Personal Watercraft Tour VS Parasailing on Castaway Cay

[Disneybridein2k3]

Opinions please!!! I've never done either excursion and both look like a blast but the budget will only allow for one -- so, which one is better???
TIA!

I parasailed on CC!!! Oh man, what a blast!!! I was alittle scared at first (as I'm afraid of water) but you wouldn't believe how peaceful it is up in the air! I had a wonderful time!

I haven't done the water-tour, but a friend did and she said it was good, but wished she would have been able to go off on her own (she had to follow a guide) I think what she really wanted was to be able to "floor it"

I'm sure you will enjoy which ever you pick...how could you not, it's Castaway Cay!!!

Hugs,

I've done both of these tours and they both are enjoyable. Personally, I
preferred the personal watercraft tour. Some people seem to indicate that
they did not get to go fast on this tour, but unless you are a real speed
demon, you should be satisfied. Our tour guide asked who wanted to go
fast and those people were right in line behind the lead guide. Most people
did not keep up with the guide and several people, including my wife, had
to be told to speed it up. I would love to do this again, but my wife said
it was too rough for her - and yes we were on separate watercraft.

The parasailing is enjoyable and it certainly was something that I enjoyed
doing once, but I probably would not do it again. You get a beautiful
view of the island and the ship, but my trip was certainly not a thrill ride
except for the boat ride itself which had to go fast in the rough water
to keep the people in the air. My son hated the boat ride, but really enjoyed
the parasailing.

So, I think that it would be hard to choose between them. However, just
book another cruise and do the other one in the future.

My husband has done both of these and speaks highly of both. But I'm guessing he would do the jet skiis over the parasailing because the parasailing (your time in the air) is rather short. But either way you can't go wrong.
