Soar Above the Straits: Parasailing Adventure from Mackinac Island

Take flight over the breathtaking Straits of Mackinac on a thrilling parasailing adventure departing from Mackinac Island. This unforgettable experience offers a rare, sky-high perspective of the island’s shoreline, the sparkling waters of Lake Huron, and the surrounding Great Lakes region.

Your adventure begins right on the island with a friendly safety briefing and equipment check. You’ll be fitted with a harness and life jacket, then given simple instructions to ensure a smooth and enjoyable flight. Once ready, you’ll board a specially equipped parasailing boat and head out into open water.

As the boat picks up speed, feel the parasail lift you effortlessly into the sky—ascending up to 500 feet. From this unique vantage point, enjoy sweeping views of Mackinac Island’s historic charm, the mighty Mackinac Bridge, and the meeting point of Lake Huron and Lake Michigan.

Peaceful yet exhilarating, the experience lets you float silently above the water with only the wind in your ears and the distant hum of the boat below. Keep your eyes peeled for island wildlife along the shoreline or birds gliding alongside you.

The full excursion lasts about one hour, including boat time and preparation, with each individual parasailing flight typically lasting 10 to 12 minutes. During your flight, you’ll have the chance to take stunning photos—or let the crew capture the moment for you so you can relax and enjoy the ride.

Whether you’re seeking a new way to experience the island or simply want a thrilling memory to take home, parasailing from Mackinac Island delivers unmatched views and an unforgettable experience.
