We went down to Hilton Head for the first time for a wedding, but decided to have some fun while we were there as well. We booked a parasailing trip - great price, great experience, and great service. The crew was very experienced, hardworking, and knew what they were doing. (Which was quite comforting as you are very high in... More

Our family of four, myself, husband, 12 year old and 15 year old had never parasailed before. We visited in April and this was an amazing experience!! I believe our guides were John & Jared, and they were very friendly and knowledgeable. They do offer a picture package but you are not pressured to purchase. We did not purchase the... More

We bought a 'Group On' trip and went in April, 2012. I wondered if they were gonna be hurried and just try to get through the trip because of how inexpensive it was, but they were totally wonderful! The 2 men that took us out explained everything about what to expect, they made us feel totally safe and were very... More

This was my boyfriend's and my first time parasailing and it definitely exceeded our expectations. It was super easy and despite that we're not fans of heights, not the least bit scary. It's so peaceful and quiet once you get up and you're floating above the world. We were both wishing we could have stayed in the air longer, but... More

I could not believe that I did not scream once because it was not scary! If you're hesitating because you're afraid of heights, drop that thought and get on with life's adventures. The staff is pleasant, knowledgable and encouraging. I did everything they said and it was, of course, like clockwork. We even "dipped"! This will become another "regular and... More

4 of us went parasailing for the first time. We were nervous until we read the reviews from other parasailors. The crew was very friendly and reassured those of us who were nervous. We enjoyed the parasailing but were disappointed that we didn't get to see any dolphins that were promised in the advertising.

We are so happy that this passenger had a pleasant parasailing experience. However, we DO NOT make any promises in our advertising in regards to seeing dolphins. We are fortunate that there are hundreds of dolphins here on Hilton Head Island, and we do mention the possibility of seeing dolphins. We actually see dolphins more often than not. First and... More

My thirteen-year-old daughter and I booked a flight with Palmetto Bay Parasail this past Easter break and the minute we were up in the air she asked me if we can do it again! The lift off and landing had me worried but the crew made sure we knew what to expect and it was gentle and effortless. We had... More
