How high do you go?

What happens if I’m nervous?
This guide answers all those questions and more.
What is Parasailing?
Parasailing is a water activity where you’re securely attached to a specially designed parachute that is lifted into the air by a speedboat.
As the boat accelerates, you gently rise into the sky and enjoy incredible panoramic views of Benidorm’s coastline.
Unlike skydiving, there is no jumping involved.
The take-off and landing are smooth and controlled from the boat.
How high do you go?
One of the most exciting parts of parasailing is the height.
You’ll soar hundreds of feet above the Mediterranean, giving you spectacular views of:
- Benidorm skyline
- Levante Beach
- Poniente Beach
- Sierra Helada Natural Park
- The surrounding Costa Blanca coastline
The higher you go, the quieter everything becomes.
It’s surprisingly peaceful.
Is Parasailing scary?
Most people are nervous before they fly.
Almost everyone says the same thing afterwards:
“That was much calmer than I expected.”
The experience feels more relaxing than extreme.
There are no sudden drops or rollercoaster sensations.
Instead, you gently glide through the air while enjoying the scenery.
Can two or three people fly together?
Yes.
Depending on weather conditions and weight limits, tandem and triple flights are often available.
Flying together is one of the reasons parasailing is so popular with:
- Couples
- Families
- Friends
Sharing the experience makes it even more memorable.
Do I need experience?
No.
Absolutely none.
The crew handles everything and provides a full safety briefing before departure.
Your only job is to sit back and enjoy the view.
Is Parasailing safe?
Parasailing is operated using specialist equipment and experienced crews.
Safety procedures include:
- Equipment checks
- Safety briefing
- Professional boat crew
- Controlled take-off and landing
- Weather monitoring
Following instructions from the crew ensures a safe and enjoyable experience.
What should I wear?
Keep it simple.
Bring:
- Swimwear
- Towel
- Sunglasses with strap

Most people remain relatively dry, although occasional splashes are part of the fun.
