Hurghada: Parasailing & Watersports with Hotel Pickup
Fly 30–40 metres above the Red Sea on a parasail towed by speedboat — solo or side by side, no experience needed. Banana-boat and tube rides plus free Hurghada hotel pickup included.
Overview
You came to Hurghada for the Red Sea — but there's one way to see it that most people never try. At the marina, a speedboat idles past the moored yachts and carries you out onto open water. The crew clips you into a harness, the wide parachute behind you fills with warm Gulf wind, and the tow line begins to feed out.
The deck slips away beneath your feet and the engine noise falls to a hush. Thirty, forty metres up, you're simply floating — the boat a small white shape below, the reef showing through the shallows in bands of turquoise and deep blue, the whole coastline unrolled to the horizon. There's nothing to steer and nothing to do but look. Go up solo for the quiet, or side by side with someone and watch each other grin.
What catches most people off guard isn't the height — it's how easy it is. You don't need to be an athlete, a strong swimmer, or fearless, and you don't need to have done anything like it before. You sit back, the crew does the work, and the sea does the rest. For a few minutes you're doing the thing you weren't quite sure you'd dare to, and it turns out to feel like calm, not nerves.
When the winch draws you gently back down, your feet find the deck but part of you stays up there. The captain and crew are CPR and Advanced First Aid certified and every piece of rigging is inspected and certified, so all you carry home is the memory of the morning you flew above the Red Sea — the story you'll tell before any other.
