I was initially terrified about the idea of parasailing but the boat captain and first hand were great. It ended up being a great time. I was in the air for the appropriate time in my opinion and only got slightly queasy towards the end. Would definitely do it again.

The experience was awesome!! It was the first time for me & my 11 year old granddaughter went parasailing. I thought I might be scared but not at all . The views were amazing & beautiful!!! The staff were friendly, helpful & attentive to safety .. I’d do it again !!

Just an average flight

Jessica_G, Aug 2026
It is just an average parasailing experience. The boat was quite crowded. Be prepared to get soaked. They did not tell us to secure our belongings prior to getting on the boat. Bring nothing with you since it is a rough, wet ride. If you are sensitive about your weight be forewarned the crew will publicly humiliate you if you weigh over 145 lbs. Your weight will be announced to everyone several times. The co-captain smokes cigarettes during the ride. The flight itself is fun but extremely windy.

Good, wish they wouldn’t smoke on board

Elizabeth_H, Aug 2026
It was good, a very windy day which wasn’t the fault of the parasailing company. The operators did smoke on the boat with was very off putting for me and my family. That’s why I gave them 4/5 stars.

Fun time and great people

It was awesome! My friend and I loved it. They were gentle and brought you down as soon as you asked them to if you were scared.

Be ware of this company

Robert_G, Jul 2026
We book this and got to location on time after an hour of waiting with no help form the persons behind the desk we were told it would be an additional hours before we could this activity so I requested a refund it has been almost a week and nothing has been refunded to me I and I feel like this is a scam with this company so please be aware of this company and find a different one to use

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for sharing this — and just to clarify the situation, you were informed on‑site that we were having mechanical issues with the boat. The team explained that the repair was taking much longer than expected, which is why the departure time kept getting pushed back. We understand how frustrating that is, and we’re sorry the delay affected your plans. Your refund request is already in process, and we appreciate your patience while it’s being completed.

I was told to meet at the...

Steven_B, Jul 2026
I was told to meet at the bread basket at 11am. I was there from 1045am to 11:14am. Nobody showed up at the location specified.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for your review — and just to clarify, you never wait at a restaurant for a watersport activity. The Bread Basket is simply the meeting reference point, but the actual check‑in and activity take place at our desk, on the same premises, on the beach side, where the boats and crew operate. It sounds like you were waiting in the correct general area but not at the beachside activity zone. We’re sorry for the confusion and appreciate you letting us know.

Parasailing fun

Gabriel_M, Jul 2026
Thank you Nathan and Shabba for this cool adventure! This made my vacation even better. I saw some sea turtles and had a lot of fun in mid air :)

exhilarating & Fun!

Bianca_A, Jul 2026
this was so fun & a new experience! the guys driving the boat were so nice & accommodating with the parasailing as well! i was a little scared to touch the water & they respected that and didn’t dip me. one of the best experiences i’ll take from here. 10/10 would definitely do again!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you so much for sharing this — we’re really happy to hear you had such a fun experience. The team will appreciate your kind words, especially about how they accommodated your parasailing preferences. We’re glad it turned into a 10/10 moment for you.

Must do experience

Artivous_S, Jul 2026
The parasailing was fun and the captain Anna his first mate were fun And attentive. I would recommend this activity to anyone.

Very cool experience all...

Jamie_L, Jul 2026
Very cool experience all of the kids and I enjoyed it and certainly a worthwhile experience. Crew was experienced and explained everything prior to launching. Ask for a dip in the water prior to reeling back in, you’ll probably get it anyway unless you specifically ask not to.

Great parasailing trip!

Teresa_C, Jul 2026
Kids had a great time parasailing! Very organized and the workers (sorry can't remember their names) did such a great job making the kids feel comfortable. Highly recommend!!!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for parasailing with us! We’re so glad the kids had a great time. Our team always works hard to keep everything organized and make young guests feel comfortable, and they’ll appreciate your kind words. Thanks for the recommendation!

Terrifying and Exhilarating

magdalena_s, Jun 2026
I've always wanted to go parasailing but never really mustered the courage to do so. Aruba made me do it! My advice to you is dare to be courageous, you are in good hands with Shabba and Monkey. The entire experice from start to end was a 5/5. They make you feel at ease and despite feeling terrified I listened to their advice and had an exhilarating and unforgettable experience. I am a non swimmer and afraid of heights and I wholeheartedly would recommend these two guys for your experience!

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for sharing this wonderful review. We’re so glad you found the courage to try parasailing — and even happier that Shaba and Monkey helped make it a safe, calm, and unforgettable experience. They take great pride in guiding guests who are nervous or first‑timers, and your kind words will mean a lot to them. We appreciate your wholehearted recommendation and are thrilled you had a 5/5 adventure.

Vacation in Aruba

This was such an amazing experience! The entire AWC team was wonderful, and their hospitality is something I’ll always remember. It truly made the experience even more special.

Checked of my bucket list

Renea_G, Jun 2026
This was an all time high, way out of the box experience for me. My heart almost gave out on meh; Aruba wind is no joke, but im proud to have stepped out of my comfort zone. Thanks much to the two gentle men and the very pleasant young woman at the bar.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re really glad you had such an unforgettable time — stepping out of your comfort zone is no small thing, especially with that Aruba wind. Our two crew members and our bartender will be so happy to know they helped make the adventure feel safe, smooth, and fun. We appreciate you choosing to spend time with us and hope to welcome you back on the water.

So fun, def recommend

Leah_M, Jun 2026
Snorkeling off the island was incredible. Sea turtles and fish were great; the drinks were even better & once the rope swing came out everyone on board was having a great time together

Great time!

April_L, Jun 2026
Had a great time. Captain and first mate were amazing! We are ready to do it again! Perfect weather and sunshine.

The tour guide was great...

jacquelyn_s, Jun 2026
The tour guide was great however the parasailing had a weight limit that we were unaware of . Although we both provided our weight prior to the excursion we were unable to parasail together so we decided not to do it . The lady at the desk did not care that we did not participate in the activity and would not refund our money

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re aware that wind speed and sudden gusts can affect parasailing conditions, and unfortunately this is something we cannot control. Safety has to come first, and the crew always follows the required guidelines when it comes to wind and weight limits. We’re glad to hear your tour guide was great, but we understand how disappointing it was to learn you couldn’t parasail together. Even though weights were provided ahead of time, the final decision is based on real‑time wind conditions, and sometimes that means pairs need to be separated for safety.

Para sailing

This was an amazing experience! The crew was professional, helpful, and fun. I would definitely recommend!

Eugene_B, May 2026
