The experience
A balloon lifts you 8-10 minutes into the air above Medano Beach, where the views open to the Cabo San Lucas Arch, the Sea of Cortez on one side and the Pacific on the other. The rock formations below and the curve of the coastline come into focus as you rise. You feel the ascent and the weight of the air. The adrenaline builds as the beach and boats shrink beneath you. Whether you go alone or with someone else, the flight is the core of the experience. The moment the activity is built around.
The whole outing runs about 90 minutes. You get a safety briefing before you go up, a life jacket for the flight, and the parasailing ride itself. A guide leads the activity and speaks English or Spanish. Cameras and phones stay on the ground because of the risk of dropping them into the water, so the memory is yours alone to carry.
Weight limits apply: you need to be between 180 and 340 pounds to parasail, or if you're a child under that weight, you can go up with an adult to meet the minimum. Your height must be at least 1.35 meters. The activity is not recommended for anyone with heart, back, neck or hip problems, spinal injuries, or poor cardiovascular health. Pregnancy is also a reason to sit this one out. Moderate physical fitness is expected.
