Are you seeking an adventure-packed experience in Taupo? Look no further! Parasailing stands out as one of New Zealand's premier activities, and with Taupò Parasail, you're in for a thrilling journey.

Whether you're flying solo or with a couple of friends, as long as you weigh over 70 kgs, you're ready for takeoff. Feel the excitement build as you’re lifted off the back of our boat to soar gracefully through the air up to 1000ft above the lake. Truly magical!

Each flight lasts for a thrilling 12 minutes and offers the option of a 'freefall' descent for the adrenaline enthusiasts near the end of your flight where you’ll have the option to take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear lake waters during the Sky Dip experience. Gently ascend into the sky, trailing behind the boat, and take in the serenity of the skies. While you drift through the clouds, soak in the panoramic views of Lake Taupo and the beautiful waters below.

It's an adventure that promises both excitement and serenity, providing unforgettable memories of your visit to Taupo.

Hi, it was terrible moment when we had spent $70 on videos and photographs, they gave us empty card for photographs and videos. I was so excited to upload my videos and photographs on Facebook but they made my experience bad.

A peaceful ride

Loved every minute of this. From the land to the sky, the team were friendly and welcoming and the experience was magical drifting over Lake Taupo. It was a gloomy day but still beautiful. We’ll definitely do this again on a hot day and get fully dunked in the drink :)
