Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE VIEW

Unrivaled aerial perspective of Palm Beach

From aloft you get a compact panorama of the High Rise Hotel strip and the reef-fringed turquoise sea — bring a camera to capture the island from a vantage you can’t reach on land.

THE OPTIONS

Choose single, tandem or triple flights

Flights are offered as solo, tandem or triple runs; the crew pairs riders based on weight and wind restrictions to keep each flight within safety parameters.

THE OPERATIONS

Regular, safety‑minded flights throughout the day

Parasailing runs hourly between mid‑morning and late afternoon; operators emphasize safety and adjust passenger pairing and lift availability according to wind and weather.

What the day feels like

What it feels like to fly

After meeting the crew you’ll be fitted and grouped, then winched aloft for a 12–15 minute flight, hovering above the strip of High Rise Hotel Palm Beach and the clear ocean beyond — an exposed, calm suspension that frames the island and sea below.
