Parasailing

Parasailing - practical travel guide with honest advice.

Strap into a parasail harness, get towed behind a speedboat, and ascend 50–100 metres above Negombo's lagoon for a 15-minute flight. The boat stays in shallow water the entire time, keeping you within view of the beach. You see the fishing fleet, coastal villages, and lagoon mouth from above. The ride is gentler than jet skiing but more visual; minimal fear of falling since the parachute is inherently stable. Returns you to shore dry (unless you request a water dip). Best for travellers wanting a one-off adrenaline shot. It takes 15 minute flight and is rated easy.
