Activity Details
Parasailing from St. John with Parasail Virgin Islands lifts you gently into the air for a peaceful, scenic flight over Caribbean waters. The adventure begins with a quick safety briefing and gear check at the departure point in Cruz Bay. Once you’re all set, the boat heads out into open water and you’re slowly launched into the sky. Takeoff and landing are controlled and comfortable, so even first-timers usually feel relaxed.
From above, you’ll get sweeping views of St. John’s coastline, turquoise bays, and distant islands like St. Thomas and neighboring cays. On calm days the clarity is great, and the perspective from 350–400 feet up lets you take in more of the island than you’ll see from sea level.
Parasail Virgin Islands offers tandem or triple flights depending on your party size and weight — so it’s easy to share the experience with a friend or as a small group. Onboard you also have the option to purchase a photo or video package (using GoPro or similar), which captures the ride for you to keep.
Overall this is a great choice for families, couples, or small groups who want a memorable, easy way to see St. John from above. No special skills are needed. Just show up, enjoy the ride, and take in island views like never before.
