【Okinawa Main Island】Sky Activity

What is Sky Activity?

As new sports genres emerge, the way of sports in the sky is also becoming established.
One of these is sky activities, also known as air sports.

Sky activities range from slow and leisurely ballooning to flying like a glider to the thrill of skydiving and paragliding.

Sky activities are not new; they have been around for a long time.
Recently, however, there has been a trend to establish sky activities as a competition or to enjoy them as an easy and enjoyable experience sport.
Thanks to this trend, sky activity experiences are now available all over Japan.
A decade ago, sky activities were only available to the rich, or there were no tours to begin with, but now, even beginners can easily enjoy sky activities.

Types of Sky Sports in Okinawa Main Island

Parasailing

Parasailing is one of the sky sports that use parachutes as equipment.
A parachute is like a simple chair, requiring no problematic skills.

Parasailing will give you the exhilarating feeling of walking in the air.
The staff will guide you through the landing and take-off operations so that you can enjoy a safe and secure trip in the sky.

Once up in the sky, you can enjoy the blue sky and the blue sea simultaneously.
The contrast of the blue will be an unforgettable memory that will last a lifetime.

After putting on life jackets and other necessary equipment, you will receive a safety lecture before taking off.
The parachute, which is tied to a rope in the same way as a kite, will rise and fall rapidly.

You will feel a sense of freedom as if you monopolize Okinawa’s blue ocean and sky.

Flyboarding

While parasailing is a relatively old sky sport, flyboarding is a more recent development.
It originated in France and quickly spread worldwide as a cutting-edge marine sport.

The board emits powerful water pressure and is attached to the feet, and the rider flies freely over the water.
When balanced correctly, the board can reach heights up to 9 meters.

Flyboarding has attracted much attention since it was featured in commercials and variety shows, and even world competitions have been held.
Many beaches in Okinawa offer fly-boarding experiences.

Most people who experience sky activities in Okinawa are first-timers.

At first glance, sky sports may seem complicated, but most people who participate in our tours are beginners.

Parasailing is just sitting back and enjoying a walk in the air.
No special skills are required.
Flyboarding requires a very high level of technical skill, but even those who could improve at exercise can ride it with a bit of practice, with a guide showing you the ropes.
