This is the water sport where you are hooked up to a parachute and then are pulled by a motor boat via a cord. The pull of the boat fills the parachute with air and allows you to hover above the ocean reeling in and out during the course of the ride.
Most Maui parasailing experiences are set to be about ten minutes long and usually costs over $40 per person. Being at such a height gives riders the chance to experience the natural and lush views of the island. If you are looking for the best setting for your adventure then try and book a parasailing ride just off of Lahaina.
For your own safety please only use reputable and recognized companies that are qualified in the use and set up of the equipment. The top companies for parasailing in Maui are listed below with their contact details:
Parasail Kaanapali - This Company operates an impressive 900 foot tow line and charges in the region of $40 for a ride.
