H2O Sports Hawaii runs out of Hawaii Kai, a short scenic drive east of Waikiki. Everything happens on a private, permitted stretch of Maunalua Bay; jet skiing, parasailing, banana boat and bumper tube rides all launch from one dock with one team, with Diamond Head and the Koʻolau mountains in view.
Getting out there is part of it. A water taxi takes you from Kapua Pond into the bay, where the Ocean Lounge, a vessel built specifically for these waters, is moored. Behind it sits the HydroHoist, a submerged dock that lets you step straight onto a jet ski without swimming, or simply lounge in the middle of the bay while the rest of your group heads out.
Pick the activities you want and skip the ones you don’t. Nothing here requires experience.
Rip & Dip Signature combo / from $139 per person / ages 8+
The one most people book. Soar 600 feet above the Pacific on a parasail, then rip across the open water on a tandem jet ski. One booking, two of the best things on the bay.
Details
Jet Ski From $75 per person / solo or tandem
Yamaha WaveRunners on a marked course inside the protected waters of Maunalua Bay. Open water and real speed without the crowded Waikiki lineup.
Details
Parasail From $90 per person / 6 or fewer per boat
Most parasail operators near Waikiki put a dozen or more people on one boat. H2O Sports caps theirs at six, which means shorter waits between flights and a better view, since you are not watching everyone else go first.
Details
Banana Boat From $63 per person / up to 6 riders
Group fun, plain and simple. Climb onto an inflatable banana boat, hold on, and get towed behind a jet ski across the bay.
Details
Bumper Tube From $63 per person / up to 3 riders
An inflatable tube towed behind a jet ski, twisting and turning across the water. Shorter and rowdier than the banana boat.
Details
Packages From $160 / two or three activities
You do not have to pick just one. Packages bundle activities into a single visit, which works out better value than booking separately and means one check-in and one water taxi ride for the whole group.

Arrive at the H2O Sports check-in location in Hawaii Kai. The crew confirms your booking, goes over what you have chosen, and gets you ready for the ride out.
A short water taxi ride takes you from the turquoise water of Kapua Pond out into Maunalua Bay, where the Ocean Lounge is moored.
Life vests are fitted and the crew runs through the safety briefing for your activity. No experience or licence is needed for anything on the bay.
Head out for jet skiing, parasailing, a banana boat or a bumper tube ride — or several of them if you booked a package. The HydroHoist dock lets you step straight onto a jet ski without swimming.
Between activities, or if you would rather watch, the Ocean Lounge sits in the middle of the bay with room to relax while the rest of your group is out on the water.
The water taxi brings you back in. Storage bins hold your things throughout, and there is space to change before you head off.
In Hawaii Kai, on Maunalua Bay — a short scenic drive east of Waikiki, past Diamond Head. Activities take place on a private, permitted stretch of the bay rather than in the crowded water off Waikiki.
Jet ski, parasail, banana boat, bumper tube, and the signature Rip & Dip combo which pairs a 600-foot parasail flight with a tandem jet ski ride. Packages bundle two or three activities into one visit.
You check in on land, then take a water taxi from Kapua Pond out to the Ocean Lounge, a vessel moored in the middle of the bay. All activities launch from there.
A submerged dock system behind the Ocean Lounge. It lets you step straight onto a jet ski without swimming, and gives guests somewhere safe to lounge in the middle of the bay.
No. None of the activities require prior experience or a licence. The crew gives a safety briefing before you go out.
Banana boat and bumper tube start at $63 per person, jet ski at $75, parasail at $90, and the Rip & Dip combo at $139. Two-activity packages are $160 and three-activity packages are $190. Prices are subject to change.
The signature combo: a 600-foot parasail flight plus a 30-minute tandem jet ski ride, booked together. Minimum age 8 and minimum weight 50 lbs. A solo jet ski upgrade is available for $40.
Parasailing is for ages 8 and up with a minimum weight of 50 lbs, and a maximum of 450 lbs in the parachute. Jet ski riders aged 5 and up may ride with an adult, but solo riders must be 16 or older and two minors may not ride together.
Six or fewer, including observers. Two people fly at a time. Smaller boats mean shorter waits between flights and more attention from the crew.
The standard flight uses 600 feet of line. An 800-foot high flyer is available as a $15 upgrade. Expect 45 minutes to an hour on the boat with a minimum 6-minute flight.
Both are 15-minute rides, priced per person. The banana boat takes up to 6 riders and the bumper tube up to 3, depending on total weight. Bumper tube runs Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, excluding holidays.
Yes. Observers are welcome for a $50 fee and can ride the boat and watch. Parents can also stay on the Ocean Lounge while the rest of the group is out on the water.
Round-trip transport from Waikiki is available on the Rip & Dip for an additional $15. For other activities you will need to make your own way to Hawaii Kai.
Swimwear worn under your clothes, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen and a change of clothes. Storage bins are provided on the activities platform, and life vests and safety gear are included.
Yes, reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for parasailing. Some activities also depend on wind and ocean conditions on the day.
