Parasailing is becoming more and more popular on St. Thomas. Caribbean Watersports & Tours will take you for the ride of your life—soar about 400 ft/125 m above the sea. A launching platform on the boat keeps you from getting wet, but the captain might dip your toes in the water when you land. The boat picks up at several locations, including beach hotels and cruise-ship docks. US$75 single. If there's room on the boat, you can go along for the ride for US$20.
