Why give an experience this year
The best gifts are the ones people remember. A parasail flight is a few minutes floating 800 feet above the harbor with the Queen Mary, the downtown skyline and the open Pacific all around you, and a story they’ll be telling long after the wrapping paper is gone. No experience is needed, and it works for almost everyone on your list.
Who it’s perfect for
- The thrill-seeker who already has everything.
- Couples looking for a date idea: 1–3 people can fly side by side.
- Families: kids 5 and up can fly, and there’s no maximum age, so grandparents can join in too.
- Friends visiting Southern California who want something more memorable than another theme park.
- The non-flyer in the group: they can ride along on the boat for $40 and take the photos.
How our gift cards work
Pick $50, $100 or $200, or enter any amount you like. The gift card is delivered by email, so you can print it, tuck it into a holiday card or forward it to someone far away. It works toward any flight, ride-along, photo package or private charter, and it never expires. When your recipient is ready, they pick a date and use the card when they book online.
For reference, one flight is $95 per person plus a 6% booking fee. A $100 card covers nearly all of one flight, and $200 nearly covers two people flying together. Add the $40 photo package so they bring the memory home.
Holiday bonus: buy a gift card by December 31 and we’ll add a free bonus card: $20 with a $100 gift card, or $40 with $200 or more. Use it for the photo package or toward another flight any time through May 31, 2027.
Make a day of it
Pair the flight with the rest of the waterfront: the Aquarium of the Pacific, a walk through Shoreline Village, dinner by the harbor or a tour of the Queen Mary are all close by. Our guide to things to do near Shoreline Village has ideas for building a full day around a morning flight.
Gift-wrapping ideas
- Print the gift card and slip it inside a pair of sunglasses or a beach towel.
- Put it in a holiday card with a photo of the Long Beach skyline from above.
- Give it with a date already in mind, so the two of you can plan the trip together.
