Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great fun, awesome crew on the boat and in office, laid back and fun, yet professional and felt totally safe at all times. Elliot was the man, he needs a pay rise… 👍😁

Really easy to book in, although with a cruise ship in port that day I was surprised it was that easy!
Husband and teen daughters did a triple parasail. I could have gone on as a passenger but decided to use that money to purchase the photo package instead.
The three of them loved it and requested the full dunking 😆.
There were 3 other groups on board, a single, double and another triple. If you want a full dunking see if you can go last so you are not on the boat in the wind and wet clothes!
They were gone for 1.5hours but visible most of the time from the shore.

A really great experience. Easy to find on the day and booking was a breeze, even when I made a mistake and booked on the wrong date, it was easily fixed. Hubby and I were a bit nervous as heights aren’t really our favorite, but the staff were professional and also had a great sense of humor that distracted us from the fact that we were about to be about 300m in the air. It’s a gradual ascent into the air, not sudden like we were fearing it would be. Wonderful views when up in the air and the photo/video package is available and you take home the SD card straight away which saves a lot of fluffing around. Glad we went, it’s definitely worth a try! Cheers guys.

My husband Tony and I went on a trip of a lifetime this morning.
We have been following the bright orange parachute 🪂 high in the skies around the bay since arriving on Tuesday.
Tony fears nothing and loves everything adventurous but I’m frightened of everything BUT I did so want to “give it a go”.
It was absolutely incredible and I’m on cloud nine now!
Johnny and Elliot were stupendous and I would like to thank them for their kindness, expertise and friendliness.
A highlight of our New Zealand trip.

My parents and I tried triple flight and my uncle and aunt experienced twin fight and we all love it very much ! Enjoy the moment leaving and landing the speedboat and enjoy the wind and the view from 400 meters high ! The best thing is no age limitation - my families are seventy or eighty years old and played high ^^

An excellent way to get some spectacular views over Paihia and the surrounding area! Staff were very professional, friendly and had a good sense of humour!!

One of the longest ‘flight times’ we have experienced, we were soaring for around 12 minutes!

Highly recommended for travellers of any age (over 7 or 8) for kids!

Never had done anything like it, but was an incredible experience. The guys on the boat were both professional, as well as had a great sense of humour!
