Mandatory 15% percent tip Before I even have the experience? We had 4 people parasailing and the tip was $67 before we even went….. Not doing that again…

Enjoyed but
My daughter talked us into this and it was amazing!!! Loved it!! Too bad the pictures I paid for didn’t turn out very good. Most were too dark to see our faces

Service and ride were great butt....
Was not happy with the $40+ gratuity I had to pay at the counter before we could ride. Gratuity should be a reward for a job well done. Not a standard extra fee on top of the service already paid for. After paying $300 for a 10 minute ride there should be no extra charges like that. I won't do it again because of this.

Fun but we paid for pictures
It was fun. I wish it would last longer. The guides were friendly. I’m upset though because I paid for pictures on site, but the watermarks haven’t been removed. They were supposed to have been removed within 24 hours, but it’s been over 4 days. I have no way to contact them.

Parasailing with granddaughters!
My two granddaughters and I went parasailing together. It was their first time. One was scared but I assured her it would be fun! They absolutely loved it. They also loved the banana boat ride. Can’t wait to come back again! The crew was so helpful getting my handicapped husband on the boat as a spectator. Great memories for all of us!

Not Worth It
Parasailing should be loaded from a dock. Not kids dragging you out to the boat on jet skis. Also, charging extra AFTER you pay for fuel and tip? I’m pretty sure that’s a violation of consumer protection laws. It is the “bait and switch”.

Parasailing
To be honest, the trip was so fast, I felt like my family went up in the air and came down so fast. My other issue was the mandatory 15% tip, so in addition to the money that I spent I had to spend another $55 . And the third thing was, I was not allowed to bring my camera so if we wanted pictures we had to purchase theirs, which were horrible. On the positive side, every employee there could not have been nicer.
