We will be in Aruba on 10 April. Any one have recommendations on good parrasailing boats, locations and costs? How are the beaches? What about the cost of a taxi from the ship to the beaches.

Walk across street from ship to take L1 bus to all resorts. Pay $2.00 for a round trip ticket. Get off at Wyndham Resort and go out to plam beach. Plenty of parasailing and jetskis there. Parasail is $45-50 for 15 minutes and jetskis $40-45 for 30 minutes for a single seat and $55 for a double seat. Beaches rate up there among the best in the world. Water temp averages around 82 degrees F. See www.depalmonline.com and www.wixtours.com for land/sea tours.

Thankyou for the information. One more question. Do we need to tip the boat captain and\or ctew after parrasailing?

I would definitely recommend Itito's right in front of the Radison (I think) and the Aruba Grand. $50.0 a person. AWESOME RIDE

Definitley check out Itito's. They're located between the Hyatt and the Aruba Grand. They're a bunch of great people. Say hi to Andres and Nicole for me.

Do you have to book ahead of time or can you just do it when you get there? I was looking online and the ones I have found are all sold out.

Hi, I'm a Dutch girl and my boyfriend who lives in Aruba works at a great watersport company. Most people do tip de boat captain, at itito's there is only one who drives the boat and one person help you with parasailing. It's 50 dollars pp. Give AJ (my boyfriend) my love :-)
Have fun!
