The experience
The harness goes on at the boat before you leave the harbor, and within minutes you're rising into Cabo's clear sky. The boat does the work. You sit back and watch the Arch, Lovers' Beach, and the entire shoreline drop away beneath you. Ten minutes at altitude is the standard flight, long enough to steady your breathing and take in the view, short enough that the rush doesn't fade. Wind and water conditions set your exact height, but 600 feet is the target, and on a calm day that's what you'll reach.
The operator has run parasailing here for 20 years, so the crew knows the timing and the water. When your flight ends, you're brought down gently to the boat's platform: dry and comfortable if you choose that route, or skimming the surface of the bay if you want one more moment in the air. While you're up, the rest of the group watches from the boat and takes their own turn. The whole outing runs about 90 minutes from departure to return, though if the boat leaves with fewer passengers, the time on the water shortens while your flight stays the full 10 minutes.
Children as young as 7 can fly, and you don't need any special fitness level. The boat and the harness do the physical work. A certified guide runs the activity in English or Spanish, and all the safety equipment is included. Bring a camera or phone in a waterproof case if you want to capture the moment. The operator also offers souvenir photos and a DVD of your flight for purchase.
Is this one for you?The boat handles all the work. You're fitted, lifted, and brought back down without paddling or climbing. This suits anyone who wants the view and the rush without the physical effort of getting airborne yourself.

Top questions
What languages is the tour guided in?
Live guide in English and Spanish.
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
How high do you actually go on the parasail?
You rise to 600 feet above Cabo San Lucas Bay, depending on wind and water conditions on the day. From that height you see the Arch, Lovers' Beach, and the entire Cabo shoreline spread out below.
Can you parasail alone, or do you have to fly with someone else?
You can fly solo or with a friend, as long as your combined weight is between 120 and 550 pounds. The operator will pair you based on weight and preference.
What happens if you're afraid of heights or not comfortable in the water?
The boat stays in the harbor and you're never in the water. You're lifted from the boat's platform and brought back down to it. If you want to avoid even a water skim at the end, you can choose a dry landing instead.
How long is the actual flight time in the air?
Your flight lasts 10 minutes. The whole outing takes about 90 minutes from when you leave the harbor, which includes time for the crew to fit your harness, the boat ride out, and waiting for other flyers to take their turn.
What's included in the price, and what costs extra?
The certified guide, all safety equipment, and the harness are included. Souvenir photos and a DVD of your flight are available to purchase separately. Gratuities and the dock fee are not included.
Is there a minimum age, and can children go?
Children as young as 7 years old can parasail, but they must be accompanied by an adult. All fitness levels are welcome, and the activity is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or pregnancy.
