Embark on an incredible parasailing experience, climbing to a tremendous height of 1300ft over the stunning Bay of Islands!
Hi there, Thank you for your review and rating. Ye,s it can take up to 1.5 hours on board the boat depending on how many people that is on the boat with you. We can take up to 12 people and 6 flights. Next time there might only be you guys on the boat. It fully depends on the day. It clearly states in the description that this might be the case. Some people want to be on the boat this length at it is quite a stunning scenic boat tour, while some prefer it to be a quicker turnaround. I am glad you highly enjoyed the experience though. Regards, Team Boi Parasail
We booked the 8am slot. It was freezing on the boat but was totally worth it. Make sure to wear warm clothes on colder days. We were there with 4 other groups and none of us got wet. My son decided to back out the last minute. Staff were amazing. The guy helping us wear life jacket and harness was so encouraging and lovely. The view was spectacular. Can highly recommend!
The overall experience was amazing but the only thing we felt boring at was they took around 6 groups on a ride and it tooks like 13-14 mins for each group and by that time others just have to sit and wait for their turn, which was a bit too much.

They didn’t get minimum numbers so cancelled the 5pm schedule. I had booked this as it fitted my Waitangi involvement schedule and my partner was visiting for the day.
Hi there, Sorry for the cancellation. Next time you come up to the Bay we will give you a free photo package. Cheers, Julia
