Maximum weight per person: 330 lbs / 150 kg

Maximum weight under the parachute: 550 lbs / 245 kg (if the wind is favourable)

Children can fly on their own depending on the day's wind conditions and their weight: the instructor will contact you by telephone if necessary.

Following your booking request, you will receive a second e-mail asking where you would like to stay to organise the pick-up: please make sure you fill it in correctly so that the instructor can organise things as well as possible.

This activity is not recommended for pregnant people.

Parasailing flights can be done alone (book x1 ‘Solo’), by 2 (book x1 ‘Duo’) or by 3 (book x1 ‘Trio’).

The boat can only take on board customers who are taking a flight.

If you wish, you can purchase a GoPro video (attached to your harness) of your activity on site for an extra charge of 7,500 xpf (SD card + adapter).
