I felt like I was flying. Unforgettable.
How to parasail
It made me
unbelievably happy! 
"I was nervous, but once we were in the air, I loved every minute of the beath-taking view and had so much fun!"
How I did it: We saw people parasailing and found a couple places right on the beach near us that you could parasail with. We asked for information and found a company that did a bench and one that did a harnass. My friend Sarah and I wanted the bench while our friend Megs wanted the harnass. We even managed to talk the price down a bit because the harnass was cheaper. So we got the bench for the harnass price. We took a waverunner to a boat where we then sat on the pretty comfrotable seat. When the parachute was unfurled and the boat sped up, we were slowly released into the air, up to about 300-350ft. since we didn't have to hold on to anything really, we were able to take a lot of great pics. When it was over, our bench was reeled back onto the boat.
Lessons & tips: In this bench, you had lifevests but were not strapped in, which scared our friend into using the harnass version from a different company. But we were perfectly safe and I wasn't scared at all once we were in the air. And we were comfortable. Don't be afraid!

was so relaxing! I had no fear at all. It was just me, the air and the sea under, it was magical. I recommend trying to everyone!

This was really really fun. It is very quiet up there. I did it in Mexico.
Incredible!

I’ve wanted to try this for a long time, but didn’t know what to expect. It was not at all what I thought; it was MUCH better!
When you are up in the air, you do not feel the sensation of movement at all. In fact, this is what I imagine weightlessness would feel like. What shocked me the most was the silence up there, as I expected the rush of wind to be deafening. The view from the air is priceless.
Absolutely a must-do for anyone who is interested in the slightest.

When we lived in Hawaii, I went parasailing with my hubby and a friend. It was a wonderful experience! I highly recommend it to everyone out there!
I am a bit afraid of heights (which I think is a natural fear for most humans), and I also despise that falling sensation that you get on rollercoasters… so I was really nervous!
I’m happy to report that parasailing is not like flying, and there is no falling sensation at all. It actually feels more like floating. It’s the neastest sensation. It’s as though you have suddenly become weightless, and you just float away from the earth.

It is not something I can clearly describe with words. They do not justify the adrenaline rush that comes from sitting on a boat and 30 seconds later flying through the sky. It is the complete feeling of freedom. The view was incredible, I suggest taking a camera up with you because after a few seconds of being up there you no longer have the desire to hold on!
So much fun!!

I’ve done this twice!! Both times in Mexico. One time by myself and the other was tandem. Both ways are great!!
