Is parasailing in Queenstown weather dependent?
Yes, like many Queenstown activities, parasailing is weather dependent and can be cancelled with high winds or bad weather. For this reason it is always a good idea to book in advance for one of your first days in town so that if the weather is no good you can reschedule to another day. You will need to call Paraflights about 30 minutes before your flight (or pop into the kiosk on the main pier) to check if your flight is going ahead.

How long does the parasail flight last for on Queenstown lake?
You will be in the air parasailing for about 10 minutes but the entire trip will take about 55 minutes as you will go out on lake Wakatipu in Queenstown on board the boat with several other passengers. While you are not flying you will be able to take in the sights of the surrounding mountains on board the boat as well as watch the other passengers parasail high above.
