Review of Vilamoura parasailing in the Algarve, with flight details, pricing, safety, family suitability, photos, and practical booking advice.

“Great experience. The guides were so helpful, informative and reassuring. A rocky sea on the way out added to the experience! Really calm in the sky and included a toe dip in the sea... amazing! What a shame the go pro video they provide you didn't work. Prepare for the expense of photos after (40€ for all, 5€/photo).”

Review of Madeira parasailing from Funchal, with practical advice on views, safety, timing, price, weather, and who should book.

“Didn’t do parasailing, offered us jet skiing instead. Which was ok, but they just left us in the middle of the ocean on a jet ski that we’ve never used before. Luckily nothing went wrong, but if something did go wrong there would’ve been no-one for us to call for help.”
