Parasailing can give you a bird’s eye view of the Keys and the turquoise waters surrounding the area. If you haven’t tried parasailing before, it is a blast and provides breathtaking views that you just can’t see from the ground.

Some of the common things you get to see from your vantage point is the Keys (Islands), the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, boats and jet skis and birds.  Some of the not so common things you could see would be the likes of stingrays, turtles, dolphins and other various creatures of the sea.

Kiteboarding is not usually something you can just go and do with little or no experience.  There is a little bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it is an awesome experience.  Luckily there are plenty of instructors in the area to provide you with lessons to get you up and running.  Once you learn, you will be hooked for life.
