Parasailing is an exciting water sport that lets you soar high above the sea while being towed behind a boat. Strapped into a secure harness attached to a parachute (called a parasail), you gently lift off from the back of the boat as it accelerates. The experience offers breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline and ocean from hundreds of feet in the air. It’s both peaceful and thrilling — a mix of flying and floating. Most rides last about 8–15 minutes in the air and are safe for beginners. You don’t need any prior experience to enjoy this adventure.
