Mackinaw Parasailing invites you to trade the shoreline for sky-high serenity above Lake Huron and the iconic Mackinac Bridge. This family-owned crew, led by U.S. Coast Guard–licensed captains, pairs top-of-the-line equipment with...
The crew here clearly knows how to put nervous fliers at ease. Jim, the owner, along with his team members like Jacob, Jordan, Lewis, and Colton, get consistent praise for being friendly, funny, and thoroughly explaining every step of the process. Multiple first-timers mention feeling scared initially but ending up having the time of their lives, with the guides showing genuine patience in making sure everyone feels comfortable before takeoff. The actual parasailing experience delivers spectacular aerial views of the lake and surrounding area, with plenty of time in the air to soak it all in. Families love it (even 9-year-olds), and the crew keeps things entertaining throughout the boat ride while others take their turns. The team shows flexibility too, offering options like getting dunked in the water (or skipping it if it's too chilly) and working with groups who need last-minute additions. One small note: if you purchase the photo package, you might want to use the GoPro footage they provide rather than relying solely on their selected shots. The crew's accommodating nature and ability to create memorable experiences keeps people coming back for more.
My friends took me here to try parasailing for the first time while I visited Michigan and they made it such a memorable experience. The crew made me feel safe the entire time and they were lots of fun and very friendly!
