About this experience
Parasailing is the quickest way to see Gran Canaria from a completely different angle. You are towed behind a boat under a parachute canopy and lifted into the air, with the Atlantic below you and the south-west coast of Gran Canaria laid out like a map: the cliffs, the beaches and the line where the island meets the sea.
The whole activity takes about one hour, including preparation and the boat ride out, and the flight itself lasts around 15 minutes. You do not need any experience. Our certified crew handles the instruction and supervision from start to finish, explains what to expect before you go up, and looks after you until you are back on board.
All the safety equipment is provided: harness, life jacket and everything else needed for the flight. The boat ride is included too, so there is nothing extra to arrange. Like every activity at sea, it runs only when the conditions are right, and the crew makes that call on the day.
It is a good choice for couples, groups of friends and families with older children who want something a little more exciting than a day on the beach, without committing a whole day to it. If you have never tried it, this is a gentle introduction: you sit in the harness, the canopy does the work, and all you have to do is enjoy the view. Book it for a morning or afternoon and you still have the rest of the day free for the beach, the pool or another trip.

Frequently asked questions
Where do we meet?
At the marina in Puerto de Mogán, in the south-west of Gran Canaria. We confirm the exact pontoon and time when you book.
Do I need any experience?

How long does it take?
About one hour in total, including preparation and the boat ride. The flight itself lasts around 15 minutes.
Can children fly?
Whether a child can fly depends on the safety rules the crew applies. Tell us their ages when you book and we will confirm before you pay.
Is it safe?
The activity runs only in suitable conditions, with complete safety equipment and a certified crew supervising throughout.
What if the weather is bad?
Every trip depends on the sea. If the skipper decides conditions are not safe, we offer you a new date or cancel at no cost: you pay nothing until the day. We let you know by phone as soon as we know, sometimes the same morning.
How do I pay?
You book online and pay in cash at the marina on the day of the trip: no card is needed and nothing is charged in advance. Your place is held as soon as the booking is made. We also ask for a mobile number, because if the sea changes we call you rather than email.
