Parasailing · CANCUN PARASAILING TOURS
The lagoon side is calmer and cheaper, the hotel zone beach is the postcard. These 15 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.

“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…”
At Playa Tortugas, combine parasailing up to 260 feet above Cancun Bay with a 30-minute Jet Ski ride. Most major hotels may offer pickup, and bottled water is included. Confirm the exact schedule before booking, since the supplied details also describe a snorkeling version of this excursion.
“The whole trip felt extremely rushed. Couldn't stop to enjoy the sculptures or the sunken ship. Even time I dived down and came back up, I would hear the tour guide yelling "Keep up!" "Go RIGHT, go LEFT!!" "Catch up!" "Stay with the group" it felt like he was herding cattle. Common. It's snorkeling. You gotta stop and smell the corals and really emerse yourself. Also be known, that this should be labeled as a begginers snorkeling trip, the poor tour guide literally had to teach people how to put on their flippers. Also paid for pictures and videos and haven't received them yet. Best part was the jetskis, those…”

“Worth the money! People we’re awesome and friendly. We started off with snorkeling that took approximately 1+hrs and visited 4 snorkeling locations, afterwards parasailing took about 15-20 mins with a magnificent view of cancun, and finally we jet skied for 30 mins! Jet sky is pretty challenging because you need to have balance otherwise you fall but your guide is there to help and is fun! Pics and vids are not included but for snorkeling and parasailing i think its worth the money $100 usd. Your allowed to bring your own camera gear under your own responsibility. In conclusion, 3 hour adventure and highly would recommend it.”

“When we booked we were told lockers were included yet on arrival told not to worry just to put them on boat. When we got on bus we realised my daughter’s brand new iPhone had gone missing. They said they searched boat but was not sure here. When we got to hotel we could see the location of phone going out to sea then back to dock. We rang them and told them this only to be told phone was not there. We tracked the phone 4 times moving out to sea and back and each time was told it was not on boat. It was only when we threatened…”
Pick the water, then the height.
