While the Maldives offers plenty to see from ground level, nothing beats getting a bird’s eye view of this Indian Ocean destination; if you haven’t tried parasailing before, then here’s what’s on offer.
The Basics
In parasailing, you are securely attached to a parachute-like canopy at the back while being connected on the other end to a speedboat; once this vessel reaches the right speed, you will soar above the seascape! To ensure you don’t miss out, when checking for water sports packages Maldives has to offer, make sure your resort provides parasailing.
The Options
While you may think this is only a solo water sport that is not the case; some resorts such as Adaaran Prestige Water Villas give you the chance to try it with another individual as well as enjoy a private two-person parasailing experience at sunset; talk about taking romance to new heights!
The Experience
The experience of parasailing in Maldives has to be enjoyed first-hand to be truly appreciated. Imagine being pulled along on an adrenaline-pumping ride as you watch the coastal scenery unfold below; azure ocean waters, pristine beaches, turquoise lagoons, enchanting atolls, stunning sunsets and more.
The Best Time
Generally, the best time for such water sports in Maldives is from November to April which is the peak season when the weather is at its brilliant best. From May to October, the monsoons bring with it rains though not all the time and you can check on the day if there’s a possibility of trying parasailing.
