Breathtaking Parasailing Adventures in Key West, Florida
by Eileen Strauss on April 02, 2022
Florida is home to some of the best spots for parasailing in America. An adventure watersport where a person is towed behind a boat while attached to a parasail wing and a harness, parasailing lets you fly like a bird above the clear waters and action below.
There are several different kinds of parasailing, but the boat-pull variety is by far the most exhilarating experience on earth! As the boat drives off, it pulls the rider into the air -- a definite must-do activity when visiting the Keys.
Is it safe?
Many people have trepidations about parasailing, fearing that they’ll fall if they let go, but it’s actually a very peaceful experience, allowing the participant to safely glide through the air at a steady, gradual pace. The harness keeps you securely strapped in, so you can let go, lean back, and enjoy the ride – and the view!
After the first time, you’ll undoubtedly want to keep coming back for more.
