5 stars!! Thank you Pacific Parasail for a wonderful activity on a sunny summer weekend! I got a birthday gift for my SO to go on a 2 people 1,000 ft high parasail trip in the Puget Sound (we did it in Tacoma, but they also have another branch in Kirkland as well) and we couldn't be happier with this gift choice! We were super lucky as the day we went it was super sunny, allowing us to see a super clear view of Mt. Rainier from up and above! :))))
Out from the get go, Pacific Parasail was super responsive to our inquiry and booking. They were very accommodating to our requested day/time (because we called to book before the summer, they even offered the option of coming in early on before the season was supposed to open, since they happened to open early this year, too). When the weather turned bad (e.g. not their fault!), they called well ahead of time that the weather wouldn't be conducive to the activity and offered to reschedule. On the day of the activity, we also received confirmation text on details about time/place to meet and what to wear, too. The staff (both on the boat and at check in) were super polite and nice (despite the fact that we used Groupon deal as well).
The trip itself takes about an hour. You get on a jet boat with 6-8 people and go out in the water for about an hour...then take turn to go on parasail for 10-15 min long...super awesome! As a bonus, our The gentlemen on our boat provided clear instruction on what we needed to know/do. We felt super safe (mind you, I have quite some fear of height)..and really enjoyed our unique activity --parasailing for the first time!
If you had a chance, definitely check this activity out. Great for a date (with someone you know quite a bit), activities with your family (kids are fine, too!) or just something adventurous/scenic to enjoy the nature/view of PNW! Also, book ahead of time! They seem to get busy, especially in the summer when the weather is nice out there! read more
