Parasailing Tours
Make the most of your trip in paradise with a parasailing tour in Grace Bay. Feel the rush of soaring above the ocean as you take in the aerial views of the world’s most beautiful beach. Parasailing is the perfect way to add more adventure and unforgettable memories to your vacation. As you glide above the water, keep your eyes out for JoJo, the country’s famous wild Atlantic bottlenose dolphin.
You can pick your parasailing group size, with the option to fly solo, with one other person, two people, or three people. Most parasailers opt to ride with someone. The parasailing rides use 1,000 feet of rope, which allows you to fly about 400 to 500 feet above the water. Your fun-filled ride will last about 12 to 15 minutes. Choose your landing, with the option to dip in the water or stay dry and return directly to the boat.
From start to finish, parasailing tours last about 1.5 hours. Pick-up and drop-off are available in the Grace Bay area, with service to hotels and villas. The parasailing boat can also pick you up at Turtle Cove Marina. Parasailing trips are $90 per person, excluding a 12% government tax. You can get an early-bird special of only $80 (plus tax) for flights before 10 AM.
Private tours are another option for group events. If you have a wedding party or group and want to book a private tour, rates start at $950 per boat (not including 12% tax), which includes up to 12 guests.
