Parasailing in Half Moon Cay

We are thinking of booking the parasailing excusion when we visit Half Moon Cay on our upcoming Holland America cruise. If you 've done this I'd like to hear from you. Was it worth the cost? Is there a time preference? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks..........

I was at HMC this past April, and don't remember parasailing being offered. Beautiful beach though...the very best of all the cruise lines! You might want to ask this question on the Holland america board.

Parasailing is still listed on HAL's site:

DURATION: Approximately 1 hour (5-minute ride)

PRICE: $69 Adult $69 Child

Don a "parachute" and take off from behind a speed boat as the wind catches your chute, lifting you into the sky. A platform is attached to the boat for a dry landing. Life vest provided.

NOTES:

Minimum weight is 75 lbs., maximum weight is 250 lbs. Observers are not allowed in the parasail boat. Wind conditions dictate whether guests parasail in pairs or as singles. Altitude varies but may be as high as 600 feet.

Many of the shore excursions and watersport "toy" rentals on Half Moon Cay require that you sign a waiver release form administered by the tour operator. Please obtain a copy of this waiver from the Shore Excursion Office on board the ship to expedite the process for yourself and your fellow tour participants. Observers are not allowed on the parasail boat.

Hi c, might I suggest going to the HAL board. There is a wonderful thread that should still be on the first page. Many people said they loved it and it was well worth the money!
