Parascending – Parasailing behind a Motorboat

Parascending, also known as parasailing, is an exciting form of water recreation that combines elements of aviation and water sports. It involves flying with a parachute pulled by a motorboat, allowing participants to soar high above the water, enjoying incredible views and a sense of freedom.

The parascending experience begins with fitting a special harness that is attached to the parachute. The participant is then connected to a rope pulled by the motorboat. As the boat accelerates, the parachute fills with air and begins to lift the person upward. The flight usually takes place at an altitude of 50 to 100 meters, though some locations offer flights at even higher altitudes.

One of the greatest advantages of parascending is the ability to admire stunning landscapes from a completely new perspective. The views from above are often breathtaking – blue waters, sandy coastlines, and panoramic scenery.

Parascending is an activity available to a wide age range, from children to older adults, provided there are no health contraindications. It is an attraction for both those seeking adrenaline and those who simply wish to peacefully enjoy bird’s-eye views.

Safety is a top priority during parascending. Before the flight, participants receive instructions from qualified staff, and all equipment is regularly inspected and maintained.

The parachute can accommodate up to 3 adults. The total time of the adventure is about one hour, including a short boat ride, preparation, and a 15-minute flight. The minimum age for this attraction is just 2 years old.
