Steve and Nate were professional and top notch. The excursion was smooth, the weather was great. Our group of boat mates was amazing. The feeling of going high into the air and the peaceful and serene views was not what I was expecting and a nice surprise. Music on the boat was great too! It was my first time and I’d love to do it again!

This is amazing. This is the first time we have tried the parasailing. I should say that is fantastic. The people are super friendly, professional and funny. We had a great conversation during our adventure and I highly recommend this!

Steve and Trent were awesome , reassuring and kept us safe. This was worth every dollar. I would recommend this for all ages and family’s .

Memories that last a lifetime!

Melissa_S, Jul 2026
Best time ever and an experience with memories made that will last a lifetime! Highly recommend and a MUST DO! We had a booking deal for $88 per person so my daughter booked for her family and then when I went to book the app was down and so I had to book on another site and didn't get the deal for $88 had to pay $100 each so we didht miss going with our fsmily! Would have been much happier to have tipped that extra $40 to the captain and his partner! Didn't matter in the end just the tip didn't get allocated.

More than a feeling…

First timers!!

Jessica_A, Jun 2026
These guys made our first experience amazing and smooth! They were informative and made it easy! Mine and my 4 kids first experience. We were scared of the height, but, this was such a positive and great experience!

Elizabeth_B, Jun 2026
It was the first time I had been parasailing and the Captain and his mate made the experience a wonderful and memorable one. The boat ride was great and the time in the air was unforgettable. Great time

The boat left without us....

Clay_S, May 2026
The boat left without us. No one called to check on us as guests to see if we were coming or ask our status or tell us that they left us. We had difficulty getting to the dock because of heavy rain and traffic and were 10 mins late. I called their number and the representative said she doubted the captain would refund us. I rescheduled for next morning (she said I would only be allowed to do this one time) as the family was disappointed, however, after an hour I texted our cancellation to their number (with still no reply) because it didn’t leave us enough time for our flight the next day.

Shorter Flight time

Heena_R, May 2026
Its a good experience however flight time was a little short for the price you pay. But the boat ride was very fun.

Amazing trip

Kalee_M, Apr 2026

Jean_W, Apr 2026
The Captain and the helper were pleasant, and they were engaging. They made sure we all had the experience we wanted. We will do it every year w this group.

Great experience!

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
It was a perfect experience, with friendly staff! Very professional, and laid down ground rules. They had a good sense of humor and made sure we had fun.

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

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.

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
