The Big Island
Adventures would not be complete without mention of Hawaii Parasailing.
Parasailing Hawaii is only done from one location, Kona, so you'll have
to make your way into town to harness up to your parasail equipment and
head skyward.
Parasailing on
the Big Island is done virtually every week of the year as compared to
its counterpart on Maui which closes for the Winter during the whale
season. Flight can be either single or in tandem with a friend and the
boats here make use of a wench system in which you are reeled out from a
platform on the back of the boat and then reeled back in to a safe
landing right back onto the boat. You'll never even get wet, unless you
ask the captain for a "dunk and go" on the way down.
PARASAILING - is available year round on the Big Island. Parasailors
are on the boat for approximately one hour with a maximum of six flyers
per trip. Participants are winched on and off the boat hydraulically for
fail-safe and dry landings. Tandem flights are available with a maximum
weight of 350 lbs. depending on wind conditions. No age requirement but
participants must weigh at least 120 lbs. to fly alone.
