4.00I didn’t realize you were on the boat for an hour, but only up in the air for 5-10 minutes (or at least we were since our boat was full). For that reason, I don’t think I would pay $100 again. If you have the money though, it’s a lot of fun!

1.00I had a very disappointing experience booking a parasailing activity through Viator. Before booking, we clearly explained that we were a group of 5 adults traveling with two young children (ages 2 and 4). We specifically asked if it would be possible for 3 adults to go first while the other 2 stayed back with the kids, and then switch. We were assured that this arrangement would be absolutely fine. However, when we arrived, the tour operator completely refused to honor this. They insisted that all 5 adults must board the boat together and told us to leave our young children at the front desk, which is completely unacceptable and unsafe. When we tried to explain what we were promised at the time of booking, the staff were extremely rude and dismissive. They showed no willingness to accommodate or even discuss the situation. To make matters worse, the operator told us to contact Viator since the booking was made through them, effectively washing their hands of the issue. Now, Viator is also refusing to process a refund, despite the service not being delivered as agreed. This experience felt misleading and poorly managed from start to finish. We made our expectations very clear before booking, and those assurances were not honored at all. I would strongly caution others, especially families with young children, to think twice before booking through Viator or this operator. Very frustrating and disappointing experience.
10/10 recommend!

5.00I was pretty nervous about parasailing, but once I got on the boat and talked to the captain (his names slipping my mind) and Gabe I felt more comfortable about it. They made the whole experience amazing! I felt super safe and would definitely go back!!
Fun

Parasailing operator is awesome but Trip Advisor sucks.

4.00The parasailing group was great. Friendly, helpful and a pleasure to ride with. Trip advisor made mistakes with our booking and the parasailing folks were great about helping us out. In short this parasailing group is amazing and well worth it but Trip Advisor sucks.
