What is Parascending?

Parascending is an aerial sport where participants are towed behind a vehicle (usually a car or a boat) while attached to a parachute. Unlike paragliding, parascending does not require jumping off high elevations, making it accessible and enjoyable for a wider range of people. It combines the thrill of flight with the safety of being controlled from the ground or water.

Do I Need Travel Insurance for Parascending?

Yes. Parascending can result in injuries from improper landings or sudden changes in weather conditions. If you’re traveling abroad for parascending experiences, travel insurance is crucial to cover medical expenses, lost equipment, and trip cancellations.
