Parasailing on Sydney Harbour is a unique way to experience the harbour and its surrounds. Better still, you don't need any experience. To embark on this unique experience from Manly Wharf, you will board the parasailing boat. While cruising out onto the water, each parasailor is briefed on how to get the most out of your experience and then it's time to kit up. Whilst you stand on the platform of the parasail boat, your winch operator will deploy the parasail and connect your harness. Now you’re ready to launch. From the platform you are gently winched into the skies above Sydney Harbour on a 150 metre towline. Your maximum height from the water will be 100 metres. All that is required of you is to relax and enjoy the view! For a little added excitement, you can choose to be dipped in the water. The choice to get wet or stay dry is all yours! At the completion of your 8-10 minute ride you will be winched onto the boat platform once again. This ‘cable/winch deck landing’ is the safest way to parasail. Solo and tandem parasail adventures are available. There is a maximum of 5 rides per hour meaning your time on the boat will vary from 30-60 minutes depending on how many people are flying.
