Parasailing is the easiest way to see the Lefkada archipelago from the air. You head out by speedboat from Nidri beach, get harnessed on the rear platform and take off gently from the boat, without getting wet.
What you do
- Safety talk and harness fitting on board.
- Take-off from the boat’s flying platform.
- A 10-15 minute flight at 50-100 metres over the bay.
- Views of Skorpios, Madouri, Meganisi and the Lefkada coast, then a soft landing back on the boat.
Who it is for
Almost everyone, from children flying tandem with an adult to grown-ups. No experience or piloting skills needed. Ideal to share as a couple or with a child.
What to bring
- Swimwear or comfortable clothes.
- Sunglasses with a strap.
- Phone or camera in a case with a lanyard, at your own risk.
Best time
May to October, in the morning or late afternoon when the wind is moderate. There are no flights in strong wind or storms.
Good to know
You fly with a life jacket and certified equipment. There are weight limits per flight, confirmed by the operator when booking. For tandem the price covers both flyers.
