    Review summary

    4.0
    Very Good
    23 reviews•Google Maps

    Most visitors rave about the friendly, safety-conscious crew who excel at putting nervous first-timers at ease. Families especially appreciate how the staff interacts with kids, with one reviewer highlighting Beto's "grandpa energy" during the shuttle ride. The deckhands get consistent praise for clear instructions and making launches and landings smooth, even for anxious parasailers. Several people mention the option to bring family members along as observers for a small fee, which is a nice touch that keeps everyone together. The main hiccup to be aware of: occasional overbooking can lead to long waits in the heat, with one group reporting a 2.5-hour delay with no refreshments offered. There's also been at least one frustrating booking mix-up where a confirmed online reservation didn't match their actual schedule, followed by unprofessional communication from management. These seem like operational growing pains rather than the norm, but it's worth confirming your reservation and maybe bringing water just in case. When things go smoothly though, the actual parasailing experience consistently delivers, with captains working skillfully even in challenging wind conditions.
