What To Expect
Take an exciting parasailing boat ride off the coast of Albufeira, enjoying the panoramic views of the beautiful tourist city and the sandy beaches of Portugal. For 10 exciting minutes, feel the wind in your face as you fly over the water and enjoy the landscape from an aerial view.
This activity begins at Marina de Albufeira, where the crew will give you a security briefing and you will be delivered a life jacket and a armor that will connect to your parachutes.
After you board the boat, you go to the open waters. The skipper holds you to the armor, opens the parachute and slowly releases the cable to start the flight. Reach a height of up to 80 meters and feel the adrenaline as you fly over the ocean for an unforgettable experience.
The total duration of the boat ride is 1.5 hours, depending on the number of people. Single and triple flights are subject to the conditions and techniques of the sea. After everyone has the opportunity to fly, enjoy the boat ride back to the marina.
