Best Time for Parasailing: October to April
Parasailing is a much sought after sport in Goa. People who love to
soar high like a bird and have a bird's eye view of the coastline and
the vast sea should try the parasailing sport. Para sailing is also
known by the name of Para Ascending and is sure to set your pulses
racing when you try it. Many tourists prefer trying the parasailing
sport of Goa when they come on a vacation. It is a sure treat for an
adventure seeker and at affordable rates, one can hardly resist it.
For parasailing, a speed boat and a parasail are the essential
requirements. A sturdy rope of about 300 feet is attached to the
parasail harness at one end and the other end is securely attached to
the boat. As the boat gains speed, the person attached to the parasail
is heaved up in the air. Since the person is securely attached to the
sail, he has very or sometimes no control over the sail. From a height
of around 300 feet, you can view the vast coastline of Goa, the lofty
Western Ghats and the turquoise blue sea.
The best time to experience this sport is right after the monsoons
since the skies clear up and the seas are placid and safe. A light
breeze blows from the months of October to April and one can truly enjoy
parasailing then. Many beaches like Condolim Beach, Majorda Beach,
Anjuna Beach and Baga Beach provide this sport to tourists at nominal
rates. Para sailing in Goa is sure to set adrenalin rushing through your
body and this will be an experience you are not going to forget for a
long time!
