An In-Depth Look at Cala Bona’s Parasailing Adventure

What Is the Experience Like?

This parasailing trip starts with a speedboat ride out into Cala Bona’s shimmering waters, where the real fun begins. Once anchored securely, you’ll be gently lifted into the air to 100 meters — a height that provides a breathtaking perspective on Mallorca’s coastline. Imagine floating above turquoise waters, with the coastline stretching in all directions—an experience that’s both exhilarating and picture-perfect.

The boat ride itself lasts up to an hour, giving you plenty of time to soak in the scenery, chat with your guides, or simply prepare for your flight. The actual parasailing flight lasts around 10 minutes, but during that time, you’ll enjoy a panoramic view of the coast, the crystalline waters, and the lush landscape beyond.

What Makes This Tour Special?

One of the biggest draws is the view from the sky. As you glide 100 meters above the water, you’re treated to an unobstructed, bird’s eye perspective of Mallorca’s beautiful coastline. Whether you’re capturing photos or just soaking it in, the aerial perspective adds a layer of appreciation for the island’s natural beauty.

Another highlight is the friendly, professional staff. Many reviews mention the crew as being helpful, funny, and attentive, making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. For example, one reviewer said, “The crew was friendly and very funny. We will try it again,” emphasizing the approachable atmosphere.

The shared flight option adds a social element, making it a fun group activity, especially if you’re traveling with a small family or a couple of friends.

Considerations and Practical Tips

One point to keep in mind is that hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so you’ll need to arrange your own transportation to the meeting point. The activity does require favorable weather conditions, so it’s worth checking the forecast on your planned day.

If you’re sensitive to heights or just prefer a solo experience, note that the minimum weight per flight is 100 kg (which can be a single, double, or triple), and the maximum weight is 250 kg. For those under 12 or with smaller children, this might not be the best fit.

What Could Be Better?

Some travelers might prefer to have the option for individual flights rather than shared, as one review pointed out the tight space with three people flying together. If you’re someone who values more room, this is worth noting, but overall it seems the shared flights are generally well-managed and safe.
