Captains Jake and Steve...

Lynn_A, Oct 2025

Captains Jake and Steve were super friendly and super enjoyable to be on the boat with. My kids had a great time and loved their parasailing experience.

Don't miss this!

Trudy_L, Aug 2025

This was my first time parasailing and I must say that the Island Head Parasailing crew did a great job making me feel safe and secure. It was an experience I will do again.

Owner is horrible ! Would NOT recommend

Christina_C, Aug 2025

Horrible!!!!! We did NOT get to go parasailing. Owner is argumentative! Zero stars! Viator was blamed for our problem. Long story, would be happy to explain over phone. I recorded call between myself and 1 of the owners, he’s a HUGE jerk. I’m surprised he’s still in business .

Relaxation

Denise_F, Jul 2025

Good views from above, serene, time with my kid above water. Nothing else comes to mind at this time.

It was a perfect...

Kirah_K, Jul 2025

Enjoyable Overall, But Not the Most Welcoming

Elham_S, Jul 2025

The activity itself was fun and smooth, and I would definitely do it again. However, I did feel a bit left out during the experience. I was the only minority in the group, and it seemed like I was the only one the staff didn’t really engage with—aside from when I was putting on the gear. The guy wasn’t very friendly toward me, which made the experience feel less welcoming. I’d consider doing this again, but probably with a different company that makes everyone feel equally included.

had a blast …. peaceful

Randal_R, Jun 2025

We had a great time from first getting there with parking lot young lady directing to space to amazing time in air so peaceful and Crew (Jackson and Captain) keeping us safe and providing fun!

Parasailing Fun

Beth_W, Jun 2025

We enjoyed our parasailing adventure. My granddaughter had a great time. The captain and is helper made the experience very enjoyable

This was extremely fun....

Robert_K, Jun 2025

This was extremely fun. My 10year old granddaughter loved it. Would go again. The crew was excellent.

Parasailing for 2

Rebecca_G, Jun 2025

The parasailing was fun but we paid for 90 min and was only on the parasail for maybe 10 mins. The whole ride was only 60 mins.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Each ride is 10 minutes which is what you paid for if you look at the discription, the trip time does vary on how many people are on board your trip. Since it wasn't a full boat there were less rides. That is why your total time on the boat was a little shorter. Thanks for parasailing with us!

A good time!

Janeesha_Y, May 2025

I went parasailing with my god daughter for her first time. She enjoyed it and the crew was very helpful and welcoming for her first time. They were on time, friendly, and safety was a priority. Would def book again. Thanks.

So fun!

Jeremy_D, May 2025

Such a fun time and saw so many dolphins! The staff was so helpful and put everyone at ease. A high light of our trip to Hilton Head for sure!

Great experience

James_T, May 2025

It's was a great experience started a little late but great I recommend this. It was our first time and it went smoothly.

The boat ride was nice it...

Irma_B, May 2025

The boat ride was nice it was about 15 minutes into the water and then the parasailing was breathtaking.

Excellent activity with teens!

Katherine_R, Apr 2025

Very gentle and awesome experience! My son had a knee brace and he had no problems at all. The guys were friendly and the view was incredible.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

I'll tell ya that knee is no joke! Super happy you guys didn't have any problems and enjoyable! Come back and see us!

First timers coming back

kibba_f, Mar 2025

Great experience very peaceful as first timers. You have the choice to be dry or wet (dipped) in the water. Definitely will come back to do it with other. Good to know it is in SC not far from home. Simple process, great instructors, and safety first. Go book

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Can't wait to see you soon glad you guys enjoyed!

Highly recommend

chris_p, Mar 2025

Fantastic time with my family. The views from above were amazing and the takeoff/landing was very smooth. Also the captain/crew were very friendly.

Great experience!

Heather_K, Dec 2024

This was a perfect experience! The boat ride was amazing and parasailing was a very fun activity for our entire group (ages 9-48). I loved the memories that we made as a family! The captain and crew hand were amazing!

Awesome experience!

Lindsey_H, Dec 2024

I took 5 boys parasailing yesterday for the 1st time and they loved it! They can’t wait to do it again! I don’t remember the captains name or the deck hand but they were both great! Highly recommend!

Will definately do.it again when i visit hilton head

jacqueline_b, Sep 2024

This was a bucket list and i am so glad i did it with the crew i did!!! Nathan was funny and very calming for first timers like everyone on the boat.

Great time parasailing

Suzanne_A, Sep 2024

The guys on the boat were AWESOME! We had with us a 15 year old that is kind of scared of heights, an 11 year old and hat is autistic and an 8 year old. They worked very well with the boys and their fears.

Family that flys together

Andrea_G, Sep 2024

Went with family and had a ton of fun. Staff was very friendly. Really enjoyed our time and the boat ride was also fun.

Parasalling activity

NIKITA_J, Aug 2024

Weather interrupted the activity but the captain and mate did everything they could to give us a memorable experience. They were very professional and kind. I would recommend this crew and event to anyone.

Best Experience Ever!

Cathy_M, Aug 2024

Everything went so smoothly. The Captain was so skilled and capable. The deck mate was so helpful and explained everything clearly. It was so much fun!

Loved Parasailing!

Christy_N, Jul 2024

Awesome kid-friendly activity! There was a dolphin swimming underneath us, which made the experience that much more special. Highly recommend!

Great view of Hilton Head

Sarah_W, Jul 2024

We had a great time. It was a really cool experience.. What a wonderful way to see the island!! I would definitely recommend this trip!

Great flight

Larry_R, Jul 2024

Captain Steve sailed us greatly. Nice adventure. Any age should try. I’m 82. Recommend highly. Fun😎

Fun times!

Nathan_P, Jul 2024

We had a great time! Took a friend of mine for the first time, and they were very happy with how easy and fun this was.

Wished there were more...

Andy_S, Jul 2024

Wished there were more rounds. The advertised time was 10:30 to 12:10 which is 1 hour 40 min. But we ended up fully on the dock at 11:47 after a 10:32 departure time which felt like it was short-circuited. Also shared with another family which took some rounds that could have been ours. If you are riding, note that each person will get just 1 round up in the sky for the entire duration of the trip..
