Parasailing

About

Imagine soaring 1,300 feet above the sparkling Sea of Cortez with the wind in your hair and Rocky Point’s beautiful coastline stretching out below you. Parasailing is one of the most thrilling and unforgettable adventures in Rocky Point — and it’s easier than you think!

You’ll be gently lifted into the sky by a colorful parachute pulled by a boat, giving you a bird’s-eye view of the beaches, turquoise waters, and even marine life below. It’s a high-adrenaline experience that feels surprisingly calm and peaceful once you’re up there. Most flights last 15–20 minutes and are perfect for anyone with an adventurous spirit.

Rocky Point’s uncrowded beaches and rich marine environment make it an ideal spot for parasailing. You’ll enjoy plenty of room to take off and land while soaking in the scenery from high above.
