If flying through the air on a seat harnessed to a billowing colorful parachute pulled by a high-speed boat is a thrilling adventure, then soaring over the Indian Ocean with gorgeous views of Maldivian atolls below is definitely something that has to be done. However, parasailing anywhere is definitely not for the faint hearted. Novices are advised to get training prior to flights and everyone is advised to try the sport only with a trained crew who will guarantee that it is a safe and enjoyable experience.
Water sports are a big part of a vacation in the Maldives. It is what makes unforgettable memories particularly for adrenaline junkies. The combination of year round sunshine and calm seas makes it an ideal water sport destination and resorts try to outdo each other by introducing new and innovative ranges of motorized and non motorized water sports to keep their guests happy.
Soar up to 500 ft above the spectacular Maldivian islands, an experience parasailing enthusiasts are unlikely to forget. The rush of wind, the ocean spray on the skin, the odd feeling in the pit of the stomach as the parachute rises, feet dangling in the air and the silence at the top are all part of the experience. Parasailing is an undeniably fantastic option for those wishing to take to the air to view the turquoise water and white sand fringed green islands. Rides can be single, tandem or even triple and each flight lasts for a breathtaking 8 to 10 minutes at a maximum altitude of 500 ft.
The harness method used involves a dry take off and landing directly from a boat. There is an option for a water touchdown as well. Those who do not wish to parasail but just snap pictures of those who do are also welcome to ride in the boat. Parasailing is definitely one of the best ways to enjoy the beauty of the Maldives both from the water and from the air besides the unforgettable thrill of soaring through the air suspended between the clear blue water and the sky.
