Parasailing Adventure On Marine Try Fly – Sharm El Sheikh

Feel the bay open beneath you. This 30-minute parasailing ride gives you a quick, exciting view of Naama Bay from 40 to 50 meters above the water, with a speedboat, life jacket, and safety equipment included. I like the low price and the choice of flying alone or with another person. I also like that no previous parasailing experience is needed.

The main caution is the operation’s location information. The experience is described as taking place in Naama Bay, Sharm El Sheikh, but the supplied tour details also name Hurghada as the location. Confirm the exact meeting point before paying for a taxi. One serious booking problem has also been reported: a cancellation email arrived after the customer had already left the hotel, resulting in wasted taxi money and a long walk in the heat.

Key points before you book

• Ten minutes in the air: The actual flight is advertised at about 10 minutes, inside a roughly 30-minute activity.
• A 40 to 50-meter view: You rise high enough to see Naama Bay’s hotels, restaurants, and bazaars from above.
• Single or tandem flight: You can fly alone or share the parachute with one other person.
• No training required: The captain and crew handle the launch, towing, and landing process.
• Certified safety support: The crew is described as CPR and Advanced First Aid certified, with regularly inspected equipment.
• Low headline price, extra cash charge: The listed price is $12 per person, but a €5 national park fee is paid separately in cash.

What this Naama Bay flight actually offers

Parasailing is simple in theory. You sit or are secured in a harness attached to a parachute, and a speedboat pulls you out over the water. As the boat gains speed, the parachute lifts you into the air.

Here, the advertised height is 40 to 50 meters, about 164 feet at the upper end. That gives you a clear bird’s-eye view of Naama Bay rather than the closer-to-the-water sensation you get from many boat rides. You should expect the feeling of height, open air, and wind more than a fast, wild amusement-park ride.

The complete activity lasts about 30 minutes. The flight itself is listed as 10 minutes, so the rest of the time is used for getting fitted with equipment, receiving instructions, boarding the speedboat, and handling the launch and return. That distinction matters. If you are booking this as a major half-day outing, it will feel short. If you want a compact burst of excitement between beach time and dinner, the length works well.

You can fly by yourself or with one other person. A tandem flight can be a good choice if you want to share the first-time experience with a friend or family member. A solo flight may appeal to you if you prefer a quieter ride and a more open view around your harness.

Reading Naama Bay from 50 meters up

From the air, the advertised view includes hotels, restaurants, and bazaars around Naama Bay. That makes this more than a ride with a parachute. You get a quick visual map of the resort area, with the bay below and the built-up shore spread around it.

At ground level, Naama Bay can feel like a collection of separate streets, hotel fronts, dining spots, and shopping areas. From above, you can see how those pieces sit around the water. I like this kind of short aerial activity because it changes your sense of place without requiring a long sightseeing tour.

The setting also gives you a different view of the Red Sea coast. The tour description promises clear blue skies, but weather can always affect visibility and comfort. A calm, bright day should make the flight more enjoyable. Poor conditions could reduce the visual payoff, though no specific weather guarantee is provided.

Do not expect a long sightseeing commentary from the air. The crew’s job is to get you safely attached, towed, lifted, and returned to the boat. The attraction is the view and the sensation of being airborne, not a guided history lesson about Sharm El Sheikh.

A short ride, not a full boat excursion

The speedboat is included, but this should not be confused with a full day on the sea. You are using the boat as the launch platform for the parasail. The advertised flight time is only about 10 minutes, and the whole experience lasts about half an hour.

That makes the trip easy to fit into a packed holiday schedule. You can combine it with time in Naama Bay instead of giving up an entire morning or afternoon. The tradeoff is that you will not get a long cruise, a meal, or an extended swim from the information provided.

The maximum group size is 15 people. That is not a private outing, so you may share the general operation with other people. The actual flight is limited to one or two people at a time, which means the group may rotate through the activity.

If you are booking for a family or a larger group, ask how the rotation works before you arrive. The published information confirms the maximum group size but does not give a precise waiting time between flights. The group discount may help if several people in your party want to participate.

Safety equipment and the role of the crew

You do not need prior parasailing experience. That is important because the activity can look more complicated from the beach than it feels once the crew prepares you. The captain and staff handle the practical work, including the boat operation and the equipment setup.

A life jacket and all safety equipment are included. The crew is described as certified in CPR and Advanced First Aid, and the parasailing equipment is said to be inspected and certified regularly. Those details do not remove every risk from a water activity, but they are the right things to look for when choosing a parasailing operator.

Pay close attention to the crew’s instructions. You may not need formal training, but you still need to listen during fitting, boarding, takeoff, and landing. Wear clothing that allows you to move comfortably and expect wind at altitude. The supplied details do not specify a dress code or storage arrangements, so keep your personal belongings simple and ask where they can be left before boarding.

