Parasailing Adventures

Great experience, the staff is super friendly. What i didn’t like was that if you want to buy the pictures you have to pay $ 24 upfront, like seriously? how am i suppose to know if the pictures came out good?

Went on Friday morning at 8:30AM because you get $ 15 off if you go before 8:30 and had an amazing experience! This was my first time parasailing and I’m so glad I chose them.
So when it is time to get on the boat to go out in the waters you are grouped with a few others. In my time slot we had a total of 4 groups including mine. Although the next time slot only had one group, so it really depends. Anyways each group was up there for 10 minutes and my boyfriend and I went last so we were just enjoying the view for around 30 minutes. Also the staff is super friendly and funny, so they definitely did a great job in keeping us entertained. When it was finally our turn, I got super excited! When we finally got up there, the view was AMAZING from up there. I have no complaints except compliments. The staff seemed to know what they were doing and I felt very safe.
Overall it was a great experience. We also got the photo package for $ 24 which comes with a memory card, and the photographer took 37 pictures for us! I honestly think it’s worth it because they don’t allow electronics so the only way you can have these memories physically are these amazing photos! I highly recommend this place!
Tips:
–You may get a little wet because they dip you a little in the water towards the end so be aware of that
–It is cheaper before 8:30 AM, you get $ 15 off and I believe before 12 PM you get $ 10 off (quite unsure of the discount before 12, def should give them a call!)
–I would recommend booking online or calling them in advanced especially if it is peak season
HAVE FUN!

I took my children and the child we are hosting from Brooklyn through the fresh air fund up for a ride on 8÷17÷15. The smile on his face was priceless and the experience was wonderful! The crew was fun and everything ran like clockwork. we can’t wait to come back!!!

Mixed feelings about this place. The ride was fun although we didn’t go out for our 12 o’clock until 20 after even though they told us to be there 15 minutes before noon. We didn’t get up into the air until around 1:30. The people on the boats were extremely nice, knowledgeable about the area and entertaining.
My issue is with the manager at the land base. He is a mean old man and you can’t miss him. He was yelling at his customers, random kids walking by his stand, and his own employees over the radio, which was very embarrassing having to hear that as a customer. He’s a jerk and it really ruined my mood, and it showed in the way the place is run. Pretty disorganized because he does more yelling than working.
We got the photo package, but it wasn’t really worth it. The girl, who was just the boat driver, didn’t even have a long lens and only snapped a few pictures on take off and landing.
Let me emphasize that the people on the boat were nice and enjoyed what they were doing. But the long wait, disorganization, and evil old man made this place suck more than rock.

My husband and I booked our parasailing adventure during a family trip to Lake George. It was both our first time parasailing. Since we booked an appointment prior to 12 noon, we received a $ 10 discount.
We arrived about half hour early for our appointment. Apparently the boats were overbooked (there are supposed to be 10 people per boat), the workers had reserved spots for 14 people per boat. This caused a delay. I overheard a man at the counter asking why they were still waiting at 8:30 am to go out on a boat they had booked for 8:00 am. I was appalled by how the manager spoke to him. I was expecting him to be all apologies, but instead he was completely obnoxious and said «what do want me to do fire the girls because they can’t do math? It’s not my fault one of my captain’s didn’t show up today. You can either have a refund or come back tomorrow». The man simply stated that it would have been nice to have been informed of the delay.
I felt badly hearing this exchange and thought that the customer was very reasonable and that the manager was way out of line. I guess when you run a business like that at Lake George, customers are plentiful so you can get away with treating them poorly which is such a shame.
We were luckier than that customer. We only had to wait 15 min. past our appointment time and our boat only had 6 people on it! The guys on our boat were awesome! They made it such a wonderful, fun and memorable experience. We purchased the photo package for an extra $ 24 and it was well worth it. We were told we would get an SD card with 8 – 12 photos. We were psyched to discover 84 pictures on our card!!! We got a perfect day and had a wonderful experience.
Truly, the only negative was witnessing and overhearing the manager treat the other customers poorly. If they get rid of him or he has an attitude adjustment, the business will be perfect!

staff is always very courteous and polite. Our original time was cancelled due to high winds and they gave us a phone call notification before we left, offering us a full refund, or the option to reschedule, we chose the latter. We scheduled for the 8 am ride, and it was amazing, Jim and 2 other crew members (did not get their names) were very professional and made the time enjoyable. If you are on the edge about parasailing, try parasailing adventures at 8 am, the lake looks AMAZING when there are no other boats on the water.

