You'll rise above Soma Bay's Red Sea shoreline on a short parasail flight, typically up to about 50 metres. The crew fit a harness and life jacket, then winch you up for a view of the coast. Fly solo or tandem; no previous experience is required.
Coastline drops away the moment the tow line pays out and your harness lifts off the boat deck. At Soma Bay the flight runs just off the compact resort shore, so the view is nearby hotels, open water and the pale curve of the bay. The crew handle the winch while you keep still and take in the height.
Silence up high contrasts with the engine noise below, broken only by wind in the canopy lines. A brief dip toward the water sometimes finishes the ride before you land back on the deck. Spray, sun and a wide-angle look at the Red Sea coast are what you carry away.
Soma Bay is a compact Red Sea hotel strip facing open water, with the flight running just off that coast rather than heading for a distant island. The view from the harness is the resort shoreline and the nearshore sea. Wind and sea state still have to be usable before the crew will launch.
Days here are built around the water, so a short flight can sit beside a quieter beach morning if you leave the window clear. After landing, the rest of the day is free at the hotel. Share your resort name so the team can confirm whether collection applies to your stay. Guests who prefer to go independently should ask for the boat meeting point when the place is confirmed rather than guessing a pin on a map.
No flying qualification is required. Sitting in a harness over water and getting wet should feel comfortable. The crew fit the kit and run the winch, so first-timers can join without prior air time. Tell the crew if you would rather fly tandem than solo.
Swimwear under a cover-up works well, plus shoes you can slip off on the boat. A towel, sunscreen and a dry layer are worth bringing. Valuables are safest in the hotel safe. Young guests can join if they are happy in a harness over water; infant seats are available on the transfer, so share ages when you confirm your place.
Kit and a crew-run winch keep the outing simple to join from Soma Bay. Solo and tandem share the same launch, so you can match the harness to who you are flying with. The flight stays close to this coast, so the half-day stays simple rather than turning into a long sea day.
Hotel transfer is available when collection is arranged, which keeps the logistics flexible. If the crew cannot launch safely, the start time may shift or you may move to another slot the same day. Stay reachable that morning so any change can reach you.
Reach the boat from your Soma Bay hotel if collection is arranged, or make your own way to the meeting point given when your place is confirmed. Wear swimwear under a cover-up and keep shoes you can slip off on the deck within easy reach.
Share your resort name when collection applies so the driver can find the right gate. Stay in reception during the pickup window rather than waiting at a secondary entrance.
On the boat the crew fit a life jacket and harness and talk through the launch. You can fly solo or tandem. Sit still while they winch you up, typically to about 50 metres, for a look along the Soma Bay coast.
Say which harness setup you prefer when you step on deck. Steering the canopy yourself is not part of the experience, and spray on the way up or down is common.
The crew bring you back to the deck, unclip the harness and help you find your footing before the boat heads in. A towel and dry layer are worth having ready once you are back on board.
If collection was arranged, the same van returns you to your Soma Bay hotel. Guests who made their own way leave from the same meeting point where you joined the boat.
Hotel pickup in the Soma Bay area is available. Share your resort name so the team can confirm collection for your slot.
If you prefer to make your own way, ask for the meeting point when your place is confirmed rather than guessing a pin on a map.
No experience is required. The crew fit a harness and life jacket and run the winch. You can fly solo or tandem, depending on who you are with and how the boat is set that day.
You should be happy sitting over water and getting splashed on the way up or down. Say which setup you prefer when you confirm your place.
Wear swimwear under a cover-up, plus shoes you can slip off on the boat. Bring a towel, sunscreen and a dry layer for the return.
Leave valuables in the hotel safe. A life jacket and harness are fitted on the boat, so you do not need to bring your own kit.
The flight is a short tow, typically up to about 50 metres. Plan around one and a half hours door to door including any transfer, briefing and time on the boat.
Keep a little extra time either side so you are not rushing back for another plan at the hotel.
Young guests can join if they are happy in a harness over water. Infant seats are available on the transfer. Share ages when you confirm your place so the crew can plan the harness setup.
Tandem is the usual setup for a child flying with an adult. Mention who will only watch from the boat so the crew are not waiting on an extra flight.
Parasailing needs usable wind and sea state. If the crew cannot launch, they may shift the start time or move you to another slot the same day.
Stay reachable that morning so any change can reach you before you leave the hotel or set off independently.
this outing is the Soma Bay flight. If you are staying in Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh, use the listing that matches that hotel strip rather than this one.
Share your resort name so the team can confirm whether collection applies to your stay.
A life jacket and harness are fitted on the boat before you leave the deck. The crew run the tow and the landing. Listen for when to sit still and when you may get a dip toward the water.
You are not asked to pack or unpack the canopy, and you are not steering it yourself.
If collection is arranged, the meeting point is your Soma Bay hotel. Stay in reception during the pickup window so the driver can find the right gate.
Otherwise ask for the boat meeting point when your place is confirmed rather than guessing a pin on a map.
Yes. You can fly on your own or in a tandem harness with another guest, depending on how the crew set the boat that day. Say which you prefer when you confirm your place.
The crew handle the winch either way, so you are not steering the canopy yourself.
