What is Parasailing?

Parasailing involves being towed behind a boat while attached to a specially designed parachute (the parasail). As the boat moves forward, the parachute lifts the rider into the air, offering stunning aerial views of the ocean and surrounding landscape.

Key Features:

• Tandem or Solo: Parasailing can be done solo or with a partner, depending on the size of the parachute and the operator’s offerings.
• Scenic Views: Riders can enjoy breathtaking views of the coastline, islands, and marine life from above.
• Minimal Skill Required: No prior experience is needed; participants simply need to listen to the crew’s instructions.

1. Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep):

   • Offers stunning views of the beaches and surrounding waters, making it a popular spot for parasailing.

2. Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep):

What to Expect:

• Duration: The total experience, including preparation and the actual flight, usually lasts around 30 minutes to an hour, with the flight itself typically lasting 10 to 15 minutes.
• Safety Briefing: Operators provide a safety briefing and equip you with a life jacket and harness before the ride.
• Takeoff and Landing: You take off from a platform on the boat and land back on the boat when the ride is over.
