“Booked for my nephew and his friend as a birthday present however was sent a text message the day before informing me this activity was not available. The company however did offer an alternative of Jet skiing however a little disappointed to find the boys had to share 1 jet ski between them meaning they only got a 15 minute experience each. The original activity was for a 30 minute parasailing which they both would have experienced the activity for 30 minutes. Never the less the boys had fun. Just thought the price paid vs the length of time and notice given wasn’t justified.”

“Our first time parasailing and we loved it. There was ten of on the boat five pairs of two and we all got a good amount of time parasailing. I would recommend going first and getting over with if you're the nervous type, we were the last pair and we got more and more nervous as the time went by. But we needn't have worried and we felt perfectly safe up there. Our only criticism would be the cost of the video and photo's they took during our flight. 30 Euro's is excessive for what we were offered. Granted the video was taken by us on a Go Pro which…”
