If you’ve visited Virginia Beach before, you’ve likely seen (and wondered about) the colorful parachutes often seen floating above your favorite shoreline. But if you’re planning a Virginia Beach vacation, now’s the time to make the jump from spectator to “parasailor” — it’s the most exciting way we know to get a new perspective on our beautiful coastal city.
After heading out into open water and being clipped into your harness (solo, tandem or trio), you’ll be gently lifted by your wind-filled chute, up to 1,000 feet over the sparkling Atlantic. It’s an absolutely unforgettable bird’s-eye view, and you can choose whether you’d like to float naturally down to the surface for a quick toe-dip in the sea before being slowly reeled back into your boat.
