If you are already thinking about sharing this experience with your loved ones, you should know that in order to parasail on the Costa Blanca you must be over 8 years old and, in some cases, have a greater height than 1 meter.

Enjoying parasailing with friends on the beach is a unique experience, so this activity has a maximum capacity of 6 people per flight. This way you can share magical moments over the Mediterranean and capture them for life.
