Yet another watersport the Maldives is acclaimed for; parasailing is a must-do for anyone touring the Maldives. That said, if you are acrophobic, this might not be suited for you, but if you can overcome that fear, you'll be treated with a thrilling, unforgettable experience. It'll be a quick boat ride, and you'll be parachuted a considerable height into the air. The trick is not to look down at the boat; it'll look minuscule which is bound to unsettle you. You'll be up in the air for good fifteen minutes, and while you are airborne, the great ocean underneath your feet will have cumulated into one picture.
