How does parasailing work in Benidorm?
Parasailing has become very popular in coastal Spanish cities and for a good reason! From your bird’s eye view, find your resort, the city of Benidorm, and the turquoise sea.
The parasailing adventure is not only fun, but the crew will take your safety and comfort into account. You’ll be strapped securely to the harness and parachute, and most crews speak multiple languages including Spanish, French, and English. The captain will always keep an out for proper wind and weather conditions to determine where exactly you fly.
On this Benidorm parasailing experience, you’ll take off and land on a motorboat. When the boat picks up speed, you’ll lift into the air, tethered to the boat. Soon, you’re floating above the sea while being pulled by the boat! When it’s time to come down, the crew will reel you in, and you’ll land safely on the boat—so you don’t need to get wet.
