How to enjoy parasailing to the fullest
Here are some more tips for getting the most out of parasailing in Okinawa.
Please refer to the following in-depth explanations of everything from preparation in advance to how to have fun during the flight!
1. clothing: tips for comfortable and safe enjoyment
Parasailing is an activity at sea, so clothing that can get wet is essential.
Choose appropriate clothing for the season and weather.
- Summer: T-shirts and shorts are generally worn over a swimsuit. Since UV protection is inadequate if you wear only a bathing suit, be sure to wear a T-shirt over it. It is also recommended to wear a long-sleeved rash guard to protect against sunburn.
- Winter: Even in Okinawa, winters can get cold, so you will need to be prepared for the cold. A waterproof windbreaker or long-sleeved rash guard is a good idea. It is also comfortable to bring lightweight warm clothing to protect against cold winds.
2. what to bring: necessary items and preparation
To enjoy parasailing comfortably, we recommend that you bring the following items
- Towel: A towel is essential for wiping yourself after a flight or after being exposed to the sea breeze.
- Change of clothes: After activities at sea, you will want to change out of your wet clothes, so be prepared with a dry change of clothes.
- Sunscreen: The sun often feels stronger in the air. Apply sunscreen to your face, hands, and other exposed areas.
- Waterproof case: If you are bringing a smartphone or camera, a waterproof case is a good idea. You never know what might happen at sea, so protect your valuables well.
3. safety measures: points for safe enjoyment
To enjoy parasailing safely, please observe the following points.
- Choose a reliable tour company: Check reviews and reviews and choose a reliable tour company. It is important to make sure that there are solid safety controls in place.
- Take a safety course: Make sure you take a safety course before the tour starts so that you understand how to respond in case of an emergency. Following the instructions of the staff is the key to safety.
- Check for proper equipment: Make sure your parachute, harness, life jacket, and other equipment are properly fitted. If you are well equipped, you can enjoy your trip with peace of mind.
4. relax: prepare yourself to enjoy walking in the air
The greatest attraction of parasailing is the exhilaration of walking in the air.
Here are some tips for relaxing and having fun.
- Takeoffs and landings are worry-free: Parasailing takeoffs and landings take place on the deck of the boat, so you are generally not immersed in the water. With the assistance of our staff, you can relax and get ready.
- Enjoy the scenery: The view from the air is spectacular. In particular, the panoramic view of Okinawa’s beautiful ocean and sky is a unique privilege of parasailing. Concentrate on enjoying the scenery and free your mind.
- Photography: If you bring a smartphone or camera, place it in a waterproof case to capture the amazing scenery during the flight. However, please be safe and do not overdo it and follow the instructions of the staff.
5. additional enjoyment: an extra experience
To further enjoy parasailing, you may want to take advantage of other activities and special offers.
- Use a set plan: In addition to parasailing, choose a plan that includes snorkeling, jet skiing, and other activities for a full day of fun.
