Tour Category: | Parasailing |
Parasailing is the ideal excursion for those looking for a special sea-air activity.
Parasailing offers you a breathtaking bird's eye view of the beautiful lagoon and beaches of Mauritius, making it one of the best things to do during your vacation in Mauritius.
We invite you to enjoy parasailing in several different locations in Mauritius.
You can choose to experience parasailing in any of the following locations:
• Grand Baie (Mauritius North West)
• Belle Mare (Mauritius East Coast)
• Trou D’eau Douce / Ile aux Cerfs (Mauritius central East coast)
The parasailing begins with a short safety briefing. Then you will be taken by boat to the launch pod, where you will later take off and start parasailing.
Also optional to do a "touch and go", which means that on the way down, instead of just reeling back onto the boat, you will fly for a while above the ocean and then be lower down for a dip in the sea before going up again while enjoying a very refreshing plunge.
What is Parasailing? Parasailing, also known as parascending, is an activity where a person is towed behind a boat while attached to a specially designed parachute, known as a parasail. The boat then drives off, carrying the parascender into the air. If the boat is powerful enough, two or three people can parasail behind it at the same time.
