American Village Parasailing
Tour Details
Tour Details
Parasailing is a marine activity where you wear a parachute and get pulled by a boat, letting you soar through the sky. It requires no special skill or fitness level, which is part of what makes it so approachable even for beginners. Gliding over Okinawa's ocean like a bird is an experience unlike anything else in daily life.
It's only about 20–30 minutes by car from Naha Airport, so it's an easy first stop for visitors too!
We'll depart from Chatan Fisharena. It's just a 5-minute walk from American Village, one of the main island's most popular tourist areas. There's parking near the meeting point too, free for up to 2 hours.
