Did this activity as part of our visit to the bay of islands and even though it was an overcast day the views from the top of the parasail were amazing!! There was only us doing it on the particular day we went but these guys made sure we still had a great time. We choose to book with them because of the other Trip Advisor reviews and were so glad we did. We would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to see the views from above and definitely do it with these guys you won't be disappointed.

The experience was absolutely awesome, the staff were super friendly and insured that we were comfortable and safe prior to departure.

Great weather, the view on the top was beautiful. We were given a camera to take photos on the top and photos were also taken from the boat.

It's also great to know that our parachute was a lot higher than the other parasailing company.

Good stuff and a must do when you visit the Bay of Island!!

Best activity around Paihia. Thanks Glen and ET. You both are awesome. Found out your parachute go 50m higher than flying kiwi parasailing and keep on air longer than them. Thank you very much for wonderful experience.

These guys were amazing- after we got bumped by the competitor company (flying kiwi) in favour of "more desirable clients"- these guys took us out and totally spoilt us! Turns out they were even better- 250m high and for longer too!!
Thank you so much guys for turning such a downer into the absolute highlight of my year!! Ten thumbs up!!

Thanks for your review and enjoyed having you guys out with us. Glad to hear it was an all thumbs up experience and hope to see you back another time. Next time, maybe bring a group and we could get you out for an outer island tour and parasail combo. They are becoming really popular and a great way to see more of the Bay.

I can't believe that we got to go so high above the Bays, this was a surreal experience to see all the islands and boats from that high! We had a blast!
