Parasailing Travel Insurance

What is Parasailing?

Parasailing is an exhilarating recreational activity where a person is towed behind a boat while attached to a specially designed parachute, known as a parasail wing. The harness attaches the pilot to the parasail, which is connected to the boat, and as the boat drives off, the participant is lifted into the air. It’s popular for scenic views and the thrill of flying.
