If you’re looking for a way to get high above the beaches and soak in the spectacular views of Fuengirola, this parasailing tour might just be your ticket to a memorable adventure. We haven’t personally flown with Fuengirola Sea Trips, but their reputation suggests they offer the best luxury parasailing experience on the Costa del Sol, blending safety, comfort, and incredible scenery.
What really catches our eye about this activity is its family-friendly nature and the chance to see the coastline from a perspective few get to enjoy. Another plus: the luxury element, which suggests a more comfortable, well-organized experience. A potential consideration is that it’s not suited for very young children or pregnant women, so check those restrictions if you’re traveling with little ones or expecting.
This tour is ideal for travelers who want a blend of adventure and sightseeing, especially those craving breathtaking panoramic views of the Mediterranean from a height of 250 meters.

An Overview of the Experience
Getting ready for this parasailing adventure involves a simple and straightforward process. We loved the way the tour starts with checking in 20 minutes early at the Fuengirola Sea Trips offices, located conveniently next to Sould Park. The location is easy to find, marked by green vests and signage, which keeps things simple for travelers arriving without prior arrangements.
Once checked in, the staff guides you through the safety briefing—important because parasailing is a shared activity that depends a lot on proper equipment and instructions. They provide lockers so you can stow your personal belongings, an appreciated feature that keeps your valuables safe while you’re out at sea.

The Boat Ride and Preparation
Your adventure begins with a boat ride, which in itself offers a preview of the beautiful coastline. The boat is the launching point for your flight, and the crew’s professionalism really shines here. Expect friendly, multilingual guides (English, French, Spanish) who take safety seriously but also make the experience fun.
When it’s time to strap into your harness and parasailing gear, the crew ensures everyone is comfortable. The activity is designed for groups, with the weighing process helping to organize safe and balanced groups, making sure everyone gets a smooth, enjoyable ride.
The Flight
Once airborne, you’ll hover at about 250 meters—a height that offers sweeping views without feeling dizzying. We loved the sensation of flying over the sea, feeling the cool breeze and taking in the stunning vistas of Fuengirola and the surrounding coast. The activity is designed to be relaxing as well as exhilarating, so you can take your time enjoying the scenery.
You’re not just flying solo—most parasails are configured for family or friends to fly together, which adds to the fun. During the flight, you can expect to see the coastline, the beaches, and maybe even the distant mountains of Andalusia. It’s an experience that’s suitable for most ages (over 4 years old), but not for pregnant women or those with certain health restrictions.
Ending the Flight and Return
After a few minutes in the air, the crew carefully brings you back to the boat, where you’ll unstrap and prepare for the return ride. The whole process from check-in to finish takes about an hour, which includes some waiting time, safety instructions, and the flight itself.
The activity concludes back at the starting point, allowing you to linger and enjoy the sea breeze or continue exploring Fuengirola.
