Looking down on the ocean off Mactan Island from above was absolutely amazing!!! The thrill of soaring higher and higher while parasailing was unbeatable, and I’ll never forget that view lol. The banana boat ride afterward was so fast—I laughed my head off—and the staff were so fun and easygoing; it was just the best!! I got to experience both of these thrills in the blink of an eye and was totally satisfied★

It was the kids’ first time trying water sports, but the Japanese staff spoke to them gently from a child’s perspective, so they were able to join in with smiles on their faces right away! During parasailing, they were thrilled, exclaiming, “The ocean is so blue!” And on the banana boat ride that followed, the whole family clung on tight to avoid falling off while laughing our heads off... The high-quality equipment gave us peace of mind regarding safety, and we’ve added another precious memory to our family’s album♪

The best part is how efficiently you can experience both parasailing and the banana boat ride. Since there were staff members who spoke Japanese, everything went very smoothly—from check-in to transportation and switching between activities. The view from the sky was amazing, and I thoroughly enjoyed the thrills on the water. If I had to mention one thing, the sun is quite strong, so I’d recommend taking thorough precautions against sunburn.
