(For context, we did only parasailing/paragliding.)
About an hour post-booking, when told to arrive, there was still just one man working on a desk trying to book things for tons of people all crowded around. It wasn’t well organised at all- we were told it would be a 30 minute wait, then 5 minutes, then 10.
Eventually we get on the small banana boat (which was probably the most fun part) which took us out to a speedboat. We then stayed on the speedboat for 40 minutes as people got on and off other water activites. We were told originally that the entirety of the trip would be taking 40 minutes.. It was really unclear what was going on.
We board the boat for parasailing with some others and instantly it became unbearable. I’m really biased for this part because i get seasickness, but in the boiling heat, with little to no shade for passengers, in very harsh waves for an hour, it was impossible not to be nearly throwing up over the side of the boat.
I was only a passenger, but from other’s experiences, the actual parasailing itself was amazing. If you cope well with motion sickness & don’t mind the heat, i’d recommend it! I think the other activites looked more fun & were more copeable like the jet-skiing, because i’d imagine you’re constantly getting a splash of cool water.
I think overall it really depends on how busy they are. I’m sure that some people have a perfectly smooth experience, but it is a hit or miss. Especially with the other tourists & tour guides too, as on ours there was only one other guy on the boat who could speak some english (but again, it’s literally on a spanish island, just something to be aware of if you don’t speak the language).
