comfort.
“The boat was great had everything you needed even restrooms on board. Was fun time going down the slide, went snorkelling and saw fish and turtles. The crew were lovely and so friendly. We definitely enjoyed our time on this tour. Would recommend!”
Private eFoil lesson near Waikiki with simulator ground school, radio helmets, and 60 minutes in the water to learn controlled flying.
