Parasailing is a water sport in which a person is towed behind a boat while attached to a parachute-like canopy. The parasail is suspended from a harness that is attached to the boat, and as the boat moves, the parasailer is lifted into the air and glides through the sky. Parasailing in the Straits Area, you can see views of the famous Mackinac Bridge, see Mackinac Island from a distance and a birds eye view of the beautiful Lake Huron. To participate in parasailing, you do not need any special skills or training. The activity is typically supervised by trained staff who will provide you with all the necessary equipment and instruction.

Just went parasailing in Mackinaw City - Amazing experience!

I took my girlfriend parasailing for her birthday, and it was such an incredible experience! We launched from Mackinaw City, and the views of the Mackinac Bridge were stunning. It felt like we were flying over Lake Huron. The staff at Mackinaw Parasailing were super chill and made us feel really safe. I'd definitely recommend it as a gift for anyone who loves adventure! Pricing was great too, considering the experience.

Thinking about gifting a parasailing experience - any tips?

I want to buy a parasailing package for my sister’s graduation. She’s never done it before, and I’m a bit worried about her being scared. What should I tell her? Also, how much time should we plan for the whole experience? Thanks!
