PARASCENDING

The parasailing Tenerife is one of the most popular water sports on the island; the climate here is warm all year round, so it is possible to practice this activity in any season.

Basically it consists of a parachute connected by a long rope to a boat; as this moves forward you lift in the air reaching maximum 50 meters of height depending on weather conditions (have a look at the video below); flying over the ocean you can enjoy a fantastic view of the coast and the mountains including the peak of Mount Teide.

Departure place: Puerto Colón

Children less than 6 years old are not allowed to go on the parascending but they are allowed to be part of the experience as an observer and they must pay observer rate.
