The parasailing itself was good, but not breathtaking. We were only in the air for 5 minutes and not even 50 meters, let alone more, but we still enjoyed it (you can book a third person on site for 20 euros more).
But since we were only in the air for such a short time, we got compensation (we were then allowed to ride the "crazy sofa" again, which we enjoyed a LOT. The staff are very friendly.
