Launch from a speedboat and rise over Punta Cana’s turquoise coastline — a compact, high-adrenaline parasailing flight with hotel pickup and clear views of reefs, beaches and resorts. Morning departures are calmer; health and weight restrictions apply.

The speedboat slips away from the shoreline, the engine's thrum a steady pulse beneath the bright Caribbean sky. A colorful parasail unfurls like a giant flag and, within minutes, the sea and sand fall away: you climb, wind steadying and lifting, the coastline narrowing to a ribbon of white and green. From roughly 300 feet up, resorts, palm-dotted beaches and the reef-studded turquoise of Punta Cana stretch in clean planes beneath you.
