    What To Expect

    Begin your Tahoe parasailing experience at the tour office in South Lake Tahoe, where you check in and head to the powerboat with your experienced crew. Parasailing rides are usually done in groups, so you may be paired with one or two other people, depending on the weight of all participants on the boat.

    After you’re strapped securely into your harness, attached to a rope, your captain starts the boat and increases the speed, sending you high into the air. When you reach your desired height (chosen at checkout), depending on option selected when booking, feel your heart thumping as you look at the water far below and take in the surrounding mountains, forest, and lakeside scenery.

    Return to the marina at the end of the experience.

    Parasailing was excellent

    Aidan_M, Sep 2026
    Experience was excellent. Grateful that we booked later in the season so it was quieter and we had more air time.

    Maxim_M, Aug 2026
    It was really great experience, we had a lot of fun and it was very safe! Just heads up that it said 45mins duration. It was only 30 mins for us, and 10mins actually parasailing (there was another group). Not sure if I booked if I knew it will be that short

    Fun and safe even if you’re afraid of heights

    Mariama_G, Jul 2026
    This experience is one of the best I’ve ever had. It was a balmy day. We signed waivers, took photos and were on the boat. Once on the drivers explained the process. I’m afraid of heights but felt so comfortable in their presence. We went first. They put us in harnesses and we held onto a bar and then we were up. We had a go pro to record our flight—it’s on even if the screen is dark. It feel so calm and freeing. I enjoyed looking over the lake and felt relaxed and safe. I’d do it again. My 12 yo son came with and asked to be dipped. They did a respectful dip into the lake—just our feet We wore bathing suits and shorts. I had on sunglasses. They have a secure vessel for your belonging. They also photograph your flight The photo and video package was $100 and it’s digitally connected to your phone. Tip them. They deserve it for their kindness and professionalism toward everyone.

    This experience was exilarating. Our family had so much fun! Our children are still talking about it and want to do it again when we go back.

    Great time. Worked out perfectly with our schedule.

    The parasailng was great....

    Rachel_P, Jul 2026
    The parasailng was great. The only annoying thing was being repeatedly told to "check in" 30 min before scheduled time, then having to sit around 30 minutes before they actually check you in. Show up 5 min before your scheduled start time and save yourself 25 min.

    Parasailing for 13 year old birthday

    Monte_R, Jun 2026
    Went parasailing on the Shark 2. Reservation was for 2PM. They were punctual. Meet us at the designated point and took us out to the boat. It was me, my grand daughter and her best friend. There were 2 other ladies flying that day. The captain and his assistant were friendly and professional. Had a good time talking while they were gearing us up and heading out to parasail. The 3 of us launched and it was a blast. They asked if we’r we wanted “dipped” into the lake… of course we do. Safety was a priority. They explained all the rules like if we need bright in to have us scissors or legs. Nice knowing there was an escape plan if needed. We were up in the air for probably 10-15 minutes. They dipped us at the end just up to our knees. The lake was pet cool that day. Girls thought it was epic and we would do it again. They take pictures of the experience. Lots of pictures can be bought and downloaded to a phone for $60. Totally worth it to us. Highly recommend this experience to everyone.

    Breathe taking
