    Parasailing

    If you have any questions, please call them directly! I had been in contact with Viator after my travel plans changed and we needed to add a bystander. I was assured that would be fine and I would be able to pay when we got there for the extra person. Unfortunately when I arrived they did not have that information and my son who could not go as a bystander. Disappointing. However, the entire experience besides that was wonderful!

    Super fun event! It was beautiful

    It is such a fun experience! Let them dip your feet in the water coming back down. It was so wonderful to see the island and the ocean from the air. The crew took special care and keep us safe, it's our 2nd time!

    The experience was...

    The experience was amazing. The only reason I give it 3 starts is because it’s a 1 hr experience and there are about 6 pairs that go on the boat at a time. So technically you’re up in the air for less than 8 minutes. For the price I would expect a longer experience.

    Response from the operator: We are glad your experience was amazing and thank you for feed back. This information is stated in activity description. Thank you for joining us

    Parasailing in Catalina Island: Soar Above The Stunning Coastline: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Catalina Island.

    How much does Parasailing in Catalina Island: Soar Above The Stunning Coastline cost?

    +

    Prices start at $59 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Catalina Island usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Parasailing in Catalina Island: Soar Above The Stunning Coastline take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Catalina Island is not rushed.

    Is Parasailing in Catalina Island: Soar Above The Stunning Coastline worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 64 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Catalina Island, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Parasailing in Catalina Island: Soar Above The Stunning Coastline?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Parasailing in Catalina Island: Soar Above The Stunning Coastline suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Parasailing in Catalina Island: Soar Above The Stunning Coastline?

    +

    Around 22 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Catalina Island can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Catalina Island and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Parasailing in Catalina Island: Soar Above The Stunning Coastline start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Catalina Island within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Catalina Island?

    +

    Catalina Island packages ferry transfers with glass-bottom boats, submarine and snorkel tours in Lover's Cove, zip lining, Avalon golf-cart tours and inland bison safaris. On Outty we rank every Catalina Island experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Catalina Food Tour, Catalina Island Private Guided Golf Cart Tour of Avalon, Haunted Catalina Walking Ghost Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Catalina Island?

    +

    May to October, with the calmest crossings in summer. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Catalina Island?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
