PARASAILING
Discover the exciting water sport where the ocean meet the sky. Enjoy the best of both worlds as you soar through the sky in peaceful, but exhilarating solitude or go to new limits with other adventurous friends. It is a great way to get a bird's eye view of Oahu. Hover or soar, you decide how high up in the air you want to go, starting from a couple of feet going all the way up to 800 feet high.

FLIGHTSEEING
Take a helicopter ride and discover all the secret places you cannot visit on ground. From the air you will be able to see Oahu's many green valleys, majestic mountains, and miles of fantastic, white shore line. It is one of the best ways to discover the true beauty of this diverse island.

GLIDING
Paragliding is a great way to enjoy gorgeous bird's eye views from new heights, while gliding silently through the sky. What better place than Oahu, an island that offers spectacular vistas of the blue Pacific Ocean as well as the island’s green, lush valleys and mountain ranges. From up high, you may discover a secret beach, cascading waterfalls, and hidden valleys. If this is your first time paragliding, you are up for an unforgettable experience.

SKYDIVING
All sky adventures are thrilling but there’s nothing quite like the adrenaline rush of skydiving. Get a different perspective of Oahu. If it’s your first time, you may want to do a tandem jump with an instructor harnessed to your back. The wind rushes around you, and the sensation of pure excitement rushes through your entire being as you freefall and dive silently through the air before the instructor pulls the parachute cord and then suddenly, the whole world stops. As if floating on a cloud, you drift slowly and peacefully down, amazed by the beauty of the island and the complete quiet and serenity of the moment. Skydiving is a thrilling adventure but to make the ride worthwhile by picking a beautiful location like Oahu to make the memory sweeter with an experience and scenic vistas that will literally leave you breathless.
