When booking a tandem is it 99 for both adults or do you have to put the drop down to 2? which will then be around 198? Probably a silly question

Comments

Hiya Larissa, Thanks so much for your question regarding the Queenstown Paraflights. The maximum weight for parasailing is 200kg. Your combined weights can not exceed this limit for tandem & triple flights.

Comment by: karma on 2nd Sep 22 at 08:20

Hiya Larissa, Sorry, to answer your question, yes you would need to use the drop-down box and add two people to it. So you're correct it will be $198.00 for x2 paxs

Hello,
Where is says "Children under 12 will need to fly with an adult and must weigh a minimum of 18kg". Can we assume the the minimum weight of 18kg includes clothing?

Comments

thank you for your question about the Parasailing in Queenstown. Children can fly tandem or triple with an adult once they weigh over 20kgs including what they are wearing on the day.

How long are u up in the air for?

Comments

Each parasailing flight in Queenstown lasts for around 10 minutes. The boat ride will last about 55 minutes as you head away with a group of people who all parasail so the rest of the time on the boat you can sit back and relax and enjoy the views of the lake, mountains and Queenstown.

hi I was wondering if I am 138kg and brother is 70kg if we are still able to go together or not

Comments

Yes you and your brother could do the Nevis swing together as a tandem in Queenstown. The maximum combined weight limit is 220kg.

Comment by: Everything Travel Group (Callum) on 10th Jun 15 at 18:56

The maximum weight limit for the parasailing in Queenstown is 200kgs. If you are slightly over ,there is a little bit of flexibility depending on the weather conditions on the day. This will be decided by the boat captain.

Hi can I just turn up to go Paragliding or do I have to book.? I am coming to Queenstown with a group so im not sure when or if I could do it but if you let me know what the times are I could try to work it in. Many Thanx Allison

Comments

Hi Allison. Depending on the weather, the parasailing in Queenstown does operate all day. However, if you do want to get the early bird special which is a 50% price reduction then you do need to book in advance. The Early Bird special is available every day at 11am during winter and 9am during summer but it does book up. What date are you thinking of? If your group all want to book and pay separately then get them to do so via the Book Now button and mention in the 'additional information' field that they are travelling with you and I will make sure you are all together

Hi Could you tell me what i should wear while parasailing in the winter time? Thanks

Comments

Hi Li. The weather is usually great for parasailing in Queenstown in winter with often clear blue skies and little wind. It is cold though so when doing any of the outside activities just make sure you wear lots of layers as well as woolen gloves and beanie etc.

For 3 adults (combined weight under 200kgs) is it possible for a triple?

Comments

Hi Amy. Yes, weather and wind conditions permitting you can book 3 adults as a triple on the parasailing in Queenstown but its quite tight up there in the triple harness which is why generally there needs to be at least 1 small child as part of the three otherwise its just too tight in the harness, irrespective of the total weight being under 200kgs. You are welcome to book however on the day if the instructors say that it is going to be too tight a squeeze then they may request that one of you flies solo and the other two fly tandem.

Can we have a triple for adults also? (3 adults parasailing together)

Comments

Hi Amy, unfortunately there is no triple option for 3 adults. You could fly with 2 adults and a smaller child however the maximum weight for the flight is 200kg so generally a triple adult flight cannot be done.

My family group have 2 adults and 2 children, so we should fly 2 times (1adult +1child for each time) , right ? And how about the total cost and how about the duration for joining this activity?

Comments

Hi Joe. Yes you will need to book 2 tandem Queenstown parasailing flights. You can book 2 adults tandem ($109 each)  and 2 children tandem ($79 each) so the total is $376. You can then choose to fly 1 adult + 1 child  each time when you are on board the boat. The total trip time will be 1 hour and each flight lasts for about 10 minutes so each person will get 10 minutes in the air.

Hi Verity. Due to safety precausions it is not recommended that pregnant women participate in the Paraflights as there is a waist band that goes round the belly and if something were to ever go wrong the waist band might tighten.

We are family of four - with one 20 yr old and one 10 yr old child. How can we book 2 tandem flights? I could not see an option for a tandem flight for 1 adult and 1 child. All tandems come up in multiples of 2? 20 yr old is an adult, so I can book a tandem for 2, but what about an adult and child?

Comments

Hi Zerman. For the option of the tandem flight for 1 adult and 1 child just book it in as two child tandems and in the additional info write that one of you is an adult and we will charge your card the additional $30.
