Parasailing Trip from Sahel Hashesh
Sahel Hashesh Parasailing Adventure with 15-Minute Flight
Sahel Hashesh parasailing gives you a clear view of the Red Sea coast from up to 150 m above the water. After a short safety briefing, you step into a harness, put on a life jacket and launch from the back of the vessel. The crew raises the parasail steadily, giving you time to look down at the beaches, across the Hurghada desert and along the coastal mountains.
This parasailing experience needs no previous experience or special training. The captain and crew manage the launch, tow and return to the vessel. Your flight lasts around 12–15 minutes, depending on operating conditions, and you return straight to the deck rather than entering the water. It is a simple option for first-time flyers who want the view without learning a complicated activity.
You can fly alone, with one companion or as a group of three when the crew confirms that the arrangement is suitable. Flying together lets you share the view and the excitement, while a solo flight gives you more space to focus on the sea and coastline. The boat remains your base before and after the flight, where you can sit down, catch your breath and watch other travellers take their turn.
Our team runs this as an exclusive tour experience on the water, with clear instructions and a steady pace. The captain and crew are CPR and Advanced First Aid Certified, and the parasailing equipment is inspected and certified regularly. You receive a safety briefing before take-off, and the crew checks your life jacket and harness before you leave the deck. They also control the return, so you do not need to land independently.
The atmosphere stays relaxed between flights. You can remain on the vessel, listen to the crew's instructions and watch the view change as the parasail rises above the water. Digital pictures are taken during each flight and shown to you after you return. If you would like to keep them, you can purchase them for an additional fee; the photo purchase is optional and is not part of the included service.
Parasailing suits travellers who want a short activity with a high view rather than a full-day boat excursion. It can work well for couples, families with suitable older children and friends travelling together, although each participant must be comfortable wearing a harness and following crew instructions. It is less suitable for anyone who cannot safely use the equipment or feels uneasy with height, boat movement or being lifted above the water. Tell our team about relevant mobility or health concerns before the activity so we can explain the arrangements clearly.
Booking through our team keeps the practical details together: meeting arrangements, crew instructions, equipment checks and the order of the flights. Please bring swimwear or comfortable light clothing, sun protection and a towel. Wear secure footwear on the vessel, and avoid carrying loose items that could fall during the flight. The activity depends on sea and weather conditions, so the captain makes the final decision about safe operation on the day.

The Sahel Hashesh parasailing experience includes a 12–15 minute flight, boat travel to the launch point, a life jacket, a safety harness, and support from the captain and crew. You take off from the back of the vessel and return to its deck, with no previous training required.
The crew will show you digital pictures from your flight after you return. You can purchase the pictures for an additional fee if you like them.
The parasailing flight lasts approximately 12–15 minutes, while the full activity takes longer because it includes boarding the vessel, safety instructions, harnessing, and waiting for your turn. The pace is relaxed, and the crew handles the launch and return while you enjoy views of the Red Sea, Hurghada desert, and nearby mountains.
Single, double, and triple flights are available, with up to three people in the air together where suitable.
Pickup and transfer arrangements depend on your booking and are not automatically confirmed by the tour description. This Exclusive tour departs from Sahel Hashesh, so please check the booking details or contact our team with your hotel location before travelling to the meeting point.
Allow extra time beyond the 12–15 minute flight for arrival, boarding, safety preparation, and returning to shore or the departure point.
Children may be able to join this Red Sea parasailing activity, but suitability depends on their age, size, confidence, and the captain’s safety assessment on the day. Travellers need to board the vessel, wear a harness and life jacket, and follow the crew’s instructions during takeoff and landing.
Because you leave from the back of the vessel and return to its deck, travellers with limited mobility should discuss their needs with our team before booking. We cannot confirm suitability without those details.
Wear comfortable swimwear or clothing that can get wet, and bring sunscreen, sunglasses with a secure strap, a towel, and drinking water. Secure loose items before boarding because wind and movement on the vessel can carry them away.
Life jackets and harnesses are provided. You may also want a waterproof way to protect personal belongings, although the crew takes digital pictures during each flight and shows them to you afterward.

Your Itinerary
Our team picks you up from your hotel and drives you to the marina in Sahel Hashesh. The transfer is arranged around your parasailing session, with the exact pickup time confirmed after booking. As you leave the resort area, you may see the dry Hurghada desert and the mountains beyond the coast.
At the marina, the captain and crew welcome you aboard and explain how the activity works. You do not need previous training or parasailing experience. The crew checks the harness and life-jacket, answers questions, and confirms whether you will fly alone or share the flight with one or two other travellers. This is an Exclusive tour arrangement focused on your time on the water, with the crew handling the launch and landing procedures.
The boat moves out from the marina before your flight begins. When the crew is ready, you put on your life-jacket and harness and take your position at the rear of the vessel. The parasail rises gradually behind the boat, lifting you above the Red Sea while the crew controls the tow line and flight.
Your flight lasts approximately 12–15 minutes and can reach up to 500 feet, depending on operating conditions. From above, you can look across the coastline, Sahel Hashesh beaches, the Hurghada desert, and the mountain range inland. You may fly alone, with a partner, or with up to three people at the same time. No special technique is required; keep the position shown by the crew and enjoy the view.
You return directly to the boat deck rather than entering the water. The captain and crew hold CPR and Advanced First Aid certification, and the parasailing equipment is regularly inspected and certified. Digital photographs are taken during each flight and shown to you after you return. They are optional purchases at an extra fee.
After your flight, you have time to settle back on the boat, take in the coastline from sea level, and collect your belongings. The crew can answer any final questions about the flight and show you the digital photographs taken during your turn. You can decide whether to purchase any images; buying them is optional and is not required to join the activity.
There is usually no formal meal stop on this short water excursion, so eat beforehand or bring water if you need refreshments. Once the boat returns to the marina, our team helps you disembark and meets you for the return transfer. The drive takes you back to your hotel in the Sahel Hashesh area, with drop-off arranged at the property. The timing can vary with the boat schedule and sea conditions, so allow some flexibility around the rest of your day.
