Parasailing and Blokart Land Yachting

for a Funtastic New Zealand Holiday Experience!

Parasailing is somewhat similar to Paragliding, but something you can attempt solo, as you are not totally airborne. Attached to a parachute, you are towed by a boat.

It is a good way to see if you will enjoy being caste aloft , hanging by a kite! Taupo is a particularly good place to try this exciting activity, weather conditions permitting. But there are several companies around the country where you can have a go.
