What to expect
You'll arrive at the parasailing base, get fitted with a life jacket and harness, then board the tow boat. The crew will brief you on what happens next—a smooth ascent as you're winched skyward behind the moving vessel. The higher you climb, the smaller the beach gets. You'll have time to settle in, snap photos, and simply hang there taking in the sprawl of the coast. The descent is just as controlled. Expect salt spray, wind in your face, and the strange sensation of weightlessness before you're gently lowered back to the boat.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have significant heart concerns. Bring sunscreen and a camera in a secure pouch. Alcoholic drinks and snacks aren't included, so eat beforehand or pack light refreshments to consume before boarding.
