Parasailing Adventure On Marine Try Fly – Sharm El Sheikh

★ 4.0 · 4 reviews From $12 Operated by Delight Trips · Bookable on Viator

The main attraction is simple: you rise 40 to 50 meters above Naama Bay, with the hotels, restaurants, and bazaars spread below you. The flight lasts about 10 minutes, while the full activity takes roughly 30 minutes. You need no previous experience. The captain and crew handle the launch, tow, and landing.

I like the low price, which makes this an easy add-on to an Egyptian holiday, and I like that you can fly alone or with one other person. The included speedboat, life jacket, safety equipment, and guide assistance also keep the planning simple. The main concern is logistical: the information gives Naama Bay in Sharm El Sheikh as the meeting point but also lists Hurghada as the location, so confirm the exact address before you set out.

Key points

  • Ten minutes of flight time: Enough for a memorable aerial view without turning the outing into a long half-day commitment.
  • A 40 to 50-meter ascent: You’ll see Naama Bay’s hotels, restaurants, and bazaars from a striking angle.
  • No experience required: The captain and crew manage the technical work, with a briefing before takeoff.
  • Single or tandem flights: You can choose to fly alone or share the parachute with one other person.
  • Safety equipment included: Life jackets, a speedboat, and inspected parasailing gear are supplied.
  • Low headline price, extra cash fee: The listed price is $12 per person, but a €5 national park fee is not included.

What the Naama Bay flight is really like

Parasailing Adventure On Marine Try Fly - Sharm El Sheikh - What the Naama Bay flight is really like

This is a short, straightforward parasailing outing rather than a full boat excursion. You meet at Naama Bay, receive assistance from the crew, board the speedboat, and prepare for your flight. The boat tows the parachute while you rise gradually behind it.

At the top, you’ll be suspended 40 to 50 meters above the water. That height is roughly 164 feet, high enough to give you a clear bird’s-eye view without requiring any technical skill from you. The advertised flight time is about 10 minutes. The rest of the 30-minute session covers preparation, boat movement, and returning to the meeting point.

The activity is designed for one or two people at a time. If you fly with a partner, you share the experience and the view. If you prefer to go alone, a single flight is available. The information does not say how single and tandem flights are assigned, so ask the crew when you arrive if you have a strong preference.

Seeing Naama Bay from 50 meters up

Parasailing Adventure On Marine Try Fly - Sharm El Sheikh - Seeing Naama Bay from 50 meters up

From the air, the appeal is the change in perspective. Down at street level, Naama Bay is a mix of hotels, restaurants, bazaars, and holiday traffic. From the parasail, those familiar places become a broad coastal view, with the bay and resort district laid out below you.

I especially like this for anyone who has already spent time on the beach or walking around the resort. You get a different view without committing to a long sightseeing trip. The flight is also short enough to fit around a pool day, an evening meal, or another planned activity.

The supplied information does not promise a particular landmark or route. You should therefore book this for the height and open view, not for a carefully guided tour of specific sights. The crew’s attention is on getting you safely into the air and back down, not on providing a detailed commentary about Naama Bay.

Getting ready on the speedboat

The experience includes the speedboat, guide assistance, life jacket, and safety equipment. That matters because you do not need to arrange a separate boat ride or bring specialist gear. The crew handles the equipment and the towing operation.

You can expect some preparation before takeoff. The activity states that no training is required, but that does not mean you simply step onto the boat and rise into the sky without instructions. The captain and crew will explain what you need to do and help you get ready.

The most useful thing you can bring is patience. The total time is only about 30 minutes, but the exact flight order may depend on whether you are flying alone or with another person, and on the size of the group. The maximum group size is 15 people. That is not a huge group, but it is large enough that your personal flight may not begin the moment you reach the meeting point.

Safety arrangements and what they mean for you

Parasailing Adventure On Marine Try Fly - Sharm El Sheikh - Safety arrangements and what they mean for you

Safety is presented as the main priority. The captain and crew are described as CPR and Advanced First Aid certified, and the parasailing equipment is regularly inspected and certified. Life jackets and other safety equipment are included.

Those are useful protections, particularly if you are trying parasailing for the first time. You do not need to know how to control the parachute, manage the towline, or handle the launch. The crew does that work.

Still, sensible preparation is part of your job. Follow the crew’s instructions, tell them about any concern before takeoff, and do not treat the activity as a casual ride with no physical requirements. The information says most people can participate, but it does not provide a detailed list of medical restrictions or age limits.

Service animals are allowed, according to the stated information. That is helpful for some visitors, although a service animal’s practical involvement during a speedboat and parasailing activity is not explained. Ask the provider before booking if that detail affects your plans.

Is $12 a good value?

Parasailing Adventure On Marine Try Fly - Sharm El Sheikh - Is $12 a good value?

