Sound Parasailing: Music in the Sky

The star of this experience is sound parasailing, where you fly through the air while listening to music. A motorboat's engine pulls the parachute up like a kite, gently lifting you above the waters of Ginowan.

As the sound of the wind and engine fade away, music begins to play, and below you, the sea spreads out in gradients of blue. Since you launch straight from the boat, there's no need to run for takeoff—you simply sit back and feel yourself lifted into the sky.

Choose Your Rope Length: 60m, 120m, or 200m

You can choose your altitude by rope length, starting with the standard 60m course, with options to upgrade to 120m or 200m. The longer the rope, the higher your viewpoint, letting you take in the changing colors of the sea and the sweep of the coastline from farther away.

If you're new to this and a little nervous about heights, the 60m course is a great starting point; if you want to go all out, the 200m course gives you the ultimate high-altitude thrill. If you're going with others, choosing the same course rather than different ones makes it easier to share the experience together afterward.

Cameras Welcome, with Photo Service Plans Available

Depending on the plan, you may be able to bring your own camera, and some plans include a professional photo service. The view of Ginowan's sea from above makes for stunning photos, so if you want to capture the moment, a plan with photo service included is a great choice.

Which plans include camera access or photo service varies, so be sure to check the details when booking.

Snorkeling and Banana Boating Too

Beyond parasailing, you can also enjoy marine activities like snorkeling and banana boating. After taking in the view of the sea from above, you can dive right into exploring underwater, or ride the waves on a banana boat for some lively fun—layering different experiences into one visit.

Duration ranges from 1 to 2.5 hours depending on the plan you choose, making it flexible enough for a full half-day at the beach or a quick addition to your sightseeing itinerary.
