Parasailing Adventure On Marine Try Fly – Sharm El Sheikh

The big draw here is simple: you rise 40 to 50 meters above Naama Bay and look down on its hotels, restaurants, and bazaars from a moving parachute. You do not need prior experience, and the captain and crew handle the technical work while you enjoy the view.

I like the included speedboat ride and the choice to fly alone or with another person. I also like that the crew is described as CPR and Advanced First Aid certified, with regularly inspected equipment. The main concern is practical: the information gives both Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh as the location, so confirm the exact meeting point before you set off.

Key points at a glance

• Ten minutes in the air: The flight itself is listed as about 10 minutes within an activity lasting roughly 30 minutes.
• A high view of Naama Bay: From 40 to 50 meters up, you can see the bay’s hotels, restaurants, and bazaars from a very different angle.
• No prior training required: The captain and crew manage the operation and provide guidance.
• Solo or paired flight: You can fly alone or with one other person, depending on the setup at the time.
• Safety equipment included: You receive a life jacket and the required parasailing equipment, with the crew described as CPR and Advanced First Aid certified.
• Check the location carefully: The details refer to Naama Bay in Sharm El Sheikh, but also name Hurghada. Ask for confirmation before booking transportation.

Taking off above Naama Bay

Parasailing is a straightforward activity. You board a speedboat, put on a life jacket, and attach to a parachute while the boat pulls you away from shore. As the boat moves, the parachute lifts you gradually until you are flying high above the water.

The listed height is 40 to 50 meters, or about 164 feet at the upper end. That is high enough to give you a broad view without requiring you to operate anything yourself. Your job is mainly to sit or stand as directed, stay connected to the harness, and enjoy the ride.

The activity lasts around 30 minutes, but the actual flight time is about 10 minutes. That distinction matters. If you are booking this as a major half-day outing, it will feel too short. If you want a quick burst of excitement between time at the beach, lunch, or shopping in Naama Bay, the length makes more sense.

You can choose to fly alone or with another person. A paired flight can be a nice choice if you want to share the view with a friend or family member, while a solo flight may suit you if you prefer a little more space. The available arrangement can depend on the boat and crew, so treat the choice as an option rather than a guaranteed private flight.

The view from 40 to 50 meters

The view is the real reason to book. From the water, Naama Bay is a familiar resort setting. From above, the hotels, restaurants, and bazaars become part of a larger picture, with the coastline and open water spread below you.

This is not a sightseeing flight over all of Sharm El Sheikh. The experience is focused on the bay and its immediate surroundings. That limited scope is also what keeps the activity short and relatively inexpensive.

You will have the chance to see the area from an angle that a normal beach day cannot provide. The height should give you enough time to look around, take in the shape of the bay, and enjoy the sensation of being lifted behind the boat. The supplied details do not promise photographs or video, so do not book it assuming a camera service is included.

The advertised price is $12 per person, which is low for an activity involving a boat, crew, safety gear, and a flight. You should also add the stated National Park fee of €5 per person, payable in cash. Because the fee is listed separately and in a different currency, carry suitable cash and confirm the exact amount before departure.

At that combined cost, this can be good value for someone who wants one memorable activity without committing to a full-day boat trip. It is less compelling if you are mainly seeking long time on the water, reef viewing, or several water sports in one outing, since none of those are included.

What the 30-minute outing includes

The listed meeting point is Naama Bay, and the activity ends back there. No private transportation is included, so you need to arrange your own way to the meeting point.

Once you arrive, the experience should move through the basic preparation steps: meeting the guide or crew, receiving a life jacket, getting safety instructions, and boarding the speedboat. The captain and crew are responsible for the launch, tow, flight, and return to the boat.

The equipment package includes the parasailing setup, life jacket, speedboat, and safety equipment. Guide assistance is also included. No special parasailing training is required, which keeps the activity accessible to people who have never tried it before.

The flight is the central part of the outing. You rise behind the moving boat, spend about 10 minutes in the air, and then return to the boat before heading back to the meeting point. Since the total duration is only about 30 minutes, expect a compact experience rather than a leisurely boat excursion.

A group can include up to 15 people. That is small enough to avoid the feel of a huge operation, but it does mean your exact wait time can depend on how many people are flying and whether you are taking a solo or paired turn.

Safety information worth taking seriously

The safety information is one of the stronger parts of this activity. The crew is described as certified, CPR and Advanced First Aid certified, and the equipment is said to be inspected and certified regularly.

Those details do not remove every risk from a water activity, but they give you useful questions to ask before boarding. You can confirm who is supervising the flight, how the harness is fitted, and what the crew wants you to do during takeoff and landing.

No prior experience is required. That means the crew, rather than you, controls the main technical elements. You should still listen closely to the briefing and follow instructions, especially when getting onto the boat or preparing for launch.

