Hurghada Parasailing: Red Sea Flight with Transfers & Safety

Summary

Parasail above Hurghada’s Red Sea coast for wild views & pure thrill

You’ll get picked up right at your hotel in Hurghada before heading out for a parasailing flight over the Red Sea—no experience needed! With certified guides handling safety and gear checks, you’ll soar high above turquoise water for wild views of the coastline before an easy landing back on deck.

What’s the experience like?

We barely had time to second-guess ourselves before the van pulled up outside our hotel in Hurghada. The driver grinned and waved us in—he had that calm “seen it all” energy, which helped a bit. At the marina, the air was salty and there was this mix of sunscreen and engine oil, not unpleasant, just real. Our guide (I think his name was Samir?) handed me a harness and said something about “flying like a bird.” I laughed—nervous, maybe—but he just winked and checked the straps twice.

The boat ride out was louder than I expected, wind slapping my face and music playing from someone’s phone. When they clipped us into the parasail rig, my hands were sweaty but I tried to play it cool. Suddenly we were lifting off—slow at first, then quick—and everything below shrank so fast. The water turned this unreal turquoise, and Hurghada’s buildings looked like toy blocks. My friend yelled something I couldn’t hear over the wind; honestly, I was too busy staring at how tiny the boats looked. Up there you get this weird mix of quiet and adrenaline—my heart pounding but also this hush that made me want to laugh for no reason.

I didn’t expect to feel so light—or to notice how warm the sun felt on my arms even that high up. Samir waved from below (tiny now) and gave us a thumbs-up. There was a moment when we just floated, nothing but wind in my ears and that sharp smell of sea air. Coming down felt almost too soon. My legs wobbled when we landed back on deck (Samir caught me before I could embarrass myself). We joked about my jelly knees all the way back to shore.
