Soar Above the Emerald Coast: Why Parasailing with Pelican Adventures Is a Must-Do in Destin

If you’re looking to turn your Florida vacation into an unforgettable adventure, look no further than parasailing with Pelican Adventures in Destin! There’s nothing quite like the thrill of flying high above the Gulf of Mexico, with the wind in your hair, the sun on your face, and the sparkling waters stretching as far as the eye can see.

What Is Parasailing?

Parasailing is a safe, exhilarating experience where you’re securely harnessed to a parachute and gently lifted into the sky by a specially equipped boat. You’ll soar hundreds of feet above the water—giving you a bird’s-eye view of Destin’s stunning beaches, emerald waters, and maybe even a dolphin or two playing below.

Why Choose Pelican Adventures?

At Pelican Adventures, safety and fun go hand in hand. Our U.S. Coast Guard-certified captains and experienced crew ensure a smooth, safe ride every time. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned flyer, we tailor each trip to your comfort level.

  • Double and Triple Flights – Fly solo, with a friend, or with two others. Our parasail can accommodate up to three people at once, making it perfect for couples and families.

  • Photo Packages Available – Want to relive the thrill? Our crew offers professional photo packages so you can capture every smile, scream, and scenic moment.

  • Breathtaking Views – From your lofty perch, you’ll get a panoramic view of Crab Island, the Destin Harbor, and maybe even a sea turtle or stingray swimming below.

What to Expect

The experience starts with a short boat ride into the Gulf. You’ll then be gently lifted off the back of the boat and into the air—it’s peaceful, surprisingly quiet, and incredibly awe-inspiring. After 10–12 minutes in the sky, you’ll descend slowly back onto the boat (and yes, we can dip your toes in the water if you’re up for it!).

Tips for First-Time Parasailers

  • Wear comfortable clothes and a swimsuit.

  • Don’t forget sunscreen and sunglasses (with a strap!).
