Parasailing and jet skiing at Corbyn’s Cove
Parasailing over Corbyn's Cove Beach gives you a bird's-eye view of Port Blair’s turquoise waters and coastline.

Ideal for first-time flyers and adventure seekers looking for a short, high-adrenaline experience.

Arrive 15–20 minutes before your scheduled slot; counters are usually near the beach entrance.
Receive a safety briefing, get fitted with harness and life jacket, and check radio/hand signals.
Listen carefully to instructions; wear secure footwear or go barefoot.
Board the towboat and get hooked to the parasail. The boat accelerates and you are lifted smoothly into the air.
Take deep breaths and enjoy the view; operators usually stabilize the ride at height.
After the allotted time, the boat lowers the parasail for a gentle water/boat recovery and return to shore.
Operators will help detach you and guide you safely back to the beach.
