Hurghada Parasailing Experience with Hotel Pickup

Summary

Parasailing Over the Red Sea with Local Crew

Float above Hurghada’s Red Sea coast on a parasailing ride with local crew support. You’ll feel the rush of takeoff, soak in bird’s-eye views, and share laughs with your guide before gentle landing — an experience you’ll remember every time you see the sea again.

What’s the experience like?

We were already laughing by the time we reached Hurghada Marina — our driver had pointed out a camel chewing on someone’s hat (not kidding), and I was still thinking about it when we met Samir, our parasailing captain. He handed us life jackets and grinned, “No need to worry, just enjoy.” The air smelled salty and warm, mixed with engine oil from the boats lined up along the dock. I’d never done parasailing before, so my hands were a bit sweaty — not that anyone noticed.

The speedboat took off faster than I expected, wind whipping my hair everywhere. My friend kept shouting something I couldn’t hear over the motor, but then suddenly we were airborne — 30 or maybe 40 meters up? Hard to tell. Everything below shrank: turquoise water, tiny swimmers waving up at us (I waved back, probably looked ridiculous). For those 10 minutes or so, it was just quiet except for the parachute flapping and my own heartbeat. The view of Hurghada from up there is something I still think about — all sun-bleached rooftops and endless blue.

Coming down felt weirdly gentle. Samir caught us with a practiced gesture like he’d done this a thousand times (he probably has). He joked about my landing skills — “You land better than most!” — which I’m pretty sure was just being nice. We hung around for a bit watching another couple go up together; they looked nervous at first but came down grinning. There’s something about seeing the Red Sea from that high up that sticks with you, you know?
