Parasailing was always on my 'to do' list & I am glad I was able to do in Big Island. Since we had out toddler son with us, myself & my husband cud not go together(which wud have been better), but still it was a nice experience to be above the water, feeling safe & enjoy the view. It was not scary at all - very smooth ride & really liked it. They charge you 30$ extra for pics, but I feel we cud have managed in our camera itslef if u have someone in the boat to take u ;-) Enjoy the fun !
