Parasailing - For all the Family

Andalucia is the perfect destination for many types of marine activities, with its long coastline and endless hours of sunshine promising warm weather and perfect sea conditions. The Costa de Sol has an excellent selection of reputable companies offering these types of exciting water sports.

If you enjoy exciting, adventurous yet completely effortless pastimes in beautiful surroundings, then parasailing is for you.

What is parasailing?

A parasailing (also known as parascending) flight consist of being towed behind a powerboat, rising up in to the air on a parachute, and flying at heights of up to 200m (600 feet). You wear a lifejacket and safety harness, securely in sitting position under the chute, either alone or in groups of two, three or four. The experience typically lasts around 10-15 minutes.

For an even more memorable flight, book a sunset ride and watch the sky turn pink and gold from a unique above-the-waves viewing point.

You don't need any fitness level to go parasailing, or prior training; in fact, you don't even need to know how to swim!
