Latest Questions about Parasailing - Tandem Paraflight (Queenstown)
Is there a weight limit for the tandems?
Comments
Hello,
Where is says "Children under 12 will need to fly with an adult and must weigh a minimum of 18kg". Can we assume the the minimum weight of 18kg includes clothing?
Comments
thank you for your question about the Parasailing in Queenstown. Children can fly tandem or triple with an adult once they weigh over 20kgs including what they are wearing on the day.
If my partner and daughter are flying can I be on boat ?
Comments
Yes, we can book you in as a Spectator to join your partner and daughter on the Parasailing boat. The cost for a Spectator is $29 NZD.
Hi there, what is included in the photo pack? As well, are we allowed to bring our own camera while doing the parasailing?
Comments
You can purchase a photo package on the day. The photo pack would be emailed to you with about 20+ photos, taken every minute you are harnessed in and flying. You are welcome to bring your own camera but this is at your own risk.

Hey Paul, The max weight for any parasailing flight (tandem/triple etc) is 200kg.
Hi there, I'm looking to book the parasailing early bird option for three adults but our weight will probably be over 200kg combined. Should i book one tandem and a solo or should I book the triple and we will be reorganised by the person there?
Comments
Heya, If the three of you will be over the weight limit you will need to book a solo and a tandem.

How long are u up in the air for?
Comments
Each parasailing flight in Queenstown lasts for around 10 minutes. The boat ride will last about 55 minutes as you head away with a group of people who all parasail so the rest of the time on the boat you can sit back and relax and enjoy the views of the lake, mountains and Queenstown.

Hi Could you tell me what i should wear while parasailing in the winter time? Thanks
Comments
Hi Li. The weather is usually great for parasailing in Queenstown in winter with often clear blue skies and little wind. It is cold though so when doing any of the outside activities just make sure you wear lots of layers as well as woolen gloves and beanie etc.
Hi,
Just wanted to ask if you guys offer this early bird special every month? Because a friend and I are visiting queenstown in February.
Regards Mohamed
Comments
Hi Mohamed. Yes, the early bird parasailing special in Queenstown is currently available all year. If you would like to book for February you can do so via our website at the special price and we will email your e ticket with your booking confirmation straight back.
hi there ! How long is the early bird tandem deal on for? I am very interested but just need a little time to plan
Comments
Hi Chess. The Parasailing early bird tandem special in Queenstown is an ongoing deal and has no finish date at this stage. It will run at least until the end up summer this year and I imagine it will continue on into the rest of 2014.
For 3 adults (combined weight under 200kgs) is it possible for a triple?
Comments
Hi Amy. Yes, weather and wind conditions permitting you can book 3 adults as a triple on the parasailing in Queenstown but its quite tight up there in the triple harness which is why generally there needs to be at least 1 small child as part of the three otherwise its just too tight in the harness, irrespective of the total weight being under 200kgs. You are welcome to book however on the day if the instructors say that it is going to be too tight a squeeze then they may request that one of you flies solo and the other two fly tandem.
Can we have a triple for adults also? (3 adults parasailing together)
Comments
Hi Amy, unfortunately there is no triple option for 3 adults. You could fly with 2 adults and a smaller child however the maximum weight for the flight is 200kg so generally a triple adult flight cannot be done.
Can you bring a camera up in the air with you?? :)
Comments
Hi Jessica, you could take a camera up in the air with you if you wanted for your Paraflight however it is not recommended in case you drop it. Photos of your experience are captured by the Parasailing crew and you can purchase these for $39 or if you book the 10am flight you receive a free photo pack.
Can I have this voucher sent to a different name as I don't want my son to receive it before Xmas
Comments
Hi Evanna, when you make the booking for the Parasailing Gift Voucher the voucher will be emailed to you (enter your email address) so you can give it to him on Christmas day or whenever you want to.
Hi there, will it be cancelled due to bad weather? If yes can I change to another time? Cheers!
Comments

Hi there, I noticed the special offer for the 10am departure to receive hot choc and a photo pack! Just wondering how much this will cost per person? Thankyou :)
Comments
Hi Sarah. The photo pack and hot chocolate/coffee is free if you book the 10am parasailing flight in Queenstown. The cost for the flight is $109 per adult (tandem) or $139 per adult if you fly solo.
My family group have 2 adults and 2 children, so we should fly 2 times (1adult +1child for each time) , right ? And how about the total cost and how about the duration for joining this activity?
Comments
Hi Joe. Yes you will need to book 2 tandem Queenstown parasailing flights. You can book 2 adults tandem ($109 each) and 2 children tandem ($79 each) so the total is $376. You can then choose to fly 1 adult + 1 child each time when you are on board the boat. The total trip time will be 1 hour and each flight lasts for about 10 minutes so each person will get 10 minutes in the air.
what age do we have to be?
Comments
Hi June, there are no age restrictions with Paraflights. As long as you fit one of their harnesses then they are able to fly you. They have taken someone as young as 2 before.
Hi there, so at the moment what are the current specials for an adult? I'm looking at booking in for myself and boyfriend for early july when we go down on holiday. If there are specails on, until how long will they be running ? Thank you!
Comments
Hi Claire, when you book in July the Winter special will be running which means if you book the 12pm flight you will also receive a free coffee and t-shirt (valued at $30). The cost of the parasailing flight will be $139.
What is the maximum age to qualify for a child ticket?
Comments

hi is this safe for a woman in her 4th month of pregnancy? thanks
Comments
Hi Verity. Due to safety precausions it is not recommended that pregnant women participate in the Paraflights as there is a waist band that goes round the belly and if something were to ever go wrong the waist band might tighten.
Hi What would the total cost be for one triple flight consisting of 2 adults and a 5 year old child?
We are family of four - with one 20 yr old and one 10 yr old child. How can we book 2 tandem flights? I could not see an option for a tandem flight for 1 adult and 1 child. All tandems come up in multiples of 2? 20 yr old is an adult, so I can book a tandem for 2, but what about an adult and child?
Comments
Hi Zerman. For the option of the tandem flight for 1 adult and 1 child just book it in as two child tandems and in the additional info write that one of you is an adult and we will charge your card the additional $30.
Hi there,
