Parasailing in Mossel Bay (Mosselbaai), Garden Route - Shark and Whale Watching.
Mossel Bay heralds the start of the Garden Route as you travel east from Cape Town. This once sleepy holiday town has exploded with activity due to the discovery of offshore natural gas. Luckily for the visiting adventure seeker, Mossel Bay has not lost its seaside charm and amazing sea-based activities proliferate.
Parasailing in Mossel Bay is one of the adventures to put on your list as it ticks so many boxes beside the amazing adrenalin buzz it provides. It’s a premier way to get a sense of the lay of the land; 360-degree views of the distant Outeniqua mountains and the stunning golden beached coastline. It’s also a marine safari where you often see the shadowy shapes of great white sharks as they hunt for seals. In season, the magnificent Southern Right Whale is regularly spotted by parasailers who float 300-meters above the Indian Ocean.
Parasailing operators have been offering these exhilarating flights for many years and even have a specially designed boat, that allows a dry take-off and landing in the vessel, for the purpose.
