Parasailing from Port Aransas offers a thrilling perspective of the Texas coast, lifting you 500-800 feet above the Gulf for panoramic views. The experience is surprisingly peaceful once aloft—you hear nothing but wind and can see for miles. Single, tandem, and triple flights accommodate groups. Takeoff and landing are from the boat, so you don't even need to get wet unless you want to.
