Parasailing is one of the most popular water activities on the beaches around Kemer, from the town centre to Tekirova: you are towed behind a boat under a parachute and rise high above the bay for a few minutes of quiet views over the sea and the Taurus Mountains. No experience is needed. This guide explains how a flight works, where to find operators, who can take part and what to check for safety.
How parasailing works
- Booking: Operators work from the beaches and water-sports points in summer; flights depend on wind and sea conditions.
- Briefing and harness: Staff fit your harness and life jacket and explain take-off and landing.
- Flight: The boat accelerates and the parachute lifts you up; most flights last a few minutes.
- Landing: You are brought back down to the boat or the water.
Where to go
- Kemer centre: Water-sports operators along the central beaches.
- Tekirova, Çamyuva and Göynük: Beaches with resort water-sports centres and independent operators.
- Beldibi: Parasailing is among the water sports offered along the Beldibi coast.
Shore type and depth for each beach are in our Antalya beaches guide; for other water sports see kayaking and SUP and diving in Kemer.

- No experience is needed. Tandem and single flights are usually available.
- Minimum age and weight limits depend on the operator; ask before booking.
- People with heart, back or blood-pressure conditions, and pregnant women, should not fly without medical advice.
