While we were on our family vacation in Boracay, one thrilling activity I really want to try is Parasailing. I took part in various activities that are considered as essential experiences, considered as must-dos, however, parasailing has truly piqued my interest, it seems to be something that really interests me. There’s no harm in giving it a try! I organized a booking that cost approximately 2,000 per person for a 15-minute ride. We opted for a tandem package which requires two people so, I rode with Gwayne. It’s a pretty budget-friendly and super easy to arrange. There were tons of operators and resorts that provides parasailing experiences. Riding together made it more fun as it eases my nerves and it’s uplifting to have a conversation while watching the white birds flying in the sky and seagulls down there.
Parasailing in Boracay is all about enjoying a quick ride, it was such a thrilling experience, you’ll get trapped into a parachute, you will be securely fastened into a harness that fits snugly around your thighs, a crew member will connect you to the parachute and pulled along by a speedboat giving you the chance to glide high above the water.
Usually, parasailing takes place over water, the speedboat has a launching platform at the back to get you up in the air. Parasailing gives you a quick thrill with just a 15-minute ride but don’t forget that it takes about 5-10 more minutes to land.The air was so dense that it made maneuvering the parachute back to the landing zone quite challenging and the crew needs some time to pull the rope back so we can get back to the platform safely.
While ascending my primary concern was the possibility of being towed by the speedboat via an attached rope. I felt a slight apprehension that what if the rope might break causing us to be thrown far away. However, I reassured myself with the knowledge that the rope was made of polypropylene, a material known for its durability and reliability.
The speedboat gradually lifted us higher at a rapid pace, and i must say, it was a remarkable sight up there observing the seagulls soaring along us was delightful and the breathtaking aerial view of the landscape along with fishes leaping from the water added to the excitement at the moment, it was such a thrill!
I wore these flexible, snug beach shoes which were permitted by the operator. This choice was made to safeguard my feet from the cold temperatures experienced at altitude.
As we ascend gradually, the parachute inflates, drawing us higher into the sky. My excitement is palpable, I am filled with excitement since this is my first experience with parasailing. I am immensely grateful for this opportunity. Thank you Lord for making this wish come true!
The best activity I’ve ever experience that involves flying, it’s the most remarkable activity.
We brought our own camera up there so, you can be assured that we captured aerial photographs during our flight. Gwayne held it securely to prevent it from slipping from his grasp as the speedboat gradually lifted us higher and higher. We’ll share more about that part later.
