Float up to 500 feet above Grand Turk for a quiet, colorful canopy ride with sweeping views of reefs, cays, and the island’s sudden drop-off. This short, small-group parasail launch/landing from a purpose-built flight deck is designed for cruise passengers and first-timers.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto a low-slung boat at White Sands, the engine thumping against a rim of turquoise that suddenly feels enormous. The crew clips a harness, pulls the nylon canopy taut, and the boat teases forward—then you slip up, quiet and suspended, the island shrinking below like a watercolor.

History
Grand Turk’s economy was historically dominated by salt raking; Cockburn Town retains colonial-era buildings and a compact waterfront linked to seafaring traditions.
Conservation
The fringing reefs are ecologically sensitive—avoid touching coral, use reef-safe sunscreen, and follow crew guidance to minimize anchor and snorkel impacts.

Report exact weight at booking
Operators require passenger weights to determine rigging and safety—provide this when you book to avoid delays or denied boarding.
Protect against sun and spray
Apply reef-safe sunscreen before boarding and secure sunglasses with a strap; reflected sun and wind can be intense at altitude.
Take seasickness precautions
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take medication before the short boat ride—transfers can be choppy.
Plan around cruise timing
Allow buffer time for the return to your ship—disembark and reboarding windows can be tight if the boat or flight is delayed.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and the marine environment during sun-exposed time on deck and in the air.
Polarized sunglasses with strap
Cuts glare and secures eyewear during launch and landing.
Sea-sickness medication or wristbands
Helps prevent nausea on the boat transfer if you’re sensitive to motion.
Light windbreaker or long-sleeve layer
Useful for cooler breezes at altitude or on windy boat decks.
