Activity description

Get the best views of the Port Les Minimes and Ile de Ré from the sea while parasailing in La Rochelle!

Ready to take to the skies above the Pertuis d'Antioche for an unforgettable aerial experience? Offering the chance to admire exceptional panoramas of some of the most beautiful sites in Charente-Maritime from a unique angle, this parasailing flight in La Rochelle is an activity not to be missed under any circumstances from the Port Les Minimes. Alone, as a couple, or even with friends or family in groups of 3 or 4 under the same canopy, you will spend 12 magical minutes in the air!

Departing from the Quai du Lazaret, a boat will take you out to sea so that your parasailing flight in La Rochelle gives you a breathtaking view not only of La Rochelle but also of the south-east of Ile de Ré and its famous bridge, as well as Ile d'Oléron and Ile d'Aix in the distance. You will take off from the rear platform of the boat, which will also be your landing site: if you want to stay dry throughout the flight, without touching water with your feet, that is perfectly possible!

Carried out alongside professionals who will ensure your safety and comfort throughout the experience, this parasailing flight in La Rochelle will leave you with marvellous memories, combining breathtaking scenery and conviviality.
