Up, up and away! So peaceful and quiet up there

Niecie L.

Great spot for parasailing! Parking is pretty easy to find. There are a couple restaurants to hang out by while you wait or to hit after parasailing. Gorgeous views of the coastline, Catalina and the ocean. Our crew of 2 guys on the boat were great. Quite young, which is typical, but responsible and skilled at operating the boat and the whole rig.

It's was my first experience, drove almost 2 hrs with traffic but totally worth it. I was scared but so excited and when i met the guy forgot to ask his name the one who checked us in and helped us through everything was so knowledgeable, experienced and friendly and when he explained there's nothing to be afraid of i was totally relaxed and ready. It was really fun and exciting and i will definitely go again!

fun, beautiful, and definitely worth doing! Don't put this off! The gentleman that we're running those were helpful, fun, and kind.

Chris O.

Really fun experience. The boat ride was almost as much fun as the parasailing. Take off and landing from the boat were very easy. Parking can be an issue so allow plenty of time to find a spot.

One of the top excursions I have ever done! I'm a wimp when it comes to heights but these guys make it so simple. Finding the location wasn't hard as they are in front of Turks. You sign your waiver, take a quick boat ride, put on your gear and you're off for amazing views! If you want some pictures and videos they offer a $40 set, however, we had some nice people on the boat to take pictures of us. I brought one of those waterproof lanyards that I took with me up in the sky and it was fine. Everything else was left on the boat and was stowed in the compartments underneath your seats. Initially I was hesitant to go, however, the actual parasailing was smoother than the boat ride. The views are astonishing and so worth it! Never got to see the ocean from that angle either. It was a 10/10 experience and I would highly suggest if you are looking for an activity in Dana Point.

easy to find check in, just like their directions

I have wanted to parasail for years now, and this is my third attempt, and FINALLY successful! Yay! Maybe the stars are aligning :) I initially called Dana Point Parasail just to inquire about their availability. Chris, I believe their owner, answered the call and he was so informative and helpful, I just felt so reassured that I booked it... before clearing it with the person I wanted to go with. Oops. Oh well, he said yes after so it all worked out. I also want to commend that I accidentally called after hours, and I didn't realize it until afterwards, so I appreciate that Chris was so nice and took the time to help me off hours. Dana Point Parasail sent me an email confirmation with very thorough details and hyperlinks to help us prepare and be able to find them on the day of the adventure. We were able to easily find them at Dock 2, per their thorough directions. We initially booked their 2-3pm so that we wouldn't have to rush our morning plans. It turned out we were running a bit early. Around 12:40pm we walked over just to inquire if they had room for us to go on their 1-2pm trip instead. Julia was at the check-in table while the others finished with the previous group. Julia was super friendly and positive. Love her vibes. She was like of course! At this time you are able to pay for your trip or apply it to the card you had on file for the reservation. Just as a common sense pro tip, use the restroom before you get on the boat. If you think about it, you might be off land for an hour, so it's best to empty out... just in case! My date and I hung out at a nearby bench as the crew offboarded their 12-1pm group. Everyone looked so happy and excited coming off their trip. Great foreshadowing of the good times to come. Luck continues to be on our side because we ended up being THE ONLY GROUP for the 1-2pm time slot. Private parasailing adventure. Yayyyyy! Justin was our Captain for the outing and Koby helped with set up and photography. Yes I said it, PHOTOS!! You can add on a photo package to capture your memories, without endangering your own devices. And here's some more common sense, but I recommend removing anything that is precious and leaving it on their boat. I took off my flip flops and left my phone in my purse. My date left his keys, phone, wallet and everything in my purse too. He was really stuck with me for the day. As Justin drove us out to an area without other boats and things, Koby got us into our harnesses and life jackets. He was very professional and efficient. Then when we got to a good spot in the water, they got us hooked up onto the parasail. Great directions and cues to help us safely enjoy our experience. Just sit back and enjoy. The parasailing experience is really peaceful. My date has been parasailing prior in Hawaii and actually mentioned this one goes up higher, at 800 feet. The views were stunning. But most importantly, THE PHOTOS, Koby took a great amount of photos. He got some in right before take off, as we took off, and some right before coming back down. Koby is the BEST WING MAN EVER cause he was cueing us for poses on the way back. He told my date to kiss me, and I was thinking ohh gosh *blushies* ahha... That kissie pic was harder to achieve than it looks. Multiple attempts made and at the time just hoping one of them looks good on camera. The WOW effect continues as we get back on the boat. The crew tells us we can have the photos within 15 minutes of leaving. Anything within 24 hours would be most appreciated but 15 minutes is AMAZING!! Within under 10 minutes I received a link to my cell phone and my email with 75 photos! Obviously they captured as many moments as possible for us to choose our favorites as needed. The crew is so thoughtful and professional to guarantee you a great experience. Please remember to tip! Thank you so much to the Dana Point Parasail team for making this outing absolutely incredible and well documented. Truly PRICELESS. We had such a great time. I will definitely refer any friends, family, colleagues, visitors, acquaintances here for any parasailing needs. And of course, when I would like to parasail again :) Until next time!

I just went parasailing here today !! it was so much fun we had the option to dip our feet which we asked to be dipped ! i would 100% recommend and would definitely do again! My group was amazing everyone was so sweet one of the ladies paid for us to get our personal pictures taken i was so thankful she was really sweet! come here ! (:

Such a fantastic time on the water (and in the air) today! Chris and crew provide a fantastic experience parasailing over Dana Point. We already want to go back and take more friends. Such an experience!

Awesome time on the water beautiful day even more beautiful being suspended above the blue ocean even saw a pod of whales while up there! The crew was more than professional felt very comfortable would love to do it again!

