Things To Do In Hilton Head Island

Some people spend their days working with computers and copiers; the staff at Parasail Hilton Head prefer parasails, banana boats, and jet skis. Based at Salty Fare Boat Landing, the team shares its sense of adventure with visitors ages 6 and up. During parasailing outings, Parasail Hilton Head's 31-foot parasail boat zooms through Skull Creek, lifting riders up to 500 feet into the air so that they can ogle the area's million-dollar homes, drifting sailboats, and frolicking dolphins. The company's captains also cut zigzags into the water during wild banana boat rides for up to six people, and they let customers do the driving by renting out jet skis by the hour.

The knowledgeable crew at Sky Pirate Parasail and Watersports facilitates rare aerial and aquatic experiences on Hilton Head Island with a collection of parasailing adventures, water-sports charters, leisurely cruises, and boat rentals. During each parasailing trip, a captain with more than 10 years of experience safely hoists guests up to 500 feet in the air from the deck of a USCG-Certified, 12-passenger boat. They also offer tandem and triple rides, allowing groups to share views of egrets, herons, and lethargic supermen flying nearby. The staff helms leisurely cruises of Broad Creek and Calibogue Sound, and their dolphin ecology tours follow the graceful adventures of nature's synchronized swim team. Guests can schedule a water-sports charter to enjoy several hours of tubing and water-skiing, and they may also rent 16- to 25-foot boats for personal adventures.

Carlos Ahumada, a member of the United States Golf Teacher’s Federation, brings more than a decade of teaching experience to each golf lesson he conducts. His students, which can be anyone from scratch golfers to outright novices, typically begin their lesson programs in an indoor facility. In this initial lesson, a video analysis captures their swing mechanics to set a benchmark for improvement, helping them perfect their ideal swing or finally realize that their brass knuckles are the only things holding them back. After helping them make adjustments to their swing, Carlos narrows his focus a bit, concentrating on those individual areas of the game that the student needs the most assistance with, which can be anything from a lack of proper core strength to an issue relaxing and visualizing.
