Parasailing · CANCUN PARASAILING TOURS
The lagoon side is calmer and cheaper, the hotel zone beach is the postcard. These 5 cover both, with jet ski combos priced against the plain flight.
Fly 260 feet above Cancun’s turquoise water for 10 to 12 minutes, with up to three people sharing one parasail. Staff handle takeoff and landing, and you’ll see the Hotel Zone, Nichupté Lagoon, and Isla Mujeres. The $60 price excludes a $20 dock fee, with hotel transfers available as an upgrade.
“Very good people and helpful the transportation being included was everything I really enjoyed making this part of my trip”
Start with hotel pickup, then head to Playa Tortugas for a Jet Ski ride and a parasail flight reaching up to 80 to 90 meters. The flight lasts about 10 to 12 minutes. You can ride solo or with a passenger, and staff such as guide Pinky have helped first-time riders feel at ease. Expect an extra dock fee and weather-based changes.
“Was a fantastic experience first time parasailing and with a bad ankle they made sure I had a great soft landing also saw so many marine life from above then the jetski was so much fun”
Meet Aquaworld in Cancun’s Hotel Zone 30 minutes early for a safety briefing, life jacket, and a 10 to 12 minute Skyrider flight. You sit on a secure bench-style platform rather than wearing a traditional hanging harness. Staff members, including captains such as Enrique, guide the boat and keep watch while you enjoy views over Nichupte Lagoon.
“Super fun! We were late by our own fault by 20 mins and they let us reschedule for the next day for no extra cost! (there was nothing open for the same day). We were also able to choose the time and they were so helpful. Very fun experience!”
Meet at Fiesta Americana Cancún Villas for a brief boat ride and a 10 to 15 minute parasailing flight up to 105 meters high. Choose an ocean or Nichupté Lagoon setting. A professional instructor, life jacket, and mobile ticket are included, but lagoon flights add a $20 pier tax and hotel transport is not provided.
“Made a reservation in the morning and my wife started having a panic attack. I booked it at 9:56am and sent and email an hour later to try to cancel; reservation was at 2pm. Contacted the company and I tried to get a refund but they wouldn’t without a medical note which I wasn’t about to go to a clinic or hospital in Mexico since I don’t speak the language. I didn’t get to experience it so that’s why it’s average. We watched a lot of parasailing in the actual ocean so I would have rather done that anyways. Never got a call to confirm if we were going or…”
Meet at Playa Tortugas for a two-part Cancun adventure: parasail up to 260 feet above the Caribbean, then ride a jet ski for 30 minutes. The tour runs about 90 minutes, serves groups of up to 10, and is offered in English. Bring extra cash for the $20 dock fee and refundable locker deposit.
“This experience was amazing! I did it with my 17-year-old brother and we had so much fun! Snorkeling was cool, it was our first time so we accidentally drank a lot of [very very salty] ocean water and got nauseous, but seeing the turtles, fishes, and underwater structures made it worth it. As for parasailing, it was my first time and I was slightly nervous but it went smoothly; there's truly nothing to worry about! It was such a fun experience: take-off, airtime, and landing went beautifully. I can't even explain how peaceful it was to float around in the sky. Jet skiing was also very fun! I definitely recommend…”
Pick the water, then the height.
