★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,094 reviews · from $149Our pick

Pickup, drinks, fruit, snacks, and equipment are included.

“This was a scam. There was no parasailing. They never had any intension of parasailing. They said it was "too windy." I'm sure it's what they tell every group. It's a trap. Once you leave the resort, you are at their mercy.”

3.Parasailing, Snorkel Cruise & Virgen Beach from Punta Cana

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 545 reviews · from $159Top rated

Spend about four and a half hours above and around Punta Cana’s coast. You’ll parasail from Bávaro Beach, snorkel near a reef, swim in a natural ocean pool, and may see nurse sharks and stingrays. Guides such as Derly and Kitson are praised for keeping the boat lively. Transport, gear, snacks, fruit, and national drinks are included.

“Family of 5 with 3 older teens. We had a blast! Kitson and his crew were very fun. The parasailing was the best part. Sharks were cool to see up close, way larger than I thought. Stingray (singular) was unimpressive. Guy holds it and swims it over your hands and back. Wanna really swim with stingrays, go to the Cayman’s. Snorkeling was cool too, they feed the fish to swarm the area. We had an awesome dance party on the way back. Like some reviews it is a lot of waiting or standing on the boat not doing “activities” but it’s also about the atmosphere, which was very fun.”

5.Parasailing Yacht Experience in Punta Cana

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 85 reviews · from $65Best value

From Punta Cana, you’ll ride from the beach to a parasailing boat, receive a safety briefing, and fly above the Dominican coast for about 8 to 10 minutes. Hotel pickup is included, drinks are advertised onboard, and photos cost extra. Expect a small group of up to 12 people, with weather affecting the schedule.

“The bus was late and the ride was long. You are, as with any excursion, bombarded by sales people before and after the excursion. The people on the boats were nice and the actual parasailing part was fun. I would go through your resort for booking water excursions because there’s a company that does parasailing right behind our resort. I would prefer to walk out back and onto a boat. Also site was misleading as there was no safety brief and no drink. Bring water.”

The marine park allows close contact with the animals, but cameras are not permitted during that part.

“This excursion was a little oversold in my opinion. The snorkeling with sharks was unguided. You just get in the water under a pier and search for them. There were tiny crabs on the poles of the dock. The area for the sharks, stingray, and dRead more”

9.Parasailing Experience Over the Punta Cana Coast

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 33 reviews · from $74

Fly 500 feet above Bavaro Beach on a small-group parasailing trip with hotel transport, safety gear, and a photographer. Guides including Antonio, Thomas, and Henry are known for attentive help, though weather and boat timing can cause delays. Afterward, visit a Dominican goods store for coffee, rum, cigars, and crafts.

“Our parasailing activity was cancelled due to weather however the company compensated by allowing us to enjoy a Boat ride that included snorkeling, swimming with a stingray and shark, then off to enjoy a natural pool. The workers were awesome, I feel they made this such a fun, loving experience. I hope to enjoy another event in the future with this company.”
