Grand Cayman Parasailing Adventure

grand-cayman-parasailing-adventure-in-george-town-173993Tour description provided by Viator From Lonely Planet

Fly high over the glittering Caribbean during a peaceful parasail ride off the shores of Grand Cayman Island. Soak up gorgeous aerial views of Seven Mile Beach and spot marine life in the waters below, before dipping gently into the water and then landing safely on the boat. After instruction from an experienced and certified crew, go solo or grab up to two friends for your 7- to 9-minute adventure in the air. Bonus: Hotel transport from select locations is included.

If you’re staying in Seven Mile Beach, a shuttle boat pulls up right to your sandy shores to take you to the docks. If your hotel lies outside of this zone, you’ll be provided with info on a nearby pickup location. At the docks, climb aboard your US Coast Guard-certified commercial water-sports Ocean Pro parasail boat. Your experienced crew shows you the vessel’s state-of-the-art winch systems. While other parasailing tours can be found in Grand Cayman Island, rest assured that this crew — with a longstanding, spotless passenger safety record — will give you a memorable outing with your safety in mind. Your professionally trained and certified captain navigates your boat to an ideal location based on weather conditions. Receive a safety briefing and get ready to parasail solo, with a companion, or hold on with two friends and fly as a trio. Crewmembers strap you into your harness attached to a rope. As the boat speeds ahead and your parasail billows, rise effortlessly into the sky. Reach a height of 800 feet (244 meters) as you soar high above the water, your heart pumping with adrenaline with every moment of the 7 to 9 minutes you’re in the air. Take in bird’s-eye views of the sparkling blue Caribbean, the crescent-shaped wonder of Seven Mile Beach, and peek below to make out fish and other marine life darting in the waters. Dial up the thrills with a ‘free fall dip,’ kissing the water before you land softly back on the boat. During your sky-high glide, your crew on board captures your adventure with a professional camera and telescoping lens. Photo packages can be purchased after the tour; have fun scrolling through and posting action shots on Facebook to showcase your Caribbean vacation. After your tour, return to your departure point. Total time on the boat is 30 minutes.
