Parasailing is a water sport with two significant instruments- a parachute and a speedboat. This sport is most prominent in Goa due to the abundance of beaches and seascapes. Attached at the end of a rope fastened to a speedboat, tourists are propelled to heights of 300 to 320 feet and experience the bird's eye view of the panoramic beauty of the southwest coast of India.
