You step off soft sand as a northeasterly breeze lifts the parachute above the surf; the speedboat slips past coconut-fringed hotels and into a belt of turquoise that seems to glow from below. Within minutes you’re clipped into a harness and the line tightens — the coast of Bávaro drops away and the shoreline arranges itself into hotels, reefs and ribboned beaches.

Arrive early for calmer winds
Book a morning slot when seas and onshore winds are usually lighter to improve visibility and a smoother launch.
Secure phones and cameras
Use a waterproof pouch or leave loose items on shore — dropped devices are rarely recoverable from water or reef.
Protect your skin
Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a hat for pre- and post-flight sun protection; the reflection off water intensifies UV exposure.
