Really different fun experience. You spend about 10 mins in the air but this is plenty of time. Make sure you ask what hand gestures you need to give the captain to indicate you want him to drop you in the ocean 😜
It is a shame that the activity description is misleading. It states 1 hour 30 minutes of boating; we were 3 groups, so 10 minutes per group, meaning 30 minutes of boating in the end instead of the 1 hour 30 minutes listed. Be very careful, it's a scam!!
Awesome experience with a great crew. Took my 5 and 8 year olds and they loved it and can’t wait to go again.
This activity was fantastic! We booked this trip via TripAdvisor and there was regular and clear communication. The check-in process is at the AlgarExperience area at the Marina where there are multiple activities on offer, not just Parasailing so do not look specifically for a Parasailing desk. The check-in process was quick and we were provided with "Boarding Passes". We then met the tour guides where we were provided with the gear and life jackets. We could leave our bags in a lock box just before we boarded the boat. There was 5 groups in total, including us, so we were roughly 1.5 hours out on the boat. The boat itself is an enjoyable experience and the hosts explained everything clearly, were very friendly and were jokers! The Parasailing itself is incredible and lasts approximately 10 minutes. It is a very smooth activity with an easy take off and there are incredible views from above. They bring you down to dip you into the water (roughly knee deep) and up again which makes it even more enjoyable. While you are Parasailing there are photos taken (we received 32) for an additional cost of €25. It is a must do activity! Thank you to the crew.
The activity was fantastic! The hosts Jérôme and Dyson were very attentive, gave good advice, and were jokers! Thanks to them for this moment!
The boat went on time, nice trip to the spot of the paraglide. Nice people on board, skilled. It's just a pity you got wet, although this was specifically requested in advance.
It was an excellent experience, the instructors explained to us well how it was going to unfold.
Very good guide, welcoming, funny and smiling. Even makes the effort to speak French. Great atmosphere on the boat with music.
An amazing experience with really friendly instructors, highly recommend to anybody visiting the Algarve, we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
This was a simple and easy process, and we had a great time! The instructors were experienced and made the trip special. Would do it again!