The listing says most people can participate and that service animals are allowed. It does not provide a detailed medical, mobility, or age policy. If you have a health concern, mobility limitation, or question about the harness, contact the provider before booking rather than relying on the general statement that most people can take part.

The location problem: Sharm El Sheikh or Hurghada?

This is the most important booking detail to clear up. The experience is titled for Sharm El Sheikh, and the meeting point is given as Naama Bay, which is in Sharm El Sheikh. Yet the tour summary names Hurghada as the location.

Those destinations are not interchangeable. They are separate Red Sea resort areas, and taking a taxi to the wrong one would be an expensive and frustrating mistake. The supplied information does not explain the mismatch.

I would contact Delight Trips before arranging transport and ask for the exact meeting point, the resort area, and the name of the departure location. Save the written confirmation on your phone. This is especially important because one customer reported arriving after a cancellation message had not been seen and then finding that the local staff could not identify the booking.

That report does not prove the same problem will happen to you, but it is a good reason to check your messages on the day of the activity and confirm the booking before leaving your hotel. The provider responded by asking for the customer’s date, hotel name, and room number to investigate, so keep your booking details available if anything goes wrong.

Timing, transport, and the cash fee

The experience does not include private transportation. If you are staying outside Naama Bay, you will need to arrange a taxi or another form of transport yourself. Leave enough time for the journey and for finding the exact meeting point, since the location information needs confirmation.

The National Park fee is listed as €5 per person in cash. This is separate from the advertised $12 price. With small local activities, extra fees can be easy to overlook, so factor this into your budget from the start.

The activity is booked, on average, 20 days ahead. That figure suggests you should not assume a last-minute place will always be available, particularly if you are visiting during a busy period. If your schedule is tight, reserve early, then use the free cancellation window if your plans change.

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations made less than 24 hours before the activity are not accepted for a refund. The cutoff uses local time, so check the time shown on your confirmation rather than counting backward casually.

A mobile ticket is offered, which is handy when you are moving between a hotel and the bay. I would still save an offline copy or screenshot, since a phone signal or battery problem is an avoidable nuisance.

Who will enjoy this most?

This is a good match for you if you want a short, easy-to-book thrill with a strong view and little physical preparation. First-time parasailers should find the format approachable because no previous experience is required and the crew handles the operation.

It also suits couples, friends, and families who want to fly together or take turns. The option for one or two people at a time gives you some flexibility, although the exact arrangement should be confirmed with the crew.

The activity may appeal to people who are already spending time in Naama Bay and want something that fits into a larger day. At about 30 minutes, it will not take over your schedule.

I would think twice if you dislike heights, feel uneasy about being towed behind a boat, or want a long and varied sea excursion. The flight is brief, and the activity does not include private transport, meals, reef stops, or other water sports.

What the rating and limited feedback mean for your decision

The overall rating is 3.8 from four reviews, which is a small sample. It is not enough to draw a firm conclusion about day-to-day performance, but it does mean you should read the practical details carefully rather than booking on the rating alone.

The clearest negative issue concerns communication and the cancellation problem described above. The customer had already left the hotel, paid for taxis, and walked in the midday heat before discovering that the local staff did not know about the booking. That is a serious inconvenience, even though the provider asked for more details to investigate.

There is no specific guide name provided, so you cannot request a particular captain by name. The strongest operational information available is that the crew provides guidance, has stated first-aid credentials, and uses regularly inspected equipment.

I would place more weight on confirming the date, meeting point, and cancellation status than on the rating. Those checks cost you little and directly address the main practical risk identified in the available information.

Is $12 good value?

At $12 per person, the price is attractive. Add the €5 National Park fee, and you still have a relatively inexpensive way to see Naama Bay from above, especially if you are already nearby and do not need a private taxi.

The value comes from the combination of a speedboat, safety gear, crew assistance, and a 10-minute flight. You are paying for a compact experience, not a full day on the sea.

Group discounts may be available, which could make it more appealing for families or friends booking together. The details do not state the discount amount, so ask before assuming a particular saving.

My value judgment is simple: book it if you want a short highlight and can confirm the location. Skip it if your main goal is a long boat day, extensive time on the water, or a more varied itinerary.

Should you book this parasailing ride?

I would book this experience for a short, affordable view of Naama Bay, provided Delight Trips confirms that the departure point is in Sharm El Sheikh and sends clear meeting instructions. The combination of a 40 to 50 meter flight, a 10-minute air time, included equipment, and trained crew gives you a lot for the listed price.

Before paying, confirm four things: the exact location, the date and start time, the separate €5 cash fee, and whether you will fly alone or with another person. If those details are clear, this is a sensible add-on to a Naama Bay day.

If the location remains unclear, do not risk an expensive taxi ride to the wrong resort area. The activity itself is appealing, but good communication is essential when your flight lasts only 10 minutes and your time in Egypt is limited.
