“I was the last in our group to go up, and it was well worth the wait. We met near Breathless Hotel at the marina, the same spot as the Hip Hop Boat Party. After check-in and a quick dock fee, we boarded and were briefed on safety and ride details. Each person went up for about 10–15 minutes, maybe more. The skies were clear, and the waters calm, which made the flight smooth. They allowed us to bring our own drinks and music, adding a personal touch. The views from above—marina, coastlines, and distant resorts—were absolutely stunning. The onboard photographer offered pro photos. We used our phones too, but…”

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…”

“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…”
