Creator's Key Takeaways
It's the most serene thrill seeking ever.
I am not a heights person, but this is not scary heights. This is beautiful and feels so safe.
I didn't expect it to make me cry, but as soon as we got in the air, I started tearing up because it was so beautiful.
I need to go look up how much this was cuz right now my opinion is worth every penny.

Is parasailing at Disney’s Castaway Cay worth the extra money? Today, the Five Hungry Travelers are taking to the skies! While we usually stick to the amazing "free" things to do at Castaway Cay—like the Pelican Plunge slides and the Castaway Cay 5K—today I am stepping out of my comfort zone to try a high-flying port adventure for the first time. Join me as I head to Marge’s Barges on the Disney Destiny inaugural season for a solo parasailing excursion. From the pre-flight nerves and safety briefing to the incredible, serene views of the brand-new Disney Destiny from 300 feet in the air, I am sharing the raw, unvarnished experience of what it’s like to fly over the Bahamas. In this video we cover: Booking and Logistics: How to find Marge’s Barges, what time to show up, and the one thing I forgot to bring (don't make my towel mistake!). The Harness and Gear: My "pro-tip" for what to wear to prevent a harness wedgie and how the safety briefing works before you board the boat. The Flying Experience: What it actually feels like to fly solo. Is it windy? Is it scary? I was surprised by how peaceful and quiet it felt once I was up there. The View of the Destiny: Catch a birds-eye view of the Disney Destiny from the air—this is truly one of the best ways to see the ship's stunning stern and "Hero" themes. Is it Worth the Money? I’ll break down the cost, the time in the air (about 5 minutes), and the age requirements for kids who want to try it. This was an emotional experience for me, and as we wrap up our Disney Destiny series, I am so grateful to share this "final" bit of magic with you all. Whether you are a thrill seeker or just looking for the best view in the Bahamas, I hope this guide helps you decide if parasailing is right for your next Disney Cruise.
