Parasailing in the Pilanesberg

Soaring high above the water - Thrilling Parasailing in the Pilanesberg

Parasailing in the Pilanesberg region is a one-of-a-kind experience where adventure meets natural beauty. Suspended high above the shimmering lake at Sun City’s Waterworld, you’ll enjoy unmatched aerial views of the Pilanesberg landscape — ancient volcanic hills, rolling bushveld, and the distant outline of Pilanesberg National Park.

This activity blends the peacefulness of flight with the rush of elevation. Towed by a specialised speedboat, participants are gently lifted into the air, securely strapped into a harness, and given the opportunity to float high above the water. From up there, the view is breathtaking — not only of Sun City but also of the wild terrain that defines the greater Pilanesberg region.

Parasailing here is ideal for beginners and thrill-seekers alike. No experience is needed, and the take-off and landing are safe and smooth from the boat. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy the scenery, snap memorable photos, and tick off a bucket list adventure — whether solo or flying tandem.

Waterworld, where the activity takes place, is open year-round and operates daily. This makes parasailing easily accessible to visitors staying in Pilanesberg lodges, Sun City resorts, or even day-trippers looking to add a dose of adrenaline to their bush escape.

With the Pilanesberg mountains on one side and the vibrant Sun City resort on the other, parasailing in this region is a must-do activity that offers a unique angle on one of South Africa’s most iconic landscapes.
