“Booked for my nephew and his friend as a birthday present however was sent a text message the day before informing me this activity was not available. The company however did offer an alternative of Jet skiing however a little disappointed to find the boys had to share 1 jet ski between them meaning they only got a 15 minute experience each. The original activity was for a 30 minute parasailing which they both would have experienced the activity for 30 minutes. Never the less the boys had fun. Just thought the price paid vs the length of time and notice given wasn’t justified.”
