What To Expect
You will venture out onto Lake Taupo on one of our 9-metre purpose-built parasail boats. All flights start and end on the back of our flight deck. So, you don’t need to get wet. Not to say that we won’t dip your feet at the end, if you're keen. Some of our customers just want to get wet. If you’re one of those adventurous people, just let our crew know and don’t forget to wear your togs! The parasail flight is approximately 12 minutes long. Depending on how many groups are on the boat, you’ll be out on the lake for 25 – 60 minutes. Please note this activity is not wheelchair accessible. Combined weight of participants in one flight must be a minimum of 70kg and maximum of 200kg.
