We had an amazing time parasailing! The captain and sailor were extremely helpful, professional, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Their friendly attitude and clear instructions made us feel safe and relaxed the entire time. Highly recommended – we enjoyed it a lot!

The ride and parasailing was really nice and it was overall a good experience, but it was frustrating the way they stand in front of you when others in your party are going and block you from getting pictures and then charge a lot for pictures later (20 euros per sailing).

Absolutely brilliant experience for my daughter and granddaughter, they loved it, they felt safe and said it was a really smooth and relaxing experience.

This was such a great experience and the staff was incredible. Our family of 5 went on New Year’s Eve 2025. The three kids (ages 17, 15 and 7) went first. We weren’t sure how the 7 year old would do, but she LOVED it. It was a little cold in December, but other than touching our feet briefly in the water, we didn’t get wet. I highly recommend them. A highlight of our trip for sure. Easy to find in the Albufeira Marina.

We thoroughly enjoyed this paragliding experience. The weather was excellent, which made it even more enjoyable. We were greeted by highly experienced guides who gave us a quick safety briefing before we were launched into the air. The whole experience lasted about 10 minutes, after which we were returned to the marina. I highly recommend this activity.
Gemma_R, Dec 2025
The parasailing was so good. Fully explained nice lads looked after us. Highly recommend you do this.
Andy_C, Nov 2025

Jerome and Lucas were excellent in the boat. They made every effort to ensure us, and especially the kids (5&7), were happy and had a great time. We were told the weather could have been a bit too windy but they would go out and check for us. We appreciated this and we all managed to get a flight- kids included. They were both very friendly, we would definitely recommend it and especially a trip with Jerome and Lucas!

This is a great experience to be had. You will get wet, so wear swim wear. Staff are polite and friendly.

We loved the experience. Our family was well taken care of and the staff were very good with instructions (English speaking). We got great photos and it was a wonderful adventure.
Katarzyna_S, Sep 2025
It was super fun! Bit scary due to hight but once you’re up there it os very quiet and the view is amazing.
We loved it
Dawn_J, Sep 2025
The driver of the boat was dangerous. He was also arrogant and rude when we spoke to him and we felt unsafe. My husband has his costal skippers license so knows the rules of the water. Please don’t go…
Martin_B, Aug 2025
It was a great experience, if a little too short!. The crew were friendly and everything was very straightforward!

Andrew_M, Jul 2025
We had a great time, the journey out was just as good as the paragliding. Spent about 8-10 in the air before they dunked us in to the sea. Would highly recommend! Thanks
danielle_b, Jun 2025
Despite having both the tickets and confirmation email, we got a phone call saying they hadn’t received the booking and there were no seats available so we would have to go on a later trip. We then recived a phone call 10 minutes before we were due to check in saying we would not be able to go at all because of the conditions of the sea. Very disappointed as we were looking forward to going and that was the only day we could have done it
Jessie_L, May 2025
My first parasailing experience and I had the most fun experience with the crew! The crew were really experienced and made the whole experience so fun and enjoyable while making sure safety of the passengers is top priority. We also received a pleasant welcome from the team to help us with the check in process. Thank you and I highly recommend this to anyone!
Zerak_W, May 2025

We were informed that it might be choppy for kids as the weather had been bad but we went out anyway and it was no bother at all for my 10 year old. We both get sea sick but as you are only away an hour or so it really was not an issue. My child looove the speed boat jumping in the Waves ..a lovely way of seeing the cost from up the paraglider. Good staff that made us feel safe and comfortable. We be back next year!
Response from Host, Oct 2024

What can I say about this experience apart from it was the best thing I've done with my family, I was so hesitant at the start but once I was up there it was so tranquil and the views were breath taking, the staff were so friendly and very well organised. Would highly recommend you give it a go,,,, you won't be disappointed.

Absolute Terrible service and shocking customer service never have I been to a place that is so ignorant to someone that uses a wheelchair. Literally booked and turned up and the girl on the desk said she would ask could my daughter go on this trip and came back saying she could once she has/ could move her legs my daughter can move her legs is not disabled but chose to use a chair as she has arthritis. She was so excited to go until they came back just as we were leaving for the trip saying she could not go as she is not walking and she would have to walk a small bit
As I told her my husband would give her a piggy back to this area and she said no. I then said she can go on her bum as she can put weight on her legs and don’t need help and if she did he would help her. She abruptly refused and I asked her what was the difference getting from A to B wheather it’s on foot or not once you get there unaided she couldn’t answer. I would not recommend booking with this shower.
I went down the road and literally only they been booked out today they said they would take her no problem. How disappointing that one or two people can set a person back heaps. Anyhow my point been really check into these people before booking and been let down.
INCLUSION NOT DISGRACEFUL YES
Response from Host, Nov 2024

We payed 60 bux for all the photos and NEVER received them. Also no reactions if i call.
The moment we got on we got made fun off because we were apperently blind and had our shoes on. Although no one told us we had to take them off.
The paraseiling itself was AMAZING but this really was unnessescary taking our 60 euro's AND that attitude
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Dear customer,
We greatly appreciate your feedback and apologize for the entire situation. We will pass on your evaluation to our colleagues.
We are glad that, above all, you enjoyed the Parasailing experience and hope you can repeat it on another occasion.