The description says most people can participate and that service animals are allowed. It does not list detailed medical, age, or weight rules. If you have a health concern or need a specific accommodation, contact the provider before booking rather than assuming the general participation statement covers your situation.

The $12 price and the extra €5 charge

At $12 per person, this is priced as an easy add-on rather than a major holiday expense. The package includes the parasailing flight, guide assistance, life jacket, speedboat, and safety equipment. You are not paying extra for the basic gear needed to take part.

The important catch is the separate national park charge of €5 per person, paid in cash. That makes the real cost higher than the headline price, and you should carry the required cash before setting out. The tour information does not say if other small charges apply, so keep the stated park fee separate from your main activity budget.

For a short flight, value depends on what you want. If you judge the experience by total time, $12 plus the park fee is not a full-day bargain because the actual flight lasts about 10 minutes. If you judge it as a quick aerial thrill with a memorable view, the price is appealing.

I would see it as good value for someone who already plans to spend time in Naama Bay. It is less compelling if you must travel a long distance by taxi just for this short activity, especially since private transportation is not included.

The meeting point needs careful checking

The stated start and end point is Naama Bay, Egypt, with the activity returning to the same meeting point. Private transportation is not included, so you are responsible for reaching the start area.

There is a confusing detail in the supplied information: the location is labeled Hurghada in one place, while the description repeatedly refers to Naama Bay and Sharm El Sheikh. These are not interchangeable resort areas. Treat this as a real booking concern, not a minor wording issue.

Before leaving your hotel, confirm the exact meeting point, the operating name, and the departure time with Delight Trips. Save the confirmation on your phone, and if possible, ask your hotel reception to help verify the location. This small step could prevent an unnecessary taxi ride.

The activity is generally booked about 20 days ahead on average. That suggests you should not assume you can always arrange it at the last minute, especially if your schedule is tight. At the same time, confirmation is promised at the time of booking, so check that the confirmation clearly identifies the correct city and meeting area.

The cancellation problem you should plan around

The cancellation terms are straightforward on paper. You can cancel up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the activity are not refunded, and changes inside that 24-hour window are not accepted.

The more practical issue is communication. One customer reported receiving a cancellation email after leaving the hotel, then arriving to find that the staff on site did not know about the booking. The result was wasted taxi money and a long walk in the midday heat.

That is a serious warning for a short activity. You do not want to spend more on transport than on the parasailing itself, then discover the departure has been called off. Check your email before leaving the hotel, keep your phone available, and confirm the trip on the day if the meeting instructions are unclear.

The operator’s response asked for the booking date, hotel name, and room number to investigate the case. That does not erase the inconvenience, but it does show that the provider requested specific details rather than ignoring the complaint. The overall rating is 3.8 from four reviews, a middling result based on a very small sample. I would treat it as a reason to verify the arrangements, not as proof that every departure will fail.

Who will enjoy this best

This activity suits you if you want a short, affordable thrill with a strong view. First-time parasailers should appreciate the lack of required experience and the crew-led setup. Couples, friends, and parents with eligible children may like the option to fly together, though the supplied information does not provide age rules.

It also suits people already staying near Naama Bay. The quick duration lets you add it between other plans without giving up a full day. The included boat and equipment mean you do not need to arrange separate marine transport.

You may want to skip it if you dislike heights, want a long cruise, or need a fully private outing. The group can include up to 15 people, and the actual flight is brief. You should also think twice if reaching the meeting point requires an expensive taxi, since transportation is not included and the location details need confirmation.

A practical plan for the day

Book with enough notice to protect your preferred time, then read the confirmation carefully. Look for the exact city, Naama Bay meeting point, start time, and instructions for contacting the provider.

Carry cash for the €5 national park charge. Keep your phone charged, save the confirmation offline, and check for any cancellation message before departing your hotel.

Allow more than 10 minutes for the entire activity. The flight is the star, but you will also need time for the life jacket, safety equipment, boat movement, and the other people in the group. If you have dinner reservations or another tour, leave a sensible gap.

Once at the meeting point, expect the crew to provide the equipment and assistance. Follow the instructions during setup and on the boat. The captain and crew manage the technical side, but a calm, attentive participant makes the process easier for everyone.

Should you book the Marine Try Fly parasailing trip?

I would book this if you are staying near Naama Bay, want a quick aerial view, and are comfortable checking the arrangements carefully. The combination of a 40 to 50-meter flight, included safety equipment, certified first-aid support, and a $12 base price is appealing.

I would not book it blindly from another Egyptian resort. First resolve the Hurghada versus Sharm El Sheikh location confusion, confirm the meeting point, and verify the departure on the day. If the provider gives you clear details, this can be a fun, compact addition to a Sharm El Sheikh holiday. If the answers remain vague, choose an activity with firmer transport and meeting arrangements.
