Parasailing

Soar above the turquoise lagoon and enjoy breathtaking aerial views of the Mauritian coastline. Parasailing in Mauritius is a popular activity offered from several beaches and boats—you're harnessed to a parachute and towed by a speedboat for a gentle, scenic flight. No experience is needed; you take off and land from the boat or a platform. The ride is surprisingly calm and offers a unique perspective over the lagoons, reefs, and shoreline. Many operators offer tandem flights so you can share the experience. It's one of the best ways to see the famous turquoise waters from above without the cost of a helicopter or seaplane.
