Parasailing

Parasailing - Granted, I would not classify this particular activity as the most extreme of water sport options, but it is pretty darn cool.

Parasailing is a recreational activity in which a person is harnessed into a parachute that is flying behind a boat at anywhere from 500-800+ feet in the air. It might seem death-defying considering the height, but in actuality Parasailing tends to be a very relaxing and a beautiful experience.

Hilton Head is a particularly great location for parasailing as it is one of many barrier islands that protect the coastline of South Carolina and Georgia, and thus setting the scene for all so the unique and breathtaking sights the low country has to offer.

Do It Factor: Definitely DO IT! Perfect for people of all ages-Just ask the world record holder, a 92 year old grandmother who in July of 2008 parasailed with her 10 year old grandson for her 6th consecutive year. Added bonus, parasailing is in some instances handicapped accessible. Check out our ResortQuest Recommends Parasailing partner: Sky Pirate Parasailing
