Tandem Parasailing Adventure in Lake Wakatipu Queenstown

About this activity

Experience Queenstown from up to 600 ft above Lake Wakatipu, with incredible panoramic views of the lake, mountains and town below.

Unlike many of Queenstown's high-adrenaline activities, parasailing offers a peaceful and scenic way to experience the destination from the air. Take-off and landing are completely dry, making it easy to fit into your day without needing swimwear or a change of clothes.

Fly solo, share the experience on a tandem flight, or take to the air as a group of three. Paraflights is ideal for couples, families, groups of friends, solo travelers and anyone looking for a memorable Queenstown experience without the intensity of bungy jumping or skydiving.

Itinerary

See Queenstown from a whole new perspective with a scenic parasailing flight high above Lake Wakatipu. Your experience begins on the Queenstown waterfront, where you'll meet the Paraflights crew and board the purpose-built parasailing boat. Cruise out onto Lake Wakatipu before taking off directly from the back of the boat — no swimming or getting wet required. Rise smoothly to heights of up to 600 ft above the lake and take in panoramic views across Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains, including The Remarkables. Enjoy approximately 10–12 minutes in the air before gently descending back onto the boat. Take-off and landing are completely dry, so you can enjoy an unforgettable view of Queenstown without needing to change clothes or spend the rest of your day wet. You are booking a tandem paraflight and one booking includes 2 people.