Very rude and unprofessional ownership. We left and will not come back to this business ever. The female worker at this location was lovely and tried to be accommodating but then the male owner came and was incredibly rude and we left as a result. We came here on vacation and after calling the day before to make sure that they would be open, they closed and would not allow us to parasail because it had been raining that morning, though the weather turned out to be lovely later on (when we arrived). The owner was incredibly rude to us and kept asking ‘did you read the groupon’? as it was dependent on weather. Obviously he did not read the weather forecast or have enough customer service ability to treat us with respect. We will return the groupon and not come back to this location. If you are planning to enjoy your time in lake George and be treated with respect in order to enjoy your experience, do not come here. I would not encourage contributing to an inconsiderate owner who cares only about money and not customers.

I think everything said in previous reviews is true. Big thumbs up for these guys.
Accommodating and joyful, all the members were friendly. We loved our adventure. We got free tshirts from the owner guy Mike for our ride got postponed to next day due to windy weather the previous evening. Overall great, keep it up guys. would recommend this affordable fun ride to everyone.

This should be a «must do» during a visit for most of us to Lake George. Last Sunday (8÷18÷13) my wife and 2 teenage children parasailed on the 9 am departure along with about 6 others. My children went first and then my wife and I. We felt safe under the direction of their competent and friendly staff. I brought my own camera (even on the parasail) and mistakenly left it in the shoe box on the dock after the ride (what was I thinking??). After retracing our steps later that morning we were all relieved to find that the staff was aware of the camera in the shoe box and the manager indicated that they would have called all parasailer groups that day to determine the owner of the camera! That was nice to hear and we were relieved to have our camera back with so many great pictures of this experience and others.

This was my 1^st time parasailing and my 13 yr old and 7 yr old went up with me. We went before noon so we got $ 5 off per person making it $ 70 per person. I believe you are in the air about 10min. I wish it was longer that’s my only reason for 4 stars and not 5. For the price I wish you were actually in the air longer. But the staff was great!!! It was Amazing!!! The whole ride was calm and peaceful from start to finish! No problems at all!!! I thought it was totally worth it even though it cost a nice amount of money it was worth the experience! We got the photo package as well. Not the greatest but would recommend to save the memory

This was a great experience! I’m really happy we ended up doing this while visiting Lake George.
The staff was very friendly. We went on an earlier run (9am) and thankfully there were only two other groups going up with us. The whole trip took about 45 minutes. It was also cool just to be sitting out on the boat and chatting with the other people.
The pictures were good however many were out of focus or focused on a section of the rope instead of the actual parasail. It wouldn’t hurt to get a better quality camera or maybe a bit of training in photography. It’s obviously hard to focus the shot while on a moving boat however, it is $ 24 so I they could have been better. Either way I don’t regret the decision to get photos taken.
Definitely try out parasailing if you haven’t done so before!

This is the second time I have parasailed with this company. I was really young the first time I went, so I was really excited to go for a second time. You pay $ 75 per person & $ 24 if you want photos. IT IS WORTH IT!
You go out with a group of other people & get to watch everyone parasail. Not only is the parasailing amazing but then you get to hang out on the lake in the boat. The crew is all really nice.
All around amazing experience. I will go again whenever I am in town!

This was an amazing experience. It’s about $ 75 dollars per person and is worth every penny.
You are placed with a group of about 10 people. You can parasail with up to three people at a time. Don’t worry about getting wet and dress warm. Especially if you are going to do the morning run. The morning run is also slightly cheaper than the afternoon spots.
You’ll be up in the air for about 8 – 10 minutes. The harness they put you in feels like your 300 feet up in a lounge chair. It’s actually quite relaxing.
The only draw back is that you have to wait for everyone to parasail before you can go back to shore. Which takes about an hour.
I highly recommend this activity if you’re in town.
