Setting Sail on a Family Adventure

As a travel writer and a mother of three, I’m always on the lookout for activities that promise both excitement and safety for the whole family. When I heard about Parascending in Marina Rubicon in Playa Blanca, I knew it was something we had to try. The idea of soaring high above the island, taking in the stunning views, was too tempting to resist.

We arrived at the Marina Rubicon on a bright, sunny morning, ready for our adventure. The kids were buzzing with excitement, and I was eager to see how they would react to this new experience. We were scheduled for an 11 AM slot, and although there was a slight hiccup with the center not being open when we arrived, a quick call sorted everything out. It was a minor delay, and soon we were on the boat, ready to take off.

Up, Up, and Away!

The boat ride itself was a delight. With a capacity of up to 12 people, it was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The crew was professional and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. As we sailed out to sea, the anticipation built up. The kids were thrilled, and I could see their eyes widen as the parachute was prepared.

When it was our turn, we opted for the tandem flight, which allowed us to experience the thrill together. As we were lifted into the air, the sensation was unlike anything I had ever felt before. It was smooth and exhilarating, and the views were simply breathtaking. The island stretched out beneath us, a patchwork of blues and greens, and the ocean sparkled in the sunlight.

The flight lasted about 10 minutes, but it felt like a lifetime of memories. The kids were laughing and pointing out sights below, and I couldn’t help but join in their excitement. The crew even managed to capture some fantastic photos of us in the air, which we happily purchased as a keepsake of our adventure.

A Day to Remember

After everyone had their turn, we enjoyed a leisurely ride back to the marina. The whole experience, from start to finish, was about 40 to 50 minutes, and it was a perfect blend of thrill and relaxation. The kids couldn’t stop talking about it, and I knew it was a day they would remember for a long time.

For families considering this activity, I highly recommend it. It’s a unique way to see the island and a fantastic bonding experience. Just remember to arrive a bit early and perhaps call ahead to confirm your booking time. And don’t forget your cap and sunscreen, as you’ll be out in the sun for a while.

Parascending in Marina Rubicon is more than just an activity; it’s an adventure that brings families closer together. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or just looking for a new way to explore, this is an experience not to be missed. I know we’ll be back for another flight soon!