Birthday Magic in the Sky Apr 2026 Birthday Magic in the Sky We celebrated my daughter's birthday with parasailing in Newport Beach, and it turned into one of those rare days you know you'll remember forever. I'm terrified of heights, but our captain was so kind and reassuring that I actually felt excited instead of scared. The moment we lifted off, everything changed. It was quiet, peaceful, and unbelievably beautiful--like floating above the world. The boat ride itself was fun, the people were great, and the whole experience felt effortless from start to finish. We even got a fun dip before touching down softly on the deck. If I could have stayed in the air for an hour, I would have. This adventure was perfect in every way. Get the photo package. Totally worth it! Highly, highly recommend. read more

I must say Capri was amazing in helping us get all of our paperwork in order so friendly and helpful. And KOBE was an outstanding captain and took great care in making sure that everything was safe and professionally done. We had such a fun time. I would highly recommend this experience.

We had the absolute best time last weekend. This was my second time parasailing with here and it did not disappoint. The two guys were so kind and likable which made the experience even better. We went with a group of three other couples who we are living their best life. We liked that there were several other groups because it meant more time on the water. The boat ride is just as much fun as the actual parasailing. We even were lucky enough to spot a few dolphins both while up in the air as well as from sitting on the boat. This is a ten out of ten experience I would recommend it to anyone, especially those afraid of heights and water - it's so worth it! read more

A very easy and enjoyable experience. We lucked out because upon our arrival the sun came out to join us as well! The captain and staff were super nice and calm. They made the ride really enjoyable. We redeemed a deal we had found on Groupon and spent about 10 minutes up in the air above the beautiful ocean. There are wonderful views to admire 800 feet above water. I'd say the entire trip on the boat was about 45 minutes. There was another party as well. You can fly solo, as a duo, or with a group of three. Photo add on package was $30.00 but you're allowed to take your phone up there (at your own risk). Would recommend for easy going thrill seekers! read more

Cannot say enough about how cool it was to view the wildlife through the underwater viewing pods. It was an unbelievable experience to come nose to nose with wild bottlenose dolphins.

I also brought along my rambunctious 2 1/2 year old son, and felt totally safe on the boat, which felt very secure for kids. On our cruise we saw dolphins, a fin whale, a sun fish, sealions, and common dolphins. A great day. Special thanks to Matt and Amanda for all their fun facts and knowledge sharing!

Review is for their sailing camp!…read more This was our second year attending Westwind Sailing, and once again, it exceeded our expectations! My boys absolutely love this camp -- the sailing, the teamwork, the fun -- it's all top notch. This year, we ran into an unexpected situation where one of my sons wasn't able to attend, even though we had signed up well in advance. Based on the camp's policy, Westwind could have easily told us there was nothing they could do -- but they did the opposite. They were quick to respond, incredibly understanding, and went out of their way to accommodate us. In a world where customer service can be hit-or-miss, their compassion and professionalism really stood out. Another lovely moment: during the "practice capsizing" day, my elderly parents came to watch. Without us asking, the amazing staff brought out chairs for them so they could sit and enjoy the event comfortably. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare and speaks volumes about the team behind this camp. We're so grateful for everything Westwind Sailing offers -- from the wonderful instruction to the truly kind and caring staff. Highly recommend this camp to anyone considering it!

For Jori, this is so much more than a business! She made each of us on the boat feel so connected to this incredible experience and carefully attended to every need.

Can't say enough about what a great enjoyable time my kids and I had with Dana Point Parasail. Booking was way in an easy. I called and Christopher helped me to book with some simple information. No payment was due until check in on the day of which is always nice. I received a detailed confirmation email stating all procedures, location and check in info. It was great. Parking is minutes in the area but it is free which is nice. Once parked it was a short walk to the dock where we where checked in and ready to board the boat. The crew was friendly and engaging. Played good music and kept the excitement alive. We were quickly and safety harnessed up and given life jackets (required for the flight but not the boat ride. The captain crew inflated the parachute, which was an all moment and itself. They then guided my children nine to the back of the boat, or we were seated and clipped into the parachute. Quickly, and with ease, we were lift it into the area where we enjoy the site of the ocean below us. it's winter, so it was called but we bundled up and wear shoes and asked not to be dipped in the water which they said was totally fine. The view is spectacular. I was a little scared taking my children but honestly, it was amazing and while accelerating also serene at the same time. We felt as we started to be reeled back in still taking in the beautiful sites as we did. We landed right back in the boat standing. It was so easy. We enjoyed the bust ride as others parasailed as well. Be prepared that they move at a high speed and holding on is a must. I highly recommend this establishment for all ages. Don't think. Just do it. read more

My friends and I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an unforgettable parasailing adventure on August 20th, and I have to give a huge shoutout to Sky, Ethan, and Kobe for making it truly spectacular! You all helped make my friend's 60th birthday truly memorable! From the moment we arrived, Sky greeted us with a warm and friendly demeanor, setting the stage for an incredible day. Their enthusiasm and professionalism were comforting. They took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all our questions with a genuine smile. Our safety was a top priority, which was greatly appreciated. Kobe, the captain of the boat, was exceptional. It was clear that he was passionate about his job, and that passion translated into an amazing adventure for us. Parasailing with this team was nothing short of exhilarating. The views were breathtaking, the ride was thrilling, and the whole experience felt seamless thanks to their expert coordination. Sky, Ethan, and Kobe made sure every moment was perfect, and their friendly, professional approach made us feel like we were in the best hands. If you're looking for a top-notch parasailing experience, look no further. This team is outstanding, and their dedication to providing a memorable adventure is second to none. read more
