Malta: Parasailing Adventure with Photos & Valletta Views

Fly above Malta’s coast for wild city views and salty air

You’ll feel your stomach flip as you lift off from a boat near Sliema and float high above Malta’s coast—Valletta and St Julian’s spread out below. With a local crew guiding every step (and snapping photos), you’ll get both the thrill of flight and a safe landing. It’s quick but unforgettable—one of those things you’ll remember every time you see the sea.

The Experience

"You ready to go up?" our guide grinned, already handing me the harness before I could second-guess myself. The boat rocked gently in Sliema’s harbor, sunlight bouncing off the water so bright I had to squint. There was this faint smell of sunscreen and seaweed, and someone’s laughter from the shaded seats behind us — a family from Gozo, I think. We’d barely left shore when my nerves kicked in, but honestly, it was more excitement than fear.

I didn’t expect how quiet everything would get once we were up there. The city — Valletta’s honey-colored walls, little boats darting around — looked almost toy-like. My shoes dangled uselessly over blue nothingness and the wind whipped my hair into knots (I must’ve looked ridiculous). Our guide shouted something about St Julian’s off to the right, but his voice just sort of floated away. For those 10 minutes or whatever it was (felt both longer and shorter), all I heard was wind and my own heartbeat.

Landing back on the boat was smoother than I thought — no splash, just a weirdly gentle thud. They snapped photos while we were still grinning like idiots; those are included, by the way, so you don’t have to worry about dropping your phone into the Med. There were people who didn’t fly that day — just sat under the canopy watching and waving. Kind of wish I’d asked their stories too.
