★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 120 reviews · from $179Our pick

Soar above New Zealand’s Bay of Islands on a safe, scenic parasailing trip with tandem flights, boat views, and Cape Brett in sight.

“We were wondering how an 82 and 79 year old could be accommodated but we had the great assistance of Ben and crew. The weather was perfect and it took all the rest of the day to relax the smiles on our faces. Of all the choices we had that sunny day we picked the best. There is not a negative word to be said. I recommend this adventure to all reading this account”

4.Wanaka Parasailing

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 4 reviews · from $93

Wanaka Parasailing promises Lake Wanaka views and single, tandem, or triple flights, but closure reports make current availability the key concern.

“The parasailing business was not active this season, however they sold us tickets. Wasted our plans for the day as we didn’t have time to book anything else.”