At $12 per person, this is priced as an inexpensive burst of adventure. You receive a speedboat outing, equipment, guide assistance, and about 10 minutes of flight time. For someone who wants to try parasailing without paying for a longer water-sports package, that is appealing.

The low price needs a small adjustment in your budget. A national park fee of €5 per person is paid in cash and is not included. Private transportation is also excluded, so you must make your own way to the meeting point. The real cost is therefore the $12 activity price plus the cash fee and whatever transport you need.

I see the best value here for couples, friends, and families who want one memorable activity rather than a full day on the water. The flight itself is brief, but the height and view give it a clear purpose. If you expect a long cruise, repeated flights, or a detailed tour of the coast, this package may feel too limited.

Group discounts are available, which may improve the value for a larger party. The information does not state the discount amount, so check the final price before you commit.

The meeting point needs careful checking

Parasailing Adventure On Marine Try Fly - Sharm El Sheikh - The meeting point needs careful checking

The stated start and end point is Naama Bay, Egypt. The activity ends back at that same meeting point, which keeps the arrangement simple if you are already nearby.

There is one important inconsistency in the supplied details. The location field says Hurghada, while the title and meeting information point to Naama Bay in Sharm El Sheikh. These are different resort areas, so you should not assume that a generic map search will solve the problem.

Confirm the exact meeting address, operating area, and directions with Delight Trips before leaving your hotel. One reported booking problem involved a cancellation message arriving after the person had already left the hotel, followed by a costly taxi journey and a long walk in the midday heat. The provider asked for the booking date, hotel name, and room number to investigate that case.

That incident does not prove that the activity will be cancelled or mismanaged for you. It does show why you should check your messages before setting out, save the meeting details on your phone, and avoid paying for transport until the departure is confirmed. The mobile ticket is useful, but it does not remove the need to verify the location.

Timing, weather, and what to bring

Parasailing Adventure On Marine Try Fly - Sharm El Sheikh - Timing, weather, and what to bring

The stated duration is about 30 minutes, with 10 minutes of actual flight time. Plan for the whole half hour, not just the time in the air. If your day includes a meal reservation, transfer, or another timed activity, leave extra room around this slot.

The description refers to clear blue skies, but it does not provide a weather cancellation policy or say how the operator handles poor conditions. Check the status of the activity on the day, especially if wind or other weather might affect the boat ride and flight.

The supplied details do not list a required packing list. You should arrive ready for a water-based activity and keep your booking confirmation accessible on your phone. The national park fee must be paid in cash, so carry the €5 per person separately. You do not need to bring a life jacket or parasailing equipment because those are included.

No private transportation is provided. If you are not already near Naama Bay, arrange your own ride and confirm the meeting point first. This is especially important because of the Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh location mismatch.

Who will enjoy this most?

Parasailing Adventure On Marine Try Fly - Sharm El Sheikh - Who will enjoy this most?

This suits you if you want a short introduction to parasailing, a high view over Naama Bay, and a modest price. It is also a good fit if you are traveling with someone who wants to fly beside you, since tandem flights are available.

It can work well for a mixed group. One person may be keen to fly while another prefers to remain on the boat, although the information does not spell out whether nonparticipants can ride along. Ask before booking if that matters.

Families and first-time participants may appreciate the lack of required experience and the crew’s safety qualifications. Most people can participate, but the provider does not give enough detail here to confirm suitability for every medical condition or mobility need.

This is less suitable if you want a long, relaxed boat trip or a full sightseeing program. The short schedule is part of the value, but it also limits the amount of time you spend on the water.

Booking and cancellation advice

Parasailing Adventure On Marine Try Fly - Sharm El Sheikh - Booking and cancellation advice

Confirmation is provided at the time of booking, and the activity accepts mobile tickets. Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time. If you cancel less than 24 hours before the start, you will not receive a refund, and changes inside that period are not accepted.

I would book only after checking the meeting point and the exact operating location. Because the price is low, you may be tempted to book quickly and sort out the details later. Do the opposite here. Confirm the address, keep an eye on messages, and remember the €5 cash fee.

The overall rating supplied for the experience is 3.8 from four reviews. That is a small sample, so I would not treat it as a firm measure of day-to-day performance. The strongest practical lesson is not about the flight itself, but about communication and transport planning.

Should you book this parasailing experience?

Book it if you are staying near Naama Bay and want a short, inexpensive thrill with a real view of the resort from above. The 40 to 50-meter ascent, 10-minute flight, included gear, and certified crew make the package easy to understand and appealing for first-timers.

Pause before booking if you are staying in Hurghada, need hotel transport, or have a tightly timed day. First confirm that the activity is actually operating in your area. Once the location is clear, add the €5 cash fee, arrange your own transport, and verify the departure shortly before you leave.

My advice is a qualified yes. The activity itself offers good value for a brief taste of parasailing. The booking and meeting-point details deserve more care than the low price might suggest.
