Jet Ski Tours in Cancún: 15 to Build a Day On

1.Parasailing Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 313 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $60Our pick

Meet the Parasail Cancun crew at Adventure Bay near Playa Tortugas, board a water taxi, then fly 80 meters above Cancun, Nichupté Lagoon, and Isla Mujeres for 10 to 12 minutes. The boat handles takeoff and landing, so no experience is needed. Hotel transfers and professional photos are available at extra cost.

“We booked this for our son’s 18th birthday, so it was very disappointing that you cancelled at short notice. It was windy, so we re-booked for the next day and you cancelled again at short notice. There was hardly any wind, but you insisted it was too dangerous. We had to book with another company and in spite of you saying it was dangerous, we went parasailing with them very safely. We then didn’t receive the refund until we had got home from our holiday, which was annoying because we had to pay again to do the activity.”

Luckily my third friend did not come because she wouldn’t have been able to ride. The jet ski’s not working is understandable but I would have much preferred to get a phone call before making the trip. Also, they charge a $15 service fee, which I also feel they should have made us pay before showing up.

My only complaint was that I was told that my cost for the amazing photos and pictures and video would only cost $120 (the guy who sold them to me asked for prior approval), someone went ahead and charged my card an additional $30. Not happy about that, and I have already taken steps to rectify the issue. You are better off paying cash for most…”
