Is parasailing safe for beginners?

Yes. The operator provides a full safety briefing and fits all participants with equipment before launch. No prior experience is needed; the professional crew handles takeoff and landing while you simply enjoy the flight.

What if I'm afraid of heights?

The gradual ascent and secure harness can feel less intense than you might expect, but it's worth considering your comfort level. Speak with the crew on arrival—they can adjust speed or discuss alternatives if you have serious concerns.

You may get splashed during launch and landing, but you won't be fully submerged unless you request a water dip (which some operators offer). Wear quick-dry clothing and protect valuables.

Can I bring a camera or phone?

Cameras and phones can go in a waterproof bag, but loose items risk falling into the sea. Ask the crew about secure mounting or camera-friendly flight paths before departure.

How long is the actual flight time?

The full experience is 30 minutes, which includes safety briefing, equipment fitting, the boat tow-out, and your parasail flight. Actual time in the air is typically 15–20 minutes depending on conditions.

Is there a weight or age limit?

Weight limits usually apply (commonly 45–130 kg / 100–290 lbs, but confirm with the operator). Minimum age is typically 8–10 years with parental consent; check the provider's policy before booking.
