Kailua, HI Outdoor Activities

X-Treme Parasail ferries clients along Honolulu's coastal waters by land, air, and sea with trolley, parasail, jet-ski, and powerboat rides with the option of hotel pickup. The staff and family of watersports enthusiasts who founded the business share a love of the region's coastal beauty. Tours aboard the custom-built Honolulu Screamer send passengers zooming amid Hawaii's diverse wildlife, and jet skis vie with motorcycle gangs of sharks for supremacy of the seas. For an aerial lay of the land, boats tow human kites above the ocean's azure playing field during parasail adventures.

Aqua Zone Scuba Diving & Snorkeling Center owner and captain Devon Merrifield and his team of certified instructors and staff share a deep love for Honolulu's sprawling, clear coastal waters. Each member of the nine-person crew sought Hawaii's warm waters after garnering experience along faraway shores in places such as Oregon, Thailand, and Kansas. Today, the sprightly team shares its passion for the sea via snorkeling and scuba-diving tours, cruises along the reef or to shipwreck sites, and onsite or in-pool diving training. Throughout each excursion, Aqua Zone's staff remain committed to sea turtle conservation, informing customers of the endangered creatures' lifestyle, behavior, and ecosystem. Staff members also sanitize each of the dive center's silicone dry snorkels and masks, as well as prescription masks, after each use, leaving divers worry-free so they can focus on ventures such as braiding an octopus's tentacles.
