Top 3 Historical Days Out

1.Parasailing over the Historic Key West Seaport

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 210 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $49Our pick

Fly above Key West Seaport with Sunset Watersports, Florida’s original parasailing company. Expect up to an hour on the boat, an 8 to 15 minute flight, views toward the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, and the option to touch the water. Singles, doubles, and triples can ride together.

“They open at 8 and the pricing is different for different times. The Logan’s were great. They explained how the flights would work and asked if we wanted to touch the water. It was such a neat experience and we would love to do it again. We heartily recommend this experience!”

3.Parasailing Over Historic Charleston Harbor

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 4 reviews · from $30Best value

From Shrimp Boat Lane in Mount Pleasant, Captain Cocktail Cruises takes you over historic Charleston Harbor for about 90 minutes. You receive safety instruction, use a swing-style harness, and rise from the boat before returning upright. Morning and afternoon departures are available, with equipment and bottled water provided.

“We waited at the designated area for 35 minutes, messaged the guide via Viator, called the ‘phone number…no response from either. Definitely feel like we’ve been scammed out of $220. This was to be the highlight of our weekend getaway! Poor service for sure.”
