The boat slips away from the jetty, prop wash humming, and the parachute flares above like a color against an endless sky. Minutes later you're lifted: the sea falls away and the Red Sea opens beneath you—shallow reefs, ribbon-like sandbanks, and small islands stacking the horizon. The breeze tugs at the harness; the current of air carries you out and up, the shore shrinking to a thin line.

Check the weight limits

Protect your devices

Sun protection is non-negotiable
The reflection off the Red Sea intensifies UV exposure; apply reef-safe sunscreen and wear sunglasses and a hat during boat transfer.
Plan for seasickness and timing
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication ahead of time and book morning slots when conditions are usually calmer.
