What the day feels like
What the experience feels like
You meet at the dock, complete waivers and hear the crew’s safety briefing; the boat then heads out to sea, the parachute is inflated and you’re hooked in for an 8–10 minute parasail ride behind the vessel before the boat brings everyone back to the dock.
