Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt · $26 per person · EN
Parasailing in Sharm El Sheikh was truly one of the best experiences ever! 🪂☀️🌊 Flying above the sea with this incredible view felt like freedom, excitement, and happiness all at the same time.
What is this tour like?
Horizon Water Sports sells the parasailing flight on its own, as a single item: $26 per person for the flight over the Red Sea. It is the shortest way to see the Sharm coastline from above without booking a full-day excursion — the boat tows the canopy, you go up on the winch, and the whole thing is over quickly enough to fit around a beach day. The operator holds 4.9 on Google from 167 reviews.
What you get for the price is the flight itself and nothing bundled around it: hotel transfer is not stated on the product, so plan on making your own way to the boat and confirm the pick-up point when you book. Horizon does not publish a duration for the flight, an age or weight limit, so ask about those directly — especially if you are flying with a child or in tandem. The team works in English.
