Absolutely terrible experience with Horizon Water Sport
Absolutely terrible experience with Horizon Water Sport in Sharm El Sheikh. I do NOT recommend this company! My boyfriend and I booked a 7-minute parasailing ride and paid $65. The biggest problem was that we were in the air for only about 2–3 minutes instead of the 7 minutes we paid for. The same thing happened to the other tourists. I will attach videos and photos below where you can clearly see the timing of the rides. But unfortunately, that was not the only problem. Before getting on the boat, I seriously injured my toe because the wooden entrance to the boat was broken and in very poor condition. My nail was damaged, I had an open wound and it was bleeding. The staff provided almost no first aid — they simply put two drops of iodine on my toe and sent me onto the boat. I asked if I could keep my flip-flops on because I had an open wound, but they refused and made me walk barefoot like everyone else. They clearly saw my injury. People were constantly walking close to me and bumping into my hand, so I had to protect my injured toe myself to prevent dirt or infection from getting into the open wound. After the ride, I calmly asked for 50% of our money back because we had not received the service we paid for. I was not even asking for a full refund. Instead of properly resolving the issue, the staff argued with me and offered to take me up again. They completely ignored the fact that I had an open wound, was in significant pain and needed proper medical attention, which they had not provided. I wanted to return to the hotel to properly treat my injury and simply did not want to go parasailing again. In the end, one of the employees simply threw $15 in our direction and told us to take the money and leave. I have never experienced such disrespectful and unprofessional treatment from a company. Poor safety, a service that did not match what was advertised, no proper assistance after an injury, and extremely disrespectful customer service. We also waited exactly 30 minutes for our taxi from the hotel to there because the taxi driver was late. I will never use Horizon Water Sport again and strongly recommend that other tourists think twice before booking with this company.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to write. We're sorry your day ended unhappily, and we understand an injury on holiday is upsetting no matter how minor. One important point for context: this booking did not come to us directly. It was made through a third-party tour guide who purchased the activity on your behalf and set both the price and the package you received. Our published parasailing rate — on our own website and on every partner platform we work with — is $35 per double flight for example, and sometimes lower, well below the $65 you were charged, and our flight durations are stated at the time of booking. We have no control over what an intermediary charges or which package they select. On the injury: your toe was seen by the doctor on site. The nail was broken but not detached, with no exposed tissue and no open wound. Iodine was applied and the doctor specifically advised leaving it uncovered — covering or wrapping an intact nail bed traps moisture and raises infection risk, which is the opposite of what people assume. That was a medical decision, not neglect. The barefoot rule on deck exists for grip on a wet surface, and with no open wound there was no reason to make an exception. We're sorry the experience didn't match what you were told you were buying, and we hope it doesn't colour your memory of Sharm El Sheikh.

Exhilarating
Wonderful experience in the sun. Assad was very welcoming and kind and the boat crew made it even more fun. I’m not sure we were all up there between eight to ten minutes as advertised but it wasn’t a massive deal.

Best parasailing
Highly recommend this excursion. We was a group of 15 and we were really well looked after. I was really scared but the staff on the boat made the experience really calm for me. I really enjoyed it.

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Parasailing in Sharm El Sheikh - Adventure over the Red Sea: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does Parasailing in Sharm El Sheikh - Adventure over the Red Sea cost?
+
Prices start at $8 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sharm el Sheikh 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 Sharm El Sheikh - Adventure over the Red Sea 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 Sharm el Sheikh is not rushed.
Is Parasailing in Sharm El Sheikh - Adventure over the Red Sea worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 96 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Parasailing in Sharm El Sheikh - Adventure over the Red Sea?
+
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 Sharm El Sheikh - Adventure over the Red Sea 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 Sharm El Sheikh - Adventure over the Red Sea?
+
Around 34 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 Sharm el Sheikh 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 Sharm el Sheikh and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Parasailing in Sharm El Sheikh - Adventure over the Red Sea 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 Sharm el Sheikh 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 Sharm el Sheikh?
+
On Outty we rank every Sharm el Sheikh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sharm El sheikh Safari ATV Quad with Camel Ride & hotel transfer, Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake, Sharm El-Sheikh: Ultimate ATV Quad, Stargazing & BBQ Dinner. 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 Sharm el Sheikh?
+
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 Sharm el Sheikh?
+
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.
