About this experience

Parasailing in Gili Air is a tandem parasailing activity that lifts you above the turquoise waters off the island's west coast. The boat launches from the beach near the main jetty, and the flight lasts approximately 10-15 minutes, reaching heights of up to 100 metres. You are harnessed to a parachute towed by a speedboat, with a safety briefing and life jacket provided before take-off.
