Parasailing H2O launches from the pier in Lanzarote for a brisk, airborne encounter with the island’s coast: riders are towed behind a powerboat, clipped into a harness beneath a parachute and lifted as high as 100 meters for an approximately 10‑minute flight. The operator runs the activity year‑round with small groups and multilingual instructors, offering single, tandem or triple flights and on‑board safety briefings and photo coverage.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE VIEW

Aerial perspectives up to 100 meters

From the parachute you get a rare, quiet view of Lanzarote’s shoreline — the flight reaches more than 100 meters above the water and lasts about 10 minutes, long enough for striking photos and a vivid memory of altitude and surf.

THE RIG

Modern harnesses, single‑line tow and safety kit

Participants are fitted with a lifejacket and harness and fly from a motorboat equipped for parasailing; guides issue a safety briefing before launch and handle takeoff and recovery.

THE GROUP

Small‑boat operation, flexible passenger options

Flights run for individuals or parties of two or three; the boat carries a maximum of 12 people, so the outing retains a small‑group feel while accommodating solo flyers and friends alike.

What the day feels like

How the outing feels

You board a powerboat at the pier, receive a concise safety briefing in English, Spanish or French, don a life jacket and harness, then stride to the launch platform as the boat accelerates. The towline lifts you steadily into the air; for roughly ten minutes you hang aloft with the sea shrinking beneath you, then you float back to the boat for recovery and a return to the pier. Guides handle rigging, launch and landing, and usually capture photographs of the flight.
