Category:
Country: New Zealand
Duration:
01:30 hours
Description
Enjoy stunning bird's eye views over the Bay of Islands on an exciting parasail flight with New Zealand's highest Parasailing.
Brighten up the sky in a bright-coloured 'Smiley' parachute as you soar over the Bay of Islands. Fly solo or with your friends as you choose from a single, tandem, or triple parasail flight.
Friendly staff will greet you and fit you into a well-suited life jacket and harness. Then, cruise off with your experienced skipper to experience the ultimate rush. Sit back, relax as you are gently lifted of the back deck of our purpose built parasail boats, and enjoy the beautiful and peaceful scenery at 1300ft of towline. You can even opt to use a special purpose built harness that enables you to hang upside down. Your skippers control the winch that slowly releases you into the air. Your arms and legs are free - so be sure to remember your camera or purchase our Go pro video package.
Soar in the air for about 10 to 12-minutes before the skipper gives you a free fall and an optional dip in the water before he pulls you back onto the boat. The whole duration of your trips lasts about 1 to 1.5-hours. Feel safe and taken care of, as all your skippers go through extensive parasail specific training and have years of experience behind them.
Highlights
- Marvel at the views over the Bay of Islands
- Experience the ultimate rush by hanging upside down
