What do I need to bring with me when I go parasailing?
All you really need is a bathing suit or something you don’t mind getting wet - please, have it on since there are no places to change on the beach - If you have a waterproof camera, great, bring it! Towels are a good idea too, but not necessary. A few minutes relaxing in our Manuel Antonio sunshine and you’re ready to go!
What is the difference between Beach and Winch Boat Parasailing?
Our Beach Parasailing option incudes taking a few step on the beach, floating through the air and then landing gently in the water where you will be picked by a jet ski and transported back to the beach. You can choose from our "regular ride", which includes about 15 minutes in the air or our "luxury option", which includes about 30 minutes flying in the air. Generally, the weight limit is a bit higher (up to 450-500lbs/235 kg) from the beach. This is great choice for those who just want to parasail and then get back to the rest of their group, either joining them as they enjoy the beach or for another activity.
Our Winch Boat Parasailing option allows you to go out on a specially designed boat with your group and maybe others. Your effortless take-off and landing happens with our winch system right from the platform on the boat. You will enjoy a beautiful coastal boat ride while others take their turns floating in the air! This is a great option for families, groups, or people who just don’t want to land in the water. Safe, Fun and Easy!!
I can’t swim. Can I still parasail with Aguas Azules?
If you choose Beach Parasailing: Yes! There really is no need to swim when you parasail with Aguas Azules. You take a few steps on the beach, float through the air and then land in the water. You will be wearing a life vest the whole time and will gently float when you land. Our employees will be waiting next to you in the water at the moment you land and will bring you back to the shore on a wave runner.
If you are Parasailing from the Winch Boat: You don't have to worry at all about this, since you are not getting in the water. You still will be wearing a life vest.
I really want to remember my parasailing experience with Aguas Azules. Do you offer pictures or videos?
Yes. We offer a photo package to commemorate your parasailing experience. We get great pictures of you, including closeups (with our 50x zoom, 200x digital) and you out there with beautiful scenery. We also give you pictures that we took of the views from above (we went up with a waterproof camera), Costa Rica Wildlife and many gorgeous sunset views over the Pacific. Depending on the package that you purchased you will get SD Card or Transfer them to your Smartphone.
I am not in great shape. Can I still safely parasail?
Yes! Aguas Azules is proud to have sent all different types of people, all shapes, sizes, ages and disabilities soaring along the Manuel Antonio Coastline. You really don’t need any experience or special skills. If you have certain physical limitations, send us an email. We will do everything possible to help get you into the air!
Do you include transportation from my hotel or rental house?
If you choose Beach Parasailing: Yes, based on our availability. We will pick you up at your hotel or rental home in Quepos or Manuel Antonio and bring you down to the beach. Almost everyone chooses to stay for awhile after they parasail and enjoy the beach after.
Even if you have your own car, use the links here to find us: click here for a link to get to us by Waze or click here for directions on Google Maps.
Is there parking near your location at the beach?
The road near us is a public road, but unfortunately there are a lot of unofficial "parking attendants" in the road and before our entrance trying to have you park where they say. They can be very aggressive and are NOT official. Please contact us if you need assistance parking right near and do not hesitate to call the police if you feel threatened by the these people.
How do I find you on the beach if I want to come directly to you?
We are located on the public beach in Manuel Antonio (Espadilla Norte).
Here is a map with a picture of our tent to help you find us. Always look for our white tent with our name (Aguas Azules!) and logo printed on the tent and for our employees wearing white shirts that say Aguas Azules. Note that the owners, Melanie or Miguel, are almost always there . . . ask for them by name! You can also click here for a link to get to us by Waze or click here for directions on Google Maps.
