Tomorrow is my birthday and I am so glad that I came parasailing today! The staff was incredible, the weather was perfect. The ride was everything. I wish I could come back again tomorrow on my actual birthday and do it all over! Thank you thank you thank you thank you

It was really fun. I got some awesome photos. The guides were very experienced. The seats surprisingly don’t have seat belts, but it was so smooth that it wasn’t necessary.

Overview

Inhale iconic aerial views from the comfort of an actual seat—not simply a harness—as you experience Cancun's up-to-the-second parasailing attraction, Skyrider. Glide over the Nichupte Lagoon in a comfortable, secure 2-seater, reaching heights of up to 330 feet (100 meters) at speeds of 30 mph (50 kph). Both ascent and descent are smooth and controlled: ask if you want to go down with a splash. Package excludes dock fees.
  • Parasail over Cancun on the modern, comfortable and secure Skyrider system
  • Reach heights of 200–330 feet (60–100 meters) above the Nichupte Lagoon
  • Capture gorgeous aerial photos of your vacation destination
  • Great choice for families—suitable for children over five years

Wasted time and money due to a cancelled event

Viktoriya_S, Feb 2026
Our parasailing was cancelled due to wind and we did not receive any notification and travelled for 1 hr and paid $40 for uber one way to get there just to find out it was cancelled

Yes, and yes!

Kha_H, Feb 2026
Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. If you ever decide to go parasailing in Mexico, id highly recommend you do it with them.

Really fun!! Don’t go if it’s windy

Julyssa, Feb 2026
It was really fun I had a blast at first then the wind picked up and it felt like it was gonna turn on the side and was scary for my first time parasailing and had them land a little earlier than supposed but now i think it was hilarious how I was scared and would do it again lol

Excellent excellent excellent excellent excellent!

Great Time

Brandon_M, Dec 2025
Parasailing was an incredible experience! The crew was professional, friendly, and made the entire process feel safe and easy from start to finish. The takeoff and landing were smooth, and the views from up in the air were absolutely breathtaking. It was the perfect mix of relaxing and exciting, and the staff made sure everyone was comfortable the whole time. If you’re on the fence about parasailing, do it — it’s 100% worth it and something we’ll definitely remember forever.

Great experience, maybe netter with a different driver

Kianna_D, Dec 2025
The parasailing part was awesome!! It was my first time going and it was not as scary as I thought. Now the driver of the boat, was good as far as driving goes. But he was hitting on us so hard it made us uncomfortable. He kept telling us that he wanted all 3 of us for himself and he wanted us to shake our asses for him and the crew.

Awesome Experience

LaToya_W, Dec 2025
Everyone at Aquaworld were friendly, knowledgeable, patient & displayed exemplary customer service. My sister & my parasailing experience was so AMAZING we canceled our clear boat tour with another place &are headed back today for their clear boat tour.

Great Experience

Nicholas_B, Oct 2025
Great experience. Although nature had it that that day was not a windy one. Good communication from captain and helper, photographer was also very supportive.

Sailing itself was great....

karli_b, Aug 2025
Sailing itself was great. The address communication was off. We looked up the physical address that was listed and we were taken too a beach. Hiked all the way across the beach after asking workers where Aquaworld was. After about 20 minutes of walking we found the booth, checked in and waited for the ride. We were taken too a boat on jetski and got into the sail and then were informed we were at the wrong place. Unloaded and got back to the beach and had to hike back to our car and thank goodness the place still took us as we were an hour and a half late.

Best time

Conny_W, Jul 2025
I had a great time! The staff here was wonderful & very friendly, I definitely will be back soon!💯 the excursion wasn’t long about an hour because there are other people with you doing the excursion but you spend about 10 minutes in the air and it’s beautiful

Whitney_H, Jun 2025
Advertisement for fees should be upfront. The customer service was not handled professionally when explaining docking fees.

​Disappointing. I do not...

Yelena_T, Apr 2025
​Disappointing. I do not recommend this ​activity due to its high cost relative to what it offers. 10-minute ​parasailing across the pond, and there is no real view​. ​Additionally, ​they charge an excessive $20 "Port Fee" per person, despite the absence of a proper port. ​Total rip-off.

Awesome Experience

This was a wonderful experience, my first time, definitely not my last time. The staff on the boat were amazing!

It was amazing! Short but amazing. Everyone was fabulous, my family enjoyed parasailing. Looking forward to next time.

Great!

Alexandra_W, Apr 2024
Captain Enrique and Eric were amazing! Great experience! My friend and I had so much! I will say though to pay an extra docking fee per person is definitely gouging

Thank you so much! We're glad that you had such a great time. Hope to see you soon!

Great views of the bay from the sky!

Whitney_A, Apr 2024
It helped that we came on time, we were able to enjoy a nice little boat ride and some pictures on the way to the boat with the sailing equipment. The crew made our safety our priority at all times. The weather was perfect and clear. We got great pictures too!

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you so much for leaving this comment! We're glad that you had such a great time. Hope to see you soon at this tour or maybe another one.

Nice experience 🩷

Vanessa_W, Feb 2024
We had a great time. It was fun & safe. Very comfortable sitting in the skyrider vs traditional parasailing. The water wasn't as pretty because we were on the lagoon side, but still a great experience.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

We are happy that you had a great experience. Thank you for your feedback!

Scenic Experience.

This was a good experience as honeymooners. We enjoyed it and the staff was pleasant and explained everything thoroughly. If you're looking to just enjoy a view, do this.

truly amazing experience. even though it was my first time, they made sure we were safe and comfortable. you can’t beat the price.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

We are happy that you got a great experience. Thank you for your feedback!

Fun time !

Esperanza_B, Aug 2023
$25 fee per person for it being a docking site is unfair in my opinion. It is about an hour excursion. You drive 10 min on a boat, in the air 10 minutes, and drive back about 20 minutes. They give you free water. Staff is nice. It’s high and a little windy. No seatbelts. You don’t get wet. Very fun even if it seems scary glad it was a bench and not the regular harnesses !

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you for describing your experience. We're glad that you had such a great time. Hope to see you soon!

Relaxing Experience

Ryan_B, Aug 2022
We had a great time during this activity. It was very relaxing and got to see a great view. The staff was very friendly and made us feel safe and confident. Do it!

So much fun!

Kristin_L, Aug 2022
Super fun! We were late by our own fault by 20 mins and they let us reschedule for the next day for no extra cost! (there was nothing open for the same day). We were also able to choose the time and they were so helpful. Very fun experience!

The experience was very good, but I found it strange not to have equipment like belts to increase our safety.
