Itinerary
We can arrange a comfortable transfer from your hotel to Nungwi or Kendwa at an additional cost, depending on your location.
Meet your friendly parasailing team at the beach. After a warm welcome, you’ll receive a full safety orientation covering the gear, harness, and takeoff/landing procedure.
You’ll be fitted with a life jacket and harness, and then board a speedboat that will take you to the flight zone in the open ocean.
As the boat speeds up, you’ll slowly rise into the sky — feel the gentle lift as you soar 300 meters above the Indian Ocean. Enjoy the serene silence, the stunning views of Zanzibar’s reefs, and the surreal feeling of floating in the air.
Flights typically last 10–15 minutes, depending on wind conditions. You can choose to fly solo or share the moment with a partner in a tandem flight.
Gently descend back to the boat — smooth and safe. After landing, relax and enjoy a refreshing drink while sharing stories with your crew.
If you booked hotel transfers, our driver will take you back to your accommodation in comfort.

Posted on Jess RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great few days with Nassor around Zanzibar. Even though we were a large group of adults the car was very comfortable & spacious, with seatbelts for everyone. Nassor was very knowledgeable & informative, and took us safely to some very out of the way locations (Bwejuu mangrove kayaking, Mangapawni beach) without being a bit fased. Very glad we had him navigating the crazy traffic for us!!Posted on Michel BuchnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nassor (Ronaldo) is a great laid back personality telling you all kinds of nice information about the area, the people and its customs.
