Parasailing allows humans to experience the thrill of flying without resorting to dangerous alternatives such as jumping between planes or playing Flight Simulator online. Enjoy a safer flight with today’s Groupon: for $43, you get a three-mile parasailing ride for one person (up to an $86 value) from Adventures at Sea. This deal is valid at 53 locations in Panama City Beach.

Adventures at Sea gives beachgoers a new perspective on the beach by tying them to a parasail and tugging them into the sky. After passengers board a boat helmed by a U.S. Coast Guard–licensed captain, Zephyrus snatches them up and flings them through the birds' domain for three miles, where they can float with the jet planes at 1,200 feet or skim just above the water. Seasoned crew members supervise the takeoffs and landings, using special platforms on the back of the boat to ensure that each rider lifts off and alights with aplomb. Up to three people can share a single sea breeze, enabling in-flight commentary on the views of dolphins, yachts, and sea turtle synchronized swimming routines below.
